Priyanka Chopra says it took a global pandemic to be able to spend six months with husband Nick

She married her husband Nick Jonas in Jodhpur in traditional Hindu and Christian ceremonies in 2018.

And Priyanka Chopra, 38, opened up about married life and how it took a global pandemic for them to spend time together in an interview with Marie Claire.

The actress is the star of the publication’s spring cover and looked amazing in different shades of pink for the accompanying photoshoot.

Speaking of how the pandemic has slowed down their hectic work schedules, Priyanka said, “ Our two schedules are so crazy individually that there was no world we would have ever spent six months together in.

“It only took a global pandemic for this to happen.”

The actress also explained that she doesn’t see Nick’s brother Joe and his wife Sophie Turner “ as often as the world thinks we do. ”

Priyanka continued, “ But every time we get together it’s a big party.

“These are all our parents, girls and boys.

And Priyanka admitted that she read about herself online.

“I am like everybody else. In the morning when I’m driving to work or having my coffee, ” she told the publication.

“I flip through Twitter, Instagram, the News, and when my name comes up I’m like, ‘Okay, what are people saying? How are we feeling?’ I just don’t react and I don’t let that affect my mental well-being.

For one look, Priyanka looked stunning in a hot pink cardigan which she teamed with a bodycon midi skirt with cascading ruffles.

In another, The White Tiger star donned a plunging tangerine gown and sported wet hair.

But as the star showed confidence on the set, Priyanka discussed being bullied as a child and admitted that it left her feeling exposed and raw.

“In high school, I have the impression that the children who followed me did not even understand why. I think it’s that they decided they were more powerful than someone else – me – and when you go after someone it’s because you are not safe.

“Bullying affects children and adults. It happens with positions of power, and we’ve all seen it abused in so many ways… It affected me negatively. It affected my confidence; it affected who I wanted to be. I felt exposed, when your skin is raw.

Speaking about her growth as a person, Priyanka continued, “ For this girl who was so scared, I’m proud of the person I grew up in.

“I processed a lot and came out in great shape. I want little girls all over the world to think about it.

“It doesn’t matter where you come from; no matter your situation. Your courage matters, your ambition matters, your perseverance matters.
