Priyanka Chopra inaugurates a cancer ward in memory of her dad

Priyanka Chopra inaugurated a new cancer ward at the Nanavati hospital today. The ward has been named after her dad, Dr Ashok Chopra who lost his brave battle to cancer in June this year.

Priyanka is also believed to have donated Rs 50 lakh to help build this ward.

In Priyanka's words, "Loosing my father was the most difficult situation I ever had to deal with. Cancer and its many complications may have taken him away from us but it never broke his fighting spirit. He was a true inspiration and I have lent my support to this initiative not only to honour his memory but also to take his fight against this dreaded disease forward."

Kudos Priyanka.
