Priyanka Chopra's Mom Had An 'Apprehension' When She Decided To Marry Nick: 'I Just Kept Feeling...'

Priyanka Chopra got married to singer Nick Jonas on December 1, 2018. They dated for a short while before getting married and now have a daughter together named Malti Marie Jonas. Nick and Priyanka are both very close to their families and often spend time with each other’s parents. Recently, Priyanka’s mother Madhu Chopra spoke about how she knew if Nick would make a good husband for Priyanka or not.

Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Madhu said, “We liked him immediately. He is a very likeable person. Like how I had discussed with my husband, I had discussed with Nick also because you can’t get to know if the person is right for my daughter or not by seeing their face once, so my daughter had to choose. I had a nice long discussion with Nick alone to know how he is as a person. After that, I realised that he was just the right person for my daughter. He was what I wanted for Priyanka.”

Speaking about whether Madhu had any apprehensions about Priyanka not marrying an Indian, she said, “My daughter had studied abroad, so she has not felt any difference between white, black and brown. She studied abroad at a time when all these things (skin colour) were normalised. We were also with her so it was normalised for us as well. Our whole family was in America. These things are very normal in our family at least. So I was not worried about white or black, I never had an issue with colour.”

“I just kept feeling that she is going very far away from me. I had a bit of apprehension that she’ll be so far away but then I also felt that it is okay, we can always reach each other in fifteen hours,” Madhu Chopra said.
