Priyanka Chopra Shares Roka Revelations and Candid Fears for Daughter Born Prematurely

In new interviews, she highlights Nick Jonas’s embrace of Indian rituals and reflects on a hard-fought path to motherhood.

Overview

  • Chopra says her daughter Malti spent about 110 days in the NICU and that she still lives in “constant fear” when the four-year-old is not by her side.
  • She reveals she had “a really tough time with pregnancies,” describing Malti as a “miracle baby” and explaining how that experience now guides which jobs she accepts.
  • Recounting their roka, she describes walking into a room transformed for a havan kund with four priests chanting and realizing she was “choosing” her new family.
  • She says Jonas fully joined the rituals—saying “swaha” and playing the dholak—then told her their bond felt like a “third or fourth lifetime” because it “feels like home.”
  • Chopra adds that her late father, Ashok Chopra, would have “picked” Jonas for her, praising Nick’s musical gifts and “wise” nature, and wishing they had met.
