Priyanka Chopra Jonas revealed that she finds doing laundry to be a particularly challenging chore and always tries to get someone else to do it for her.
Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who has been receiving a lot of positive response to her work in the recently released film 'Heads of State', has a least favorite household task just like everyone else.
The actress has shared that she once tricked her mother-in-law into doing the task, reports 'People' magazine.
She said, 'Laundry is a hard chore for me. I find it tough. I'll always try to get someone else to do it".
She recalled how she made Denise Miller-Jonas, mother of her husband Nick Jonas do the chore.
She told 'People', 'I can steam an iron, I can fold. But just getting through the process of laundry is just really tough. Too many buttons, too many choices, too many little things. … My mother-in-law tried to teach me once, but that was just my way of getting her to do my laundry for me".
Chopra Jonas adds with a laugh that she plans to give her mother-in-law a heads-up that she disclosed that story.
She added, 'I'm going to call her right now and tell her I said this. 'Just want you to know'".
As per 'People', since marrying Miller-Jonas' son in 2018, the actress has been close with her mother-in-law, sharing occasional photos of family outings with 3-year-old daughter Malti Marie on social media.
The Quantico star once revealed that Nick, 32, and his family tuned into the 2000 Miss World pageant she had won. 'My mother-in-law was like, 'I remember watching you when you won'", she said on 'The Jennifer Hudson Show' in 2023. 'He was 7, I was 17. And he was sitting there, and he was watching".
The actress stars in Ilya Naishuller–directed 'Heads of State' with John Cena as the U.S. president and Idris Elba as the U.K. prime minister. The action-comedy is streaming now on Prime Video. Among Chopra Jonas' other upcoming screen projects are 'The Bluff' starring Karl Urban and 'Judgment Day' in which she shares the screen with Zac Efron and Will Ferrell.

He further explained that if he were to get the role, he would see it as a brand-new opportunity. 'If for Desperate Housewives, if that were to come back… and if they would even want me to come back, I'd have to look at the role and kind of get a sense of what they're thinking about for the character,' Kyle said, before adding, 'So I would approach it like if it were something completely new and weigh how I feel about the role, and the character, and the process and everything, you know?

Narivetta, Madras Matinee And Moonwalk: Must-Watch Regional Films On OTT This Week
Last Updated: Explore top South Indian OTT releases this week including Narivetta, Moonwalk, Paramasivan Fathima & more on platforms like SonyLIV, Aha, and Prime Video. The world of South Indian cinema continues to surprise and stir with stories steeped in local roots, yet expansive in their emotional and cinematic ambition. This week, the OTT space is rich with regional gems—from courtroom battles to adolescent awakenings, spiritual comedies to political thrillers. Here's a curated look at what to stream and why these titles matter. This coming-of-age Telugu comedy dives into the mind of a small-town student obsessed with cracking the top spot in competitive exams. AIR blends school humor, social expectations, and teenage aspirations, offering a charming portrait of the exam-obsessed Indian middle class. Its earnest tone and relatable storytelling make it a quiet but delightful watch for anyone who's ever stared down a syllabus with dreams bigger than reality. Paramasivan Fathima – Aha A bold legal drama rooted in contemporary social discourse, Paramasivan Fathima follows the titular character—a young Muslim woman—who finds herself in the eye of a political storm. Battling bias inside and outside the courtroom, Fathima's fight is both personal and ideological. The film fearlessly explores themes like religious identity, gender injustice, and the loneliness of integrity, making it one of the week's most thought-provoking releases. Madras Matinee – Prime Video & Sun NXT A deeply nostalgic and emotionally textured drama, Madras Matinee celebrates cinema itself through the story of an old, now-defunct single-screen theatre in Chennai. As three different characters revisit the theatre space—each for a very different reason—the film gently unfolds stories of lost love, artistic ambition, and the tender echo of reel-life in real-life. It's a warm, slow burn made for lovers of old-school movie magic. MALAYALAM Set in a small-town Kerala school, Moonwalk centers on a group of teenagers who find refuge and rebellion in dance. Directed with sensitivity and humor, the film captures the bittersweet chaos of adolescence—the longing to belong, the thrill of movement, and the sting of social rejection. Produced by Lijo Jose Pellissery, this teen dramedy is an ode to freedom, expression, and the rhythmic defiance of youth. Narivetta – SonyLIV Tovino Thomas leads this hard-hitting political thriller about a CRPF constable who accidentally finds himself in the middle of a violent conspiracy. As corruption unfurls around him, he's forced to choose between silence and justice. Suraj Venjaramoodu lends strong support in a film that doesn't just thrill—it indicts. The visuals are taut, the drama sharp, and the political commentary biting. In this offbeat fantasy-comedy, a mischievous Grim Reaper—'Shinigami"—visits a sleepy village in Kerala, upending the lives of its oddball residents. Starring veterans Indrans and Jaffer Idukki, the film strikes a rare balance between whimsy and wisdom. It flirts with the concept of death but chooses laughter as its lens, making for a warm, philosophical and culturally grounded tale. First Published: July 07, 2025, 18:55 IST
