The 2017 Met Gala night that almost ended it all
Fresh from the Met Gala in 2017, the event that first sparked dating rumours, Priyanka decided to bring
back to her apartment for a casual hangout. But there was one catch: she was still living with her mother, Madhu Chopra.
'
We were at the Carlyle and it was closing. I told him, 'My mom's home. She might be awake,'' she recalled. What she didn't do, however, was warn her mother.
When the couple walked in around 1 am, Priyanka's mother was lounging on the couch watching Law & Order: SVU. Caught completely off guard, she didn't take the surprise well. 'She was so mad. She ran to her bedroom and was like, 'You should have told me,'' Priyanka laughed.
Priyanka assumed she was friend-zoned
To add to the awkwardness, Priyanka showed up 45 minutes late for the hangout. And at the end of the evening, things got even more confusing.
'He gave me a hug and patted me on the back twice. I thought I'd really royally screwed it up... I was like, I've been friend-zoned.'
Nick Jonas Called a 'Green Forest' After Sweetly Helping Priyanka Chopra Untie Her Hair
Despite the rocky start, the two kept in touch over texts for nearly a year. They finally went on a proper date in 2018, leading to a whirlwind romance. Nick proposed in July during a trip to Greece, and they tied the knot five months later in a grand multi-day wedding in India.
Now married and parents to their adorable daughter Malti Marie, the couple continues to enjoy their love story. Priyanka also shared that little Malti already has a big personality. From raiding her mother's 'magic closet' to giving nicknames to uncles Joe and Kevin Jonas, Malti is clearly the tiny star of the Jonas-Chopra household.

Priyanka Chopra reveals her adorable Sunday tradition with Nick Jonas and daughter Malti Marie: ‘It's mandatory'
Actor Priyanka Chopra often shares adorable moments from her family holidays with husband, Nick Jonas, and their daughter Malti Marie on social media. Now, in an interview with People, she has opened up about a weekly family tradition they never skip — and it's all things cute. Priyanka Chopra talked about her mandatory weekly tradition with Nick Jonas and Malti Marie. Priyanka Chopra talks about her weekly tradition Priyanka revealed that "Sunday morning snuggles in bed have to happen", as she spoke about the ritual and said, 'It's mandatory. Being home with my family… The biggest luxury in our lives is being able to waste time together or spend time together and just be languid in it and not worry about having to go somewhere. That one hour you might get when it's quiet in the house and you get to watch Love Island's new season with a glass of wine or maybe even a book [when] I am supposed to be reading my scripts.' She also shared that when she and her husband, along with any guests, are finishing a late-night movie, she quietly raids the fridge for snacks. 'I am that person… a big snacker. I want to make sure I get the snack scavenging in while everyone's distracted with the movie, because you can't do it after. If you do it after, there's too much attention on you: 'What are you eating?' And then everybody wants to eat, and it becomes a meal, and then I'm heating up food. You've got to sneak out during a really important part of the movie. So that's what I do.' Priyanka Chopra's recent and upcoming films Priyanka is earning praise for her performance in the action-comedy film Heads of State, which also stars John Cena and Idris Elba. The film is currently streaming on Prime Video. She will soon be making her comeback to Indian cinema with SS Rajamouli's SSMB 29.

The league of extraordinary gentlemen
We thought we'd seen it all. But when Shah Rukh Khan sported a diamond-studded 'K' pendant from Sabyasachi's in-house line, along with a Bengal Tiger Head Cane featuring sapphires, tourmalines, and diamonds at Met Gala, or when David Beckham casually dropped his skincare routine like it was no big deal, we knew something was changing. The discerning, well-groomed gentleman is embracing a new kind of indulgence—fluid and quiet luxury. It's no longer unusual to see a man layer a Cartier Love bracelet over a white tee, spritz on a niche scent before lunch, or decode a serum label like a sommelier. Take the tennis bracelet. Back in 1987, Chris Evert famously paused her US Open match when her diamond bracelet flew off—and a silhouette was born. Today, that same sliver of sparkle is showing up on men's wrists. 'Diamonds have always been a man's best friend, if you go back to the Mughal era, it was emperors who wore the most elaborate pieces,' says Ash Balani, owner of Malkish Jewels in Mumbai. 'Then came the hip-hop movement of the '80s, which changed the game. Jewellery became armour.' Now, it's everyday expression.
