Local residents were irked at the comotion caused because of the ceremony and failed to understand why the road should be named after the actress' father and not after soldiers martyred during the Kargil war.
In her speech the actress said, "Many people ask is this road being named after Dr Ashok Chopra because he is Priyanka Chopra's father. No. I am here because I am Dr Ashok Chopra's daughter."
Priyanka who was very close to her father, put on a strong face and smiled through out the ceremony.
The road that leads to Priyanka's house has been named 'Lieutenant Colonel Dr. Ashok Chopra Marg'.
This road naming ceremony has created a bit of a controversy in the state. What was even more surprising was that even the Shiv Sena chief thought that the road was being named after the late Lieutenant Colonel, because he was the actress' father.
Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray graced the occasion and sat on stage with the Chopra family.
The late Dr Ashok Chopra, who served in the Indian Army as a physician and worked closely with the NGO, Army Wives Welfare Association (AWWA) died of cancer, at the age of 64.
Priyanka who is Parineeti's mentor and role model in the industry, greeted each other with a tight embrace.
