Priyanka Chopra rose to fame in Bollywood before making her mark in Hollywood and tying the knot with Nick Jonas. The duo later became parents to their daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, whom they are bringing up in a culturally diverse setting. In a recent interview, Priyanka shared insights into their parenting approach and how they consistently appreciate both their cultural backgrounds in Malti.
Priyanka Chopra shares how Nick Jonas is a hands-on father
Talking about being the mother, Priyanka said Vogue Arabia, “My whole existence revolves around her, what time she has to go to school… She is the best thing I’ve accomplished in my life and represents the best of Nick and me. My husband is very hands-on, and even today, because I had to jump on this interview, he was the one preparing her for silly hair day at school. He did the cutest lopsided pigtails on her. Our baby is like a magnet to us, and we run to her wherever we are in the world”.
Priyanka Chopra on balancing cultures with Nick Jonas
Speaking about managing motherhood alongside her global career, Priyanka said, “I’m not a diplomat, I’m an actor, but I try to do my best and use my platform to give a good representation of my culture. I love India, and I’m very, very Indian in my choice of food and so many other things. However, I need to have an understanding that our family is also partially American. While I try to keep my traditions alive in our day-to-day lives, we are in the United States. It’s actually very important for Nick and me that our daughter grows up in this multicultural way. I was more familiar with American culture, so it was easier. For Nick, it was more of an introduction and an education. He loves India and respects it tremendously. He is part of my pujas and religious ceremonies. We celebrate with the same commitment and intention, be it Holi or Thanksgiving”.
