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:

Priyanka Chopra Oozes Hotness In Black On Jimmy Fallon Show, Reveals ‘Lost Part Of Eyebrow'
Priyanka Chopra stuns in black dress during her Jimmy Fallon appearance; shares eyebrow mishap from Heads of State set. Film drops July 2, 2025. Priyanka Chopra Jonas is once again setting the internet ablaze — this time with her latest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The global icon dropped a series of behind-the-scenes photos from the talk show, where she promoted her upcoming action-packed film Heads of State, set to premiere on Prime Video on July 2, 2025. Dressed in a figure-hugging little black dress, sleek open hair, and minimal makeup, Priyanka exuded confidence and glamour. The images captured her radiant charm as she posed backstage, around the studio, and with Fallon himself. She captioned the post with a cheeky 'Wait up for me 💄," sending fans into a frenzy. But her stylish appearance wasn't the only highlight of the night. On the show, Priyanka recounted a hilarious — and slightly painful — accident from the sets of Heads of State. During a particularly intense action scene in the rain, she accidentally hit a camera matte box and lost part of her eyebrow. 'Could have been my eye," she said. To avoid halting production, she used surgical glue and continued filming in the downpour. In Heads of State, Priyanka takes on the role of MI6 agent Noel Bisset, teaming up with Idris Elba and John Cena in what promises to be a high-octane mission gone wrong. Speaking about the on-set camaraderie, Priyanka revealed how she helped break the ice between Cena and Elba by keeping the energy light and fun. 'There were lots of pranks," she shared, 'It was really fun." Directed by Ilya Naishuller, the film also features an ensemble cast including Paddy Considine, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, Sarah Niles, and Stephen Root. From fashion slay to eyebrow drama to on-set bonding with action legends, Priyanka's Fallon appearance gave fans a delightful preview of what's to come. First Published:
