Priyanka Chopra is currently promoting her new romantic comedy, Love Again, alongside Sam Heughan and Celine Dion. The movie is directed by James C Strouse and features a cameo from her husband, Nick Jonas.
Now, during a recent chat show, the Citadel actor talked about the special connection she has with her husband, as he watched her win the Miss World pageant in London in 2000 when he was only seven years old and living in the US. According to the actor, this wild story was shared with her by her mother-in-law, Denise Jonas.
Nick Jonas and Priyanka tied the knot in both Hindu and Christian styles in Rajasthan on December 1, 2018. They have been together for four years and are parents to a daughter named Malti Marie Jonas who was born on January 15, 2022.
During an interview with Jennifer Hudson on her talk show, Priyanka shared a peculiar anecdote. She said, "When my mother-in-law told me that story, I was like 'I don't know...'. When I had just turned 18, I won the Miss World pageant. This was in London. This was November and I turned 18 in July. A complete child, and I had no idea what I was doing or what this world entailed, didn't have a lot of practice. Apparently, my mother-in-law was like 'I remember watching you when you won!' I was in London, this is 2000. They were in Texas. I was like, 'There's no way!'

Priyanka continued, "She said, 'I remember it so clearly because it was November. Nick was on some Broadway show at 7 years old. His brother was on some Broadway show at 8 or 9. And she said I remember this clearly because Kevin Sr, my father-in-law, loves watching pageants. I remember he was watching it and Nick came and sat down and watched you win. Which is unfathomable!
"That was 22 years ago or something. He was 7, and I was 17. And he was sitting there and he was watching. It was so weird. I do think that people are meant to be with each other for whatever that duration in your life is supposed to be.

"I think that people collide because you're supposed to create, on this small short life that you have, memories that you will take forward, family and I think that Nick and I had, through our lives, these weird enchanted little moments. But it's lovely now to have found your person."
On the work front, Priyanka will next commence filming for her upcoming movie, Heads of State, in the UK. The film also features John Cena and Idris Elba. She also has Farhan Akhtar's Jee Le Zara in her kitty. Meanwhile, Nick is currently touring the country with his band, Jonas Brothers, along with his siblings.
