Priyanka Chopra is currently receiving rave reviews for her performance in Heads Of State. Besides her professional side, she is also making waves for major couple goals with husband Nick Jonas. During the promotions, our Global Star has shared a hilarious yet awkward anecdote about the early days of her relationship with Nick Jonas. A story that involved a surprise late-night visit, a confused pop star, and an angry mom. The actor revealed that her mother, Madhu Chopra, was far from impressed when she unexpectedly brought Nick home at 1 am after the 2017 Met Gala. In fact, the couple almost didn鈥檛 happen because of that one incident. How did Nick meet Priyanka’s mom for the first time? Speaking on the Not Gonna Lie podcast with Kylie Kelce, Priyanka recalled that she had just met Nick in person and decided to hang out with him after the Gala. Since she was living with her mom at the time, she did inform Nick that Madhu Chopra was home, but forgot to warn her mother about bringing someone over that late. She explained, “We were at the Carlyle and it was closing. I told him, 鈥楳y mom鈥檚 home. She might be awake’.” ALSO READ: Nick Jonas Helps Priyanka Chopra Untangle Her ‘Crunchy’ Hair, Netizens Call Jiju ‘Amazon Green Forest’ The result was a truly awkward first meeting. Madhu Chopra, who was lounging on the couch watching Law & Order: SVU, was caught completely off guard. Priyanka remembered that she was “so mad. She ran to her bedroom and was like, 鈥榊ou should have told me.'” Priyanka explained that this wasn鈥檛 even a date; they were just getting to know each other. She described the meeting as a casual hangout, but one that quickly spiralled into a tense family moment. To make matters worse, she had also arrived 45 minutes late. 鈥淲e met to kind of see what it was. Then he gave me a hug at the end of the night, and I thought I鈥檇 really royally screwed it up. 鈥 [He] patted me on the back twice.” After that, Priyanka was convinced that she had been 鈥渇riend-zoned.鈥 However, things took a turn for the better. The two stayed in touch, exchanging texts for nearly a year before finally going on a proper date in 2018. From that point on, there was no looking back. The couple got engaged in July 2018 during a vacation in Greece and tied the knot five months later in a big fat wedding celebration in India. Now, parents to daughter Malti Marie, born via surrogacy in January 2022, Priyanka also shared sweet details about their daughter鈥檚 playful personality. From raiding her mom鈥檚 鈥渕agic closet鈥 to giving nicknames to her uncles Joe and Kevin Jonas, little Malti already seems to be the star of the house.
