Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra has included a song sung by her father in Punjabi film Sarvann .
“My father Dr Ashok Chopra’s rendition of the famous shabad by Guru Gobind Singhji. Sarvann ,” Chopra tweeted on Tuesday with a link to the track.
“One of my original reasons for making Sarvann . Can’t wait to share it with you all. Miss you dad,” she added.
Chopra said: “He had recorded the song and we meant to release it, but then he fell ill... It really feels like he’s next to me when I hear it.”
