Priyanka Chopra Jonas had an unpleasant experience on the red carpet at the premiere of her new romantic comedy in New York City. The 40-year-old actress, who stars in Love Again, shared with American TV show The View co-hosts during Monday's episode that her latest appearance in a denim gown wasn't as perfect as it appeared, as she had a fashion mishap.
"You know, I haven't talked about this because I try and look for this thing every day on social media. But, I was wearing really high heels in this dress for it to look as tall as it did," she explained of her outfit, which consisted of an opulent bleached denim mermaid gown and said shoes. "I fell on the carpet, on my shoes — I fell down all the way to my butt," she continued.
She remembered feeling embarrassed about the incident, but her fall was not widely noticed because the journalists present at the event helped to downplay the incident.

"Everyone put their cameras down and they said, 'Don't worry about it Pri, take your time!' I was mortified by it, but when I saw people do that — they said, 'You're always so nice, you got this' — I stood up. And [even] now, there is no clip [or picture] of me falling down. How nice!" she exclaimed.

This was an act of kindness, which according to Chopra Jonas, she had never seen in her 23 years of being in the industry.
She also recovered with the help of five others, including husband Nick Jonas, 30, who "swooped in" to the rescue.
"It would take a hydraulic lift to get me back up," joked co-host Ana Navarro, to which Chopra Jonas replied: "It really did, it felt like that!"
The Citadel star recently attended the Met Gala and made an impressive impression in her striking black gown, without any embarrassing incidents. This was her first appearance at the event since she and Nick became parents to their 15-month-old daughter Malti in January of the previous year.

The couple paid tribute to the theme of the event, "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," by wearing matching black-and-white ensembles. While Nick wore a leather suit, Priyanka donned an extravagant ruffled gown and white gloves, both outfits inspired by the late designer's favoured colour palette.
On the work front, apart from Love Again, Priyanka Chopra also has Hollywood film Heads of State opposite Idris Elba and John Cena, and Farhan Akhtar’s Jee Le Zara alongside Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif.
