citadel actress Priyanka Chopra Made headlines for playing a tough detective in the Amazon Prime Video series starring Richard Madden. The actress draws attention to her personal life as much as her professional projects. PeeCee has been recently sharing several pictures with her daughter Malti and also brought her to India for her first trip. In a recent interview, Priyanka Chopra recalled the days when Malti was kept in NICU before Priyanka and Nick Jonas could have taken him home.
Priyanka Chopra revealed that she shut down when Malti was born. She said, “This is really another amazing example of the strength of my husband. I kind of… went silent, I didn’t know how to react. I remember him holding me by the shoulders, And I said, ‘Just tell me what to do, because I don’t know what to do.’ And he said, ‘Just get in the car with me.’ And we went by car to the hospital. She was born, and from the time she took her first breath until now, she’s never been without either of us. I don’t think it was our test. I think That this was her test, I realized very early on that I didn’t have the luxury of being scared or weak, because she was scared and vulnerable. And I had to be her strength as her mother. I wanted her to be there every moment. There was a need to make her feel that she is not alone… that we have got her.”
She continued, “You know your baby is alive because you can see her heartbeat (on the monitor). I couldn’t sleep for days because suddenly she came home without a monitor. She used to put her ear on his chest. I used to wake up every two minutes to see if he was okay. For weeks, this went on.
During that time Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra stood together as each other’s strength. The actress revealed that they split the day between visiting Malti in the NICU as the nurses take care of her. She also used to sing her Hindi lullabies in the hospital which her mother Madhu Chopra used to sing for her.
Priyanka Chopra further revealed, “I was close to losing her so many times that she can do anything and I just want her to be happy. I want her to be the happiest. She’s a super smiley, happy-go-lucky kid.” And that’s my whole goal—to see her happy. Every time she smiles, my world lights up, and I want to do just that.
