Priyanka Chopra penned a heartwarming note for her mother Madhu Chopra on the latter’s 70th birthday, calling her the “best friend” of all the family members and a person with “infinite” wisdom.

"My dearest mama. The one who has infinite wisdom yet the unbridled joy of a child. The one who protects like a lioness yet is sensitive like a poet. The one who lives life king size everyday and infuses her infectious energy to everyone around. You are our matriarch and best friend,” Priyanka wrote on Instagram alongside a video filled with family pictures and words of advice from her mother.

“Our family is so lucky to have you, your leadership and love. Have the happiest 70th mama. May all your dreams come true and may you always be surrounded by the ones who love you the most. I love you. Your forever champion and fan," her note further read.

The video begins with Madhu speaking on camera. “Love sometimes becomes larger than life and sometimes it becomes life itself,” she says as a montage of photos appear on the screen. Viewers are then treated with unseen visuals of Priyanka’s camaraderie with her mum as the song Road by Katy Perry plays in the background. Pictures of Priyanka’s daughter Malti, husband Nick Jonas and her deceased father also appear in the montage.

As soon as Priyanka posted the video, she was flooded with comments as fans, colleagues and well-wishers extended greetings to her mother. Notable among them was Katrina Kaif, who commented, "Happy birthday." Priyanka will be sharing screen space with Katrina and Alia Bhatt in Farhan Akhtar's upcoming film Jee Le Zara.

Priyanka was most-recently seen as a spy in Russo Brothers’ Amazon Prime Video series, Citadel, alongside Richard Madden.
