Priyanka Chopra Jonas Reflects on Late Father's Potential Bond with Nick Jonas
Global superstar Priyanka Chopra Jonas, recently seen in the film The Bluff, has consistently honored the memory of her late father, Dr. Ashok Chopra, who passed away in 2013 after a courageous battle with cancer. His absence remains a profound void in her life, a sentiment she often expresses through social media tributes and a heartfelt tattoo on her hand that reads Daddy's Li'l Girl.
Father's Approval and Musical Connection
In a recent interview while promoting The Bluff alongside co-star Karl Urban, Priyanka delved into how her father might have perceived her marriage to Nick Jonas. She revealed a strong conviction that Dr. Chopra would have enthusiastically endorsed her choice. Nick is exactly the kind of person my dad would have picked for me if he had a choice, she stated, highlighting a deep-seated connection through music.
She elaborated that her father's first love was music, and Nick Jonas, as a musician and prodigy, would have resonated with him. I do really feel that my husband is a prodigy. For those who know him as a singer, songwriter, or writer, who have seen him in the studio, it's wild to see, Priyanka shared, noting how watching Nick create music inspires her creatively, often visiting his studio for a boost.
Wisdom and Balance in Marriage
Beyond music, Priyanka emphasized Nick's character as a wise soul, something she believes her father would have valued for her. I think he would have wanted someone like that for me because that ain't me, I am not wise. The balance you need, the yin to your yang, she reflected. This insight underscores her belief in their complementary partnership.
She expressed a poignant wish that her father could have met both her husband and their daughter, Malti Marie, born via surrogacy in 2022, marking a new family chapter.
Wedding Memories and Ongoing Legacy
Priyanka and Nick Jonas tied the knot in 2018 in Udaipur with dual Christian and Hindu ceremonies, surrounded by close friends and family. At the time, Priyanka openly shared how deeply she missed her father during the celebrations, a feeling that persists as she navigates motherhood and her career.
Her reflections offer a glimpse into the enduring impact of parental bonds, blending personal loss with joyful milestones in her life with Nick Jonas.
