Priyanka Chopra Says Malti Loves Rosé's ‘APT', Calls Jonas Brothers ‘Donut Brothers'
Last Updated: Priyanka Chopra Jonas reveals daughter Malti's adorable nickname for Jonas Brothers and her love for karate, Bruno Mars and Rosé's music. Priyanka Chopra Jonas may be jet-setting around the world promoting her upcoming film Heads of State, but at home, it's her daughter Malti Marie who's truly the boss. During her June 19 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actress shared sweet anecdotes about her 3-year-old daughter and her growing personality. While promoting her Prime Video action comedy Heads of State, Chopra Jonas revealed that Malti has quite the taste in music. '[Bruno Mars and Rosé's] 'APT' is her favourite song, by the way," she told Fallon, smiling. But what caught fans' attention most was the hilarious nickname Malti has come up with for her father Nick Jonas' band. 'She doesn't identify them, but she calls them the Donut Brothers," Priyanka laughed. Chopra Jonas and husband Nick Jonas welcomed Malti via surrogate in January 2022. Since then, both stars have been candid about their parenting journey. In a 2023 Elle interview, Priyanka admitted, 'I don't even know how I'll ever discipline her because I just don't have it in me… I was so close to losing her so many times that she can get away with anything, and I just want to see her happy." Nick also opened up about Malti's busy schedule on Live with Kelly and Mark. 'She's in nursery school here in New York. She's got her little friend group… These toddler schedules are way more intense than mine," he joked. While soccer wasn't a hit, karate certainly is. 'She's really taken to karate. They get in their outfits and just say, 'hi-ya' — but she's loving it," Nick shared, emphasising how much he values Malti's stable environment and friendships. Despite her A-list status, Chopra Jonas has often acknowledged the emotional challenges of motherhood. 'Every single day you worry about what you can do wrong… But I look at her smile, and I'm like, 'Okay, I'm doing good so far.' It's the greatest thing I've ever done, but it's extremely scary," she told PEOPLE. Priyanka is currently promoting Heads of State, co-starring Idris Elba and John Cena, set to release on Prime Video on July 2, 2025. First Published:

The sudden demise of industrialist Sunjay Kapur in 2025, following a bizarre accident involving a bee sting during a polo match, has deeply impacted many. His funeral in New Delhi saw an outpouring of grief, with his wife, Priya Sachdev, visibly heartbroken. Ex-wife Karisma Kapoor, along with their children and other family members, were also present to pay their respects. Industrialist Sunjay Kapur's untimely death has sent shockwaves through both business and social circles. The 2025 tragedy, marked by a bizarre and heartbreaking turn of events, has not only left a family shattered but also stirred public emotion across the country. As his loved ones came together for his final rites in New Delhi, all eyes were on his grieving wife, Priya Sachdev, who made her first public appearance since the loss, visibly broken and inconsolable. Check out the photo here: Karisma Kapoor , Sunjay Kapur's second wife, was seen at the funeral alongside their children, Kiaan and Samaira. Also spotted for the first time since Sunjay's untimely demise was his third wife, Priya Sachdev. The last rites took place on June 19, 2025, at Lodhi Road Cremation Ground in New Delhi. Dressed in white, Priya appeared visibly heartbroken as she arrived for the ceremony, breaking down in tears. Sunjay and Priya, who married in 2017, share a son named Azarias. Sunjay's funeral was reportedly delayed due to formalities related to his British citizenship. It was Priya Sachdev's father who had earlier confirmed that the last rites would be held in New Delhi. Sunjay's ex-wife, Karisma Kapoor, attended the funeral with their children, Kiaan and Samaira. Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan were also present. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Rio De Janeiro (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo In one emotional moment, Karisma was seen consoling a tearful Kiaan as he broke down during his father's final rites. Kapur married Karisma Kapoor in 2003, but the couple separated in 2014 and were officially divorced by 2016. A year later, Sunjay tied the knot with Priya Sachdev. An Indian-American businesswoman, Priya began her career as a financial analyst before returning to India to manage her family's venture, The Sachdev Group—one of the country's leading automobile dealerships. In the 2000s, Priya made brief appearances in advertisements and even shared screen space with Kareena. She was also featured in leading fashion magazines like Elle and Cosmopolitan. Priya had a small role in the Bollywood film Neal 'n' Nikki. Meanwhile, on June 12, 2025, the nation was shaken by news of the tragic Ahmedabad plane crash. Around the same time, Sunjay Kapur took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his shock and grief over the incident. Just hours later, reports began circulating about his sudden death. Initially, the cause remained unclear, with his company, Sona Comstar, confirming that he had suffered a heart attack. However, later reports revealed that Sunjay had accidentally swallowed a bee while playing polo, which likely triggered a severe allergic reaction, leading to cardiac arrest. An eyewitness told The Telegraph that Sunjay had mentioned swallowing something shortly before he collapsed.
