Indian actress Priyanka Chopra on her marriage to Nick Jonas, 20 years of making movies and being honoured at Marrakech Film Festival
- Chopra says she was shocked at the attention her wedding to pop star Jonas got and she could feel the love and affection at two cultures coming together
- She is currently working on The White Tiger, a Netflix film set in India, with actor Rajkummar Rao and director Ramin Bahrani
When Priyanka Chopra, one of the most influential and most beautiful women on the planet, married American pop star Nick Jonas last year, the wedding caused the kind of media frenzy that’s usually only associated with the nuptials of British royals.
“It was shocking,” says the 37-year-old in an interview with the Post. “There were no cameras at our wedding and we only put out a few pictures the day after. So I don’t know how it became so public,” she chuckles. “I feel there was so much love and affection to the fact that two completely different cultures can come together in a very harmonious way.”
Following our interview, Chopra introduced her 2015 epic historical romance, Bajirao Mastani by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, to an ecstatic crowd of 30,000 Moroccans on the Jemaa El Fnaa square.
“I love Morocco, I love Moroccan food, I love the Moroccan people,” she says, “but I didn’t know they can speak Hindi so well. I meet so many people who have conversations with me in Hindi. Some words in Arabic are similar.
