You don't know what I've been through. And just because I don't want to make my medical history, or my daughter's, public doesn't give you the right to make up whatever the reasons were."

She was so small, smaller than my hand. I saw what the intensive-care nurses do. They do God's work. Nick and I were both standing there as they intubated her. I don't know how they even found what they needed to intubate her." Recalling the turbulent days, Priyanka Chopra said, "We spent every single day with her on my chest, on my husband's chest. I didn't know if she would make it or not."
