Sharing the pictures, Priyanka captioned the post, “All of 6, celebrating my Nani’s (maternal grandmother) birthday. She helped raise me while my mom and dad balanced studying and medical careers. She was a hugely consistent part of my upbringing. I feel so lucky that I had so many strong maternal figures in my life.”

She added, “I’m so grateful for you all. Miss you always Nani. Also, @chickyp85 looking most adorable as always! PS- why do I look so diabolical in the first picture? Your thoughts? (laughing emoji) #mondaymusings #memories #motherfigures #nostalgia #just.” 

Priyanka has been sharing pictures on Instagram, giving her fans glimpses of her life since she became a mother earlier this year. Recently, she spent her weekend with her cousin, friends, and pet dogs. “Soul Sunday with the girls. And pups,” she captioned the post.

In the photos, Priyanka can be seen wearing a rose pink colored co-ord set which had a jacket and a pair of shorts. She tied her hair in two braids. She also shared a few stories of herself on Instagram, eating out, and asking in a poll, “Do you think shaking after you overeat will make room for more?”
