Priyanka Chopra Jonas might be navigating life across continents, but she remains desi at heart and deeply committed to ensuring her daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas grows up connected to her Indian heritage. During her recent appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, the global icon opened up about how she keeps her daughter rooted in Indian culture despite living abroad.
When actor Archana Puran Singh asked what aspects of growing up in India Malti might miss, Priyanka’s response was both heartwarming and reassuring. “She travels to India often. She accompanied me to Hyderabad, she’s been to Mumbai, she’s been to Delhi and even came with me to Ayodhya. I’ve always tried my best to make sure that she is familiarised with Indian culture and traditions, as much as possible,” she shared.
Priyanka described her young daughter’s relationship with traditional Indian attire and continued, “Whenever she puts on her ghagra-choli, she calls herself an ‘Indian princess’. She loves her ghagras and bindis and bangles, which I always take for her.”
The actress often takes to social media to share glimpses of Indian festivals that she celebrates with her family in LA. Meanwhile, during an Ask Me Anything session on X (formerly Twitter) last month, she revealed that Malti had the best time with her co-star Mahesh Babu’s daughter, Sitara, and also visited director SS Rajamouli’s farm.
On the work front, Priyanka Chopra Jonas will be making her comeback to Indian films with SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi. She will share the screen space with Mahesh Babu in the film. There has been an unprecedented buzz surrounding the action-adventure as it marks Priyanka’s comeback to Indian films after The Sky Is Pink and her first Telugu film as well.
Besides this, she will also be seen in the Hollywood films The Bluff and Judgement Day.
