Priyanka Chopra says she “took a global pandemic” so she could spend six months with her husband Nick

She married husband Nick Jonas in Jodhpur in traditional Hindu and Christian ceremonies in 2018.

And Priyanka Chopra, 38, talked about married life and how a global pandemic was needed so they could spend time together in an interview with Marie Claire.

The actress is the star of the publication’s spring cover and looked amazing in different shades of pink for the accompanying photo shoot.

Talking about how the pandemic has reduced his hectic work schedules, Priyanka said: ‘Both of our schedules are so crazy individually that there was no world in which we would never spend six months together.

‘A global pandemic was enough to make this happen.’

The actress also talked about how she doesn’t see Nick’s brother Joe and his wife Sophie Turner ‘as often as the world thinks we do’.

Priyanka continued: ‘But whenever we end up together, it’s a big party.

‘It’s all of our parents, the girls and the boys.’

And Priyanka admitted that she reads about herself online.

‘I’m just like everyone else. In the morning, when I’m driving to work or drinking my coffee, ‘she told the publication.

‘I’m flipping through Twitter, Instagram, the news, and when my name comes up, I think,’ Okay, what are people saying? How are we feeling? ‘I just don’t react to it or let it affect my mental well-being. ‘

On the one hand, Priyanka looked stunning in a hot pink cardigan that matched a tight midi skirt with cascading ruffles.

In another, the White Tiger star wore a tangerine-colored dress and wet hair.

But while the star was confidently showing off for the shoot, Priyanka argued about being bullied as a child and admitted that it left her exposed and raw.

‘At school, I feel that the kids who were behind me didn’t even understand why. I think they decided that they were more powerful than anyone else – me – and when you insult someone, it is because you are insecure.

‘Bullying happens to children and adults. It happens with positions of power, and we all saw it being abused in many ways … It affected me negatively. This affected my confidence; affected who I wanted to be. I felt exposed, when your skin is raw. ‘

Talking about his growth as a person, Priyanka continued: ‘For that girl who was so scared, I am proud of the person I have become.

‘I dealt with a lot and came out prosperous. I want girls around the world to think about it.

‘It doesn’t matter where you come from; it doesn’t matter what your circumstances are. Your courage is important, your ambition is important, your perseverance is important.
