She wrote, "Five days after Dad died, the day following my father's chautha, 'Mary Kom' was scheduled to begin shooting, and although the film's producer, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, offered to postpone the start date, the sense of duty and discipline I'd inherited from my father and his twenty-seven years in the military wouldn't allow me to accept his offer...As always, work was my therapy. I put all of my grief and a piece of my soul into that character and that film. It's what drove me and it's what allowed me to continue functioning." 

She added that she didn't want to dive into grief or even acknowledge it and wrote, "I walled myself off emotionally". ALSO READ: Priyanka Chopra’s daughter Malti Marie's perfect Sunday features reading & playing with Gino, Diana
