The Indian actress who got her start in Bollywood has taken Hollywood by storm ever since she
landed the lead role in the ABC drama, Quantico, and married Nick Jonas. However, there are
some weird things that everyone ignores about Priyanka Chopra .
Age is just a number. That being said, it hasn't stopped Priyanka Chopra from receiving
a lot of raised eyebrows from the masses for her ten-year age gap with husband Nick Jonas.
While Chopra was born in 1982, Jonas was born in 1992. Of their age difference, Chopra told
InStyle in 2019,
"People gave us a lot of s--- about that and still do....I find it really amazing when
you flip it and the guy is older, no one cares."
Celebrity weddings are usually over-the-top, ridiculously expensive, and regularly seem
to end in divorce. But one of the strangest reasons that Chopra and Jonas' wedding hit
the headlines was because of the amount of branding that went into it. As Vox reported,
"There’s also been a great deal of chatter about their multi-day wedding, which was very
publicly documented on the two celebrities' Instagrams and featured references to a number
of prominent brands."
Basically, it seemed extremely obvious that the pair got their wedding heavily sponsored.
However, according to vanity fair,
"A source close to the couple noted that Jonas is an investor in Lime electric scooters [...] and
that Chopra only agreed to work with Amazon on her registry after they agreed to her [...] terms."
At the end of the day, both Chopra and Jonas appeared happy on their wedding day, and that's
all that counts, right?
It's not exactly surprising when celebrities ignore or downright deny rumors about their
relationship status. Still, there was something kind of strange about how Priyanka Chopra
handled the questions that were thrown her way about her appearance with Nick Jonas at
the Met Gala in 2017. Even though they attended the event together, it seems as though they
weren't quite ready to make their relationship official. When Chopra appeared on Jimmy Kimmel
Live after the event, the host asked,
"Are you dating Nick Jonas?! Isn't he like, 11 years old?"
Chopra simply laughed, and responded,
"We were both wearing Ralph Lauren, and we decided to go together because it was fun!"
"I didn't ask his age. Eleven?!"
"Yeah, he's eleven years old."
According to both Chopra and Jonas, they didn't start dating until May 2018. But their joint
appearance at the Met Gala a year earlier hinted that the lovebirds were meant to be.
Though Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are an interesting pairing, there's a lot more
to their relationship than meets the eye. According to body language expert Traci Brown
told Elite Daily, there is something definitely off about them as a couple. Brown analyzed
the body language between the so-called happy couple in one Instagram photo, and to her,
it seemed as though Chopra was way more into Jonas than the other way around. She explained,
"She's showing ownership of him with her hand on his chest and also showing off that ring.
[...] He's showing that he doesn't want to be bothered with the moment [and is] even
a little irritated. [...] [Chopra] has a ton of energy for [Jonas] and he just doesn't
show any emotion at all. He can't even crack a smile."
However, it's also possible that the singer is just a bit camera-shy, as he most definitely
seems to have a lot of love for his wife. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight
in 2019, Jonas gushed,
"It was kind of an instant thing. I knew once we locked in together that I had a partner
for life and a teammate, someone I could walk through the good times and the bad times with,
and that was the key. [...] I’m blushing now!"
There's no doubt that Priyanka Chopra is a very successful woman in the entertainment
industry. However, she sometimes comes across as a little stuck-up about her talents and
judgemental of other performers. Speaking with The Daily Beast in 2019, Chopra explained,
“I come from a very academic family [...] I was very academically inclined. When I was
17, I didn’t really think that the profession of glamour was a real profession, because
everyone in my family was academic, but it changed, by fluke, when I won Miss India.
When I did, and I started working in movies, I realized that I was very creatively inclined
as well."
In case you missed it, there were two humble-brags thrown in there about how brilliant Chopra
is, as well as how beautiful, since she calls her Miss India win a fluke. Additionally,
she tossed aside the notion that people like actors, singers, or models are actually hard
workers. It was definitely a weird comment, and kind of came across as out-of-touch. Chopra
went on to define herself as a multi-hyphenate as she told The Daily Beast,
"[The] arts is something I really found fascinating. From there, I become a producer as well, and
now I’m an author as well. And my creative verticals just expanded from there."
Talk about tooting your own horn.
Many people are already wary about Priyanka Chopra's marriage to Nick Jonas, and perhaps
they have reason to be. As it turns out, the Baywatch star gave an interview to Filmfare
in 2016 and claimed that the only reason she would get married would be to have kids. As
she told the publication,
"I buy my own diamonds. I don’t need someone to buy them for me. When a guy comes into
my life it’ll not be for the diamonds, it’ll not be for the cars, it’ll not be for the
homes. [...] A guy will be in my life only when I’m wholly, crazily in love. I don’t
need a guy for anything else except for children. Don’t jump to conclusions because of my
jewelry!"
However, it seems that Chopra has changed her mind about men since marrying Jonas. In
an interview with Tatler in March 2020, the star revealed,
"Right now, this year’s really packed for me in terms of the work that I’m doing and
the work that I’ve taken on [...] But having a family is very important to me and it always
has been. It is something that I definitely want to do and I’m hoping that whenever
God wills it, at the right, opportune time, it’ll happen."
Only time will tell if Chopra and Jonas are ready to start a family together.
