A road in Mumbai has been named after the father of actor Priyanka Chopra on his first death anniversary.

Lt Col Ashok Chopra Marg in Andheri leads to the apartment building in which the Bollywood star lives. Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray was also present at the event.

Priyanka who carries a wrist tattoo that describes her as "Daddy's Li'l Girl", said it was proud moment for her.

"I got to know about this a month back when I was shooting for Dil Dhadakne Do. So my mom called up and told me that a road is being named after your father. Papa's community, Lions Club, the hospitals he worked with, everybody got together and asked for this. But I got to know just a month back and I felt really proud of my dad, that he had so many achievements that a name has been named after him," said Chopra.

Late Dr. Ashok Chopra was a doctor with the army, who died of cancer a year ago, at the age of 64.
