Till last week when her dad’s condition deteriorated, Priyanka went about her work as normal. Only those close to her know what she’s going through. Priyanka was attending the rehearsals for the Mary Kom bio-pic while attending to her Dad in her free time.

Back in 2008 when she was shooting for Rohan Sippy’s Bluffmaster her father was first diagnosed with the illness. Priyanka had not shared her agony with anyone on the sets.

“It’s the same now. Priyanka hasn’t told anyone at her work place how unwell her father is. When she does all the pugilist practice for her Mary Kom role it’s almost as though she’s venting all her grief through her fists. But now she has postponed all rehearsals,” says the source from the Mary Kom team.
