Priyanka Chopra shares her parenting beliefs in an interview

During a chat with her friend and social media personality Lily Singh, the Quantico actress, shared how she wishes to parent her child. The superstar was promoting her new book, 'Be a Triangle: How I Went from Being Lost to Getting My Life.’

During the interview, the new mother shared that she does not wish to impose her own “desires, fears, upbringing” on her child. She added that she hopes that her young ones will “build their own life.” Priyanka Chopra said:

“As a new parent right now, I keep thinking about that I will never be imposing my desires, fears, my upbringing on to my child. I have always believed that children come through you, not from you. There is no belief like this is my child and I will shape everything. They come through you to find and build their own life. Recognizing that really helped me, my parents were very non-judgemental in a certain way.”

The couple’s baby girl arrived just a week after Chopra expressed her desire to have a child of her own in an interview with Vanity Fair. She said:

“By God’s grace, when it happens, it happens. They’re a big part of our desire for the future.”

She also told Tatler magazine that she has always wanted to build a family of her own and “at the right opportune time, it will happen.”

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas tied the knot in an extravagant three-day affair in India in December, 2018. The couple blended traditions of their own cultures. Chopra told People that she insisted on doing so “in a respectful and meaningful way.”
