Why Priyanka Chopra Says Late Dad Would’ve Picked Nick Jonas for Her

Priyanka Chopra Jonas knows her late dad is always by her side.

Despite the passing of her father, Ashok Chopra, in 2013 after a long fight with cancer, Priyanka Chopra feels comforted knowing he would have wholeheartedly approved of her husband, Nick Jonas.

Priyanka shared with chef Josh Scherer that her husband, Nick, is the type of person her father would have chosen for her. She explained on Mythical Kitchen’s Last Meals that her dad was passionate about music – he loved both performing and appreciating it, and admired the skill involved.

Priyanka thinks Nick Jonas is incredibly talented – a true prodigy – and believes her father would have admired him greatly.

She explained that Nick was a very insightful person, and she believed he would have wanted a partner who was more like that – someone unlike herself.

As a longtime fan, it really touched me to hear Priyanka Chopra Jonas talk about her family. She shared that having her dad meet Nick and little Malti would have been a dream come true for her, and honestly, it just felt so relatable and sweet. It’s clear how much family means to her.

Although Ashok never had the chance to know Nick or Malti, Priyanka believes her father and a guiding force from beyond played a role in shaping her life.

It felt like someone was forcing my hand,” she explained. “I was pushed to move to America, pursue a pop music career, and ultimately, that’s how I met the man who would become my child’s father.

She explained that things just fell into place unexpectedly. It wasn’t something she’d planned or even wished for; life simply led her down that path, and she had to make the best of it. Looking back, she finally understood the reason it all happened.

It’s like I was being guided, almost forced, towards a life in America. I felt this pressure to pursue a pop career, and it led me down this incredible path where I eventually met the man who would become my child’s father. It was a strange, powerful feeling, like something was pushing me forward, even when I wasn’t sure where I was going.

She explained that the experience felt like a happy accident. She hadn’t been looking for it or planning for it at all. Life simply led her there, and she had to adapt and overcome. Looking back, she finally understood the purpose it served in her life’s path.

People began speculating about a relationship between Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra after they appeared together on the red carpet at the 2017 Met Gala.

By going to a Dodgers game and the Beauty and the Beast Live in Concert show together, this couple subtly revealed they were dating with their public appearances.

I was so thrilled when I found out Nick proposed to Priyanka in July 2018! It all happened so quickly – they’d only been dating for about two months! Apparently, Nick was really serious, because I read he actually closed down the entire Tiffany & Co. store in London just weeks before to find the perfect engagement ring. It was such a sweet and grand gesture!

The newly married couple continued their wedding festivities with a lavish reception at the Taj Palace Hotel in New Delhi, India, following two ceremonies held earlier in India.

 

The Bollywood actress and Nick took lovely photos together while celebrating their wedding reception in Mumbai, India.

Priyanka was a huge fan and strong supporter when the Jonas Brothers got back together and went on their Happiness Begins tour. She was often seen enjoying the concerts, singing along and dancing with the crowd.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra revisited the place where their love story began – the Vanity Fair Oscars after party. They attended the event in 2019, two years after first meeting there in 2017. Nick later told Vogue that when he saw Priyanka that night, he was so struck by her that he dramatically exclaimed, in front of a crowd, ‘You’re real! Where have you been all my life?’

 

In 2017, the couple made a glamorous appearance at the Met Gala with Ralph Lauren. By 2019, they returned as a newly married couple!

As a newly married couple, they blended Christmas traditions from both of their families to create their own celebration.

Everyone’s watching this Hollywood couple during award season because they always impress with their style.

Priyanka and Nick welcomed their first child, Maltie Marie, in January 2022.
