Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas' late-night fiasco
According to a Page Six report, during her appearance on the Not Gonna Lie podcast with Kylie Kelce in July, the 42-year-old actor revealed her mother was furious the first time she brought Nick home.
The Baywatch actor clarified the couple were not dating at the time of the incident. Chopra was living with her mother and had just met Jonas in person ahead of their joint 2017 Met Gala appearance.
Reportedly, the Quantico actor invited him back to her apartment around 1 am after they decided to hang out post-Gala. The actor recalled that she informed Jonas about her mother being home; however, what she forgot to do was to inform her mother that she was bringing a guest.
The result? A surprise encounter with Madhu Chopra, who was lying on the couch watching Law & Order: SVU.
Madhu Chopra caught off guard by Nick Jonas' late-night visit
Chopra said her mother was angry and ran to her bedroom. She admonished the Bajirao Mastani actor for not informing her about the guest accompanying her. She recalled that her mother refused to come back out and meet Jonas later on.
In spite of what sounds like an uncomfortable meeting, Chopra, as per another Parade report, insisted that it was not a date. She elaborated that the two met to test the waters and added that at the end of the night, the Chains singer hugged her and gave two pats on the back. The actor confessed to thinking she had 'totally blown' her chance.
Priyanka feared Nick Jonas had friend-zoned her
Priyanka believed the singer had friend-zoned her, and the fact that she had shown up 45 minutes late to their hangout did not help. However, the duo kept exchanging texts for nearly a year before they finally went on a proper date. Chopra reportedly told Kelce that after the first date, they never stopped dating.
The couple, who made their relationship public in 2018, got engaged that July while vacationing in Greece. Then, five months later, they got married in India with a big, multi-day party.
In January 2022, they welcomed their daughter Malti Marie, now 3, via surrogacy. Chopra, according to Parade, also gave fans a glimpse into Malti's personality on the podcast. She revealed that the toddler loves raiding her 'magic closet' and has nicknames for her uncles: Joe (Go) and Kevin (Kevy) Jonas.

From tweet to treat: Superfan Ranjith 'overwhelmed' by Neeraj Chopra's heartfelt gesture
Bengaluru: For Ranjith Kumar Ravichandran, a die-hard fan of Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra, it was nothing short of a dream come true as his travel and stay to witness the inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic has been sponsored by none other than the reigning world champion himself. Ranjith, who hails from Coimbatore, had taken to social media to ask for help in attending India's first international javelin competition slated for Saturday evening in Bengaluru. "If anyone can sponsor me ₹2,000, I can go to watch this from Coimbatore," he posted on X on June 25. Neeraj replied a day later, offering him a complete VVIP experience and a five-star hotel stay. 'Hi, Ranjith. You've got a full VVIP experience waiting for you in Bengaluru because your trip to @nc_classic is on me! And thanks to @RadissonHotels, you'll be staying about 90 metres away from me. See you soon!' Chopra posted. Speaking to IANS just before the event, Ranjith said, 'I couldn't believe it was really happening. I was extremely overwhelmed — it felt surreal to even receive a reply from Neeraj Chopra himself. I couldn't believe it at first. No one could have planned for something like this. After all, it's not every day you get to meet a champion.' 'Nobody in my family believed it at first, just like me. I had to explain to them, 'Yes, it's really happening,' and walk them through everything. But in the end, everyone was happy — my friends, my family — they were all genuinely excited,' he added. Adding to the charm surrounding the event, Chopra also had an unplanned encounter with an elderly fan during a walk through the streets of Bengaluru earlier this week. Calling him a "kind-hearted uncle", the interaction was shared via a reel on the Neeraj Chopra Classic's official Instagram handle. 'Sometimes, the best moments aren't planned. A quiet street in Bengaluru. A kind-hearted uncle. And a javelin legend who never forgets where he comes from,' read the caption. As a World Athletics-sanctioned Gold event, the Neeraj Chopra Classic promises to elevate India's status on the global athletics map. It will feature a stellar line-up of elite javelin throwers. The event will see the participation of global javelin stars, including Chopra, Thomas Rohler, Julius Yego, and others. Chopra played a pivotal role in the staging of the event in India.

Fan Reacts To Neeraj Chopra Sponsoring NC Classic "Full VVIP Experience" For Him
Athletics fan base is swelling in the country thanks to 'Neeraj Chopra effect' and Coimbatore resident Ranjith Kumar Ravichandran, who earned a fully paid trip to watch the NC Classic hosted by the superstar himself, exemplified the die-hard followers tracking their favourite player rain or shine. Last month, Ranjith tweeted his wish to watch the inaugural NC Classic if somebody sponsors Rs 2000 to cover his expenses. To his delight, he received an all-expense paid trip to the event with Chopra offering him a full VVIP experience, including accommodation. The 30-year-old said he felt "surreal" to be watching this world class event, which has been given Category A status by World Athletics, following his "random" tweet. "I just randomly tweeted, I must have forgotten about it. After a day or so, suddenly a notification popped up in 'X' platform, a quoted tweet from Neeraj himself. I was like: Is this even real? Somebody come and pinch me so that I can feel it," Ranjith, who works in a private firm in Coimbatore, told PTI. "All of a sudden everything was happening. People were sharing the news and I was getting calls and all those things. I couldn't believe it initially. I checked twice. It's from Neeraj Chopra. I had to refresh and check it again whether it's real or not. "Then I got a call (from NC Classic organisers) saying you are the lucky person to get sponsored to visit the event, stay in a (five-star) hotel and all those things. It was a pretty surreal moment at that time." Asked what will be his first reaction when he meets Chopra in person for the first time, he said, "I think I will be frozen for a moment. I will ask, are you real? I'll also get a signature so that I can probably frame it for a lifetime." He has been closely following Chopra since his early days, from 2016 when the Indian superstar became the junior world champion. "I have been following him since the beginning of his career, his junior world title in 2016. He even made a world record which still stands. Every time when I see the record I get goosebumps because that is the only Indian record you could see in world athletics. "His Asian and Commonwealth Games gold in 2018, then Tokyo Olympics happened. It was a very much surreal moment for many people," Ranjith, who is also pursuing a post graduate in Data Science in Coimbatore, said. "We have a group of friends. People were (travelling) in so many places after COVID, so we had a trip. The event (Tokyo Olympics final) was happening, we put all our trip aside, we were watching that javelin final. We were screaming like anything when it happened (Chopra won gold)." Ranjith had to sacrifice his sleep as he had to stay awake to watch Chopra's events around the world, including Diamond League meetings, which happens late at night in India due to time difference. "I am also working and sometimes it's difficult but I manage somehow. I have to sacrifice sleep to watch Neeraj events late at night. "Usually, Neeraj's events end after midnight. But I will keep the alarm ready or remain awake till late night to watch the events. I have to sacrifice my sleep," said Ranjith, who has his mother and a sister in the family. Apart from following athletics events, he has also travelled to Bhubaneswar in 2018 to watch the hockey World Cup but on his own expense. "I used to play hockey in my college days and was in the NCC. My favourite hockey player is Manpreet Singh. He is such a great player but so humble and does not show off," Ranjith said of the player who captained India to a historic bronze medal in the Tokyo Olympics.
