Globally acclaimed Indian actress Priyanka Chopra tied the knot with singer Nick Jonas in 2018. The couple welcomed their daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, via surrogacy in 2022. In a recent interview with Marie Claire, Priyanka Chopra opened up about the challenges she faced with pregnancy and shared how her life transformed after Malti’s arrival.
Priyanka Chopra further shared that Malti was in the NICU for 110 days and said, "Our daughter was very coveted and very desired because I had a really tough time with pregnancy. She's my miracle baby, so everything just stopped when she was born. I think it's a preemie mom or a NICU mom thing, but I'm still in constant fear. When she's not right by my side or she's at school or when I'm in a different country, it's this feeling that your heart is running outside of your body."

It's such a wonder to me that she's this human being who has so much of me, my husband, her grandparents, her ascendants, and every day she's a surprise. She's the greatest gift of my life. All my priorities have changed. Everything starts and ends with her."
Priyanka Chopra revealed that the announcement of her daughter’s birth became necessary after the news leaked. She explained that Malti had to be admitted to the ICU because she was born prematurely. Priyanka Chopra recalled that during this time, Nick Jonas would play his guitar and sing to Malti while the actor herself chanted the Mahamrityunjay Mantra, the Gayatri Mantra, and the Om Namah Shivaya mantra. She frequently shares pictures of special moments with her daughter. Priyanka also brings Malti to her sets and was recently seen caring for her between shoots while working on The Bluff.
