Priyanka Chopra recently opened up about the cultural differences between her and husband Nick Jonas and how six years into their marriage, they have landed on a sweet spot. Priyanka said that even though they both come from large families, their upbringing in terms of the culture they come from, was quite different and both of them had to learn and unlearn a few things in order to strike a balance.
During a recent chat on Read the Room podcast, she spoke about how they loved each other’s home countries and were ready to embrace each other’s cultures. “He loved everything India, and I grew up in the States, it was literally my second home. So we embraced each other’s cultures in a big way. But it was the cultural things that were different.”
Chopra’s admittance to the Miss India competition in 2000 proved to be the gateway to her celebrity. She was named first runner-up and went on to participate in that year’s Miss World contest, where she was crowned the winner. She was quickly cast in four feature-length films in India, but she was dropped from two of the projects after producers learned that her nasal bridge had collapsed during a surgical polyp removal. One project, Thamizhan (2002), retained her as the lead love interest of an inspired lawyer.
The film’s dialogue was in Tamil, a language she did not know, and she learned her lines with the aid of a dialect coach. For her first Hindi-language movie, The Hero: Love Story of a Spy (2003), the director, upon learning of her surgery, recast her from a leading role to a supporting one. Despite the initial setback in her acting career, Chopra remained active in cinema and later won acclaim for her roles in Don (2006) and Fashion (2008).
Throughout her career Chopra was a vocal advocate and philanthropist for the underprivileged. In 2011 she set up the Priyanka Chopra Foundation for Health and Education to provide children with access to those services—a mission close to her heart, as she was the daughter of medical professionals. Cognizant of representation and access in film, she founded the Purple Pebble Pictures production house in Mumbai in 2015 to support new talent and regional cinema in India.
The company produced films in several regional languages, including Assamese, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, and Marathi. In 2016, after working for a decade for the United Nations Childrens’ Fund (UNICEF), Chopra became a UN goodwill ambassador.

Priyanka Chopra’s role in a ‘Quantico’ episode, where her character uncovers a plot to frame Pakistan for a nuclear attack on Manhattan, sparked controversy in India. Many Indians criticized her for allegedly tarnishing India’s image. To address the backlash, Priyanka issued an apology on Twitter.
In January 2022, Priyanka and Nick took to social media to announce that they were blessed with their first child through surrogacy. Reportedly, it was a premature baby girl.
