Here's Why Priyanka Chopra Calls Daughter Malti Marie A 'Weird Child'

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are among the most beloved celebrity couples worldwide. They frequently share adorable photos of themselves and their family on social media, delighting their fans. Nick has consistently been Priyanka’s biggest supporter, and there’s plenty of evidence to back up this claim. Besides being a perfect husband to Priyanka, he is also a loving father to Malti Marie, and fans are captivated by their bond.

Priyanka Chopra Calls Daughter Malti Marie A ‘Weird Child’

In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Priyanka, who is currently promoting her upcoming project, The Bluff, shared a funny story about her daughter. She jokingly refers to Malti as a ‘weird child.’ Priyanka explained that during a filming of an intense scene, she was covered in fake blood for her character.

When Malti saw her mother in that state, she immediately became worried and asked if she was hurt. Priyanka reassured her that it was all pretend and part of acting, but Malti’s reaction surprised her. Instead of being alarmed, the toddler quickly adapted, even painting the fake blood on her own face and playing along. Priyanka laughed as she recounted the moment, calling it one of those unexpected parenting experiences that left her both amused and amazed.

PC Reveals She & Nick Were Forced To Announce Malti’s Birth

Priyanka has often opened up about her daughter’s early arrival and the emotional journey that followed. Malti was born prematurely via surrogacy and spent over 100 days in the neonatal intensive care unit before coming home. Priyanka has described that period as incredibly challenging, sharing how protective she felt as a new mother.

In a recent appearance on Jay Shetty’s podcast, Priyanka revealed that she and Nick were “forced to announce her birth” just before they were ready, as the news was about to become public. At that time, they were still navigating the delicate early days of Malti’s premature arrival and weren’t emotionally prepared to share the news.

PC’s Family

Regarding her family, Priyanka married Nick Jonas in 2018 in Rajasthan, with a blend of Christian and Hindu ceremonies. They welcomed Malti in January 2022. Although Priyanka previously shared her daughter’s photos on social media, she has not done so recently.
