In the glitzy world of Bollywood, family bonds are often overshadowed by the glamorous lives of its stars. However, some celebrity families, like the Chopras, manage to stay rooted in their close-knit connections. Recently, Mannara Chopra shed light on the strong familial ties that bind her, Priyanka Chopra, and Parineeti Chopra in a candid interview, providing a glimpse into the fascinating world of the Chopra cousins.
The Chopra Clan's Special WhatsApp Group
Mannara Chopra, a talented actor herself, revealed in a 2018 interview that the Chopra cousins are more than just relatives; they are a tight-knit group who make it a point to stay connected despite their bustling schedules. Mannara, Priyanka, Parineeti, and a total of 14 cousins, scattered across different cities and continents, share a WhatsApp group appropriately named 'The Chopras.' In this digital haven, they exchange details of their daily lives, sharing everything from the mundane to the extraordinary.
"We cousins, we are 14 of us, and we have this family cousins’ WhatsApp group called ‘The Chopras.’ We know what’s happening in each other’s lives. It is mandatory for us to share pictures from wherever we are. Some of us cousins are constantly traveling, so, we also share pictures from our trips," Mannara explained. The group serves as a virtual family gathering, allowing the cousins to bridge geographical gaps and nurture their family ties.
Sibling Love and Support
Mannara Chopra's journey on Bigg Boss 17 brought the spotlight back on the Chopra family. In a touching gesture, Priyanka Chopra took to Instagram to wish Mannara luck on her Bigg Boss adventure. She shared a heartwarming throwback picture featuring a young Mannara and herself. In the image, Priyanka, wearing the Miss World crown, stood alongside her cousin, exuding pride and affection.
Priyanka's message to Mannara was simple but heartfelt: "Throwback to little Mannara Chopra. Good luck, little one." The message conveyed not just familial love but also underscored the support system that exists within the Chopra family, even as they navigate the glitzy world of entertainment.
A Solo Journey on Bigg Boss
In her interview before entering the Bigg Boss 17 house, Mannara Chopra emphasized her independence and individualism in making life decisions. She chose not to seek advice or discuss her decision to participate in the show with her famous cousins, Priyanka and Parineeti.
Mannara explained, "Nobody in my family is aware that I plan to go for Bigg Boss. Whatever decisions I have taken for my life were very individualistic and not discussed or influenced by somebody. For most of my life, I have got my work with a lot of hardships and auditions. And I’m very proud of myself. I’m not in a habit to just go and tell people what I’m doing on my personal front."
This approach reflects Mannara's determination and self-reliance as she steps into the spotlight, carving her own path in the entertainment industry, much like her cousins.
In conclusion, the Chopra cousins, with their 'The Chopras' WhatsApp group, exemplify the enduring bonds that unite them despite their divergent career paths and global locations. While they may pursue their dreams individually, their shared family values and support remain a constant in their lives. Mannara's journey on Bigg Boss 17 showcases her determination to take on challenges her own way, supported by the love and blessings of her cousins Priyanka and Parineeti.
