The secret behind Priyanka Chopra's nickname
During her interview with a leading daily, Priyanka Chopra talked about the interesting story behind her nickname. You would be surprised to know that Priyanka Chopra's nickname is actually Mithu, which was given to her by her father, Late Ashok Chopra. Priyanka revealed in an interview that due to her habit of constantly repeating people, her daddy gave her the nickname of Mithu.
But when Priyanka was a toddler, she realised that her nickname Mithu does not suit her personality. An astounding fact is that Priyanka Chopra changed her nickname herself to Mimi. She added, that during her childhood days, she had heard Mimi somewhere, and that's when she decided, it's "Mimi" that she needs to be called. Priyanka Chopra told her father the same, but he wasn't convinced, so she had a word with her mother who loved the name, Mimi.
Thus, it was Dr. Madhu Chopra, her mother, who finally nicknamed Priyanka Chopra as Mimi. She liked the name, Mimi, as it was that of a celebrated French actor Mimi Rogers. PCJ also joked about the fact that her mother must have foreseen that her daughter will one day become an actor.
On the work front, Priyanka has a few interesting film projects in the pipeline. She will be seen in Hira Mandi directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Sheela, which will be helmed by Barry Levinson.
