PRIYANKA CHOPRA JONAS: Fame, Motherhood, Love and the Moment That Changed Everything

What happens when you spend your whole life chasing your dreams, only to realize peace was the real success all along? Five years after their first conversation, Jay sits down in person with global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas for a deeply intimate and unfiltered dialogue about evolution, identity, motherhood, and the courage to begin again. What unfolds isn’t just a reflection on career milestones or public success, it’s a story about slowing down after decades at full speed, choosing peace over pressure, and realizing that the greatest luxury in life isn’t achievement, but time. Priyanka opens up about the ambition that defined her early years, dominating Bollywood, pivoting to Hollywood at the height of her success, and always chasing the next opportunity. In this season of her life, something has shifted. Marriage, motherhood, and hard-won self-awareness have softened the edges of perfectionism and control. Priyanka speaks candidly about feeling “cornered” at pivotal moments, moving continents during one of the darkest periods of her life, and rebuilding from the ground up in a new industry. Through therapy, faith, and the steady presence of her husband Nick, she’s learned to ask a powerful question: Is this thought constructive? In a world that celebrates hustle, Priyanka is learning to celebrate stillness. The most profound transformation, however, came with the birth of her daughter, Malti Marie, a journey marked by fear, fragility, and fierce devotion. Priyanka shares the emotional reality of welcoming a premature baby into the world, the long months in the NICU, and the moment her priorities shifted forever. It was a season that changed how she understood strength, not as control, but in letting go and protecting what matters. Through faith, family, and a steady commitment to her partner, Priyanka’s grown not just as an artist navigating industries, but as a woman more at ease with who she is and where she’s headed. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Pivot Careers Without Losing Yourself How to Stop Being So Hard on Yourself How to Handle Public Criticism Without Breaking How to Communicate Feelings Before Jumping to Solutions How to Trust the Timing of Your Life How to Protect Your Peace in a Noisy World How to Stay Grounded Through Trauma and Uncertainty How to Choose Gratitude Over “What If” Thinking Choosing family won’t cost you your dreams. Slowing down won’t erase your ambition. Keep going, keep growing, and most of all evolve on your own terms.

• 2:01Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  When we were told that she's coming 27 weeks, I just shut down.

• 2:10Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And we got a text saying her birth is going to be put out. We were kind of forced into announcing her birth. We weren't ready because we didn't know what would happen with her.

• 2:22Jay Shetty?

  Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose. Today's guest is one of our most popular episodes ever, even though we did it digitally, even though we were all living very, very different lives. And I'm so excited that today we get to have her not just on camera, but in the studio. I'm speaking about the one, the only Priyanka Chopra Jonas, an award-winning global actor, producer and entrepreneur, who has led at the highest levels of both Bollywood and Hollywood. With over 60 films to her name, multiple Filmfare Awards and recognition on Time 100's Most Influential People list, she's become one of the most influential artists in entertainment. Priyanka's new movie, The Bluff, a 19th-century pirate-action thriller, is out now on Amazon Prime Video.

• 3:07Jay Shetty?

  You won't want to miss this one, I promise you. Please welcome Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Priyanka, it's great to have you here.

• 3:14Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Wow, that intro was like, I was so tight. As you were saying it.

• 3:20Jay Shetty?

  What were you feeling? What goes through your head when you hear all those amazing accolades? Amazing, and you know, that was just the tip of the iceberg. There's so many more.

• 3:27Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It's fine if it's like written about or it's at a little bit of a distance, but when you say it to my face, it's like, I don't know, it feels obnoxious a little bit.

• 3:36Jay Shetty?

  Oh, well, I think that's a sign of your good character. But I wanted to add to the formal introduction just how the little time we spent together, how wonderful it's always been, whether I bumped into you at friends' birthday parties like last year or whether it's the amazing Diwali party that you and Nick threw a few years back, which has stayed and etched in our memory or whether it's the Super Bowl party, seeing as we've just gone past Super Bowl. We came over to you for a Super Bowl party once and you're like the best host. Like, I literally felt, I was like, you were making sure we'd eaten and making sure we're drunk and just the best experience with you and the family always. And so, thank you for being as kind off-screen as you are on-screen and just as wonderful as well. And it's been a gift getting to know you and I'm so glad you're back in L.A.

• 4:17Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Me too, I'm so glad to be back in L.A. And thank you, we do, you know, we're house proud. We like, we've always liked hosting and having friends and family over. I mean, I'm Punjabi anyway and I'm married a Punjabi American, I think. We're just so similar when it comes to those values and we will just enjoy it so much. Like, our first Thanksgiving together, it was in Delhi because I was filming a movie there. And I remember my mom was giving a toast and she said, may your table always grow longer and bigger and it always include people you love. And I feel like that is something that happened to us and we really enjoy it.

• 5:02Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, it's beautiful. You do a great job of it. I was just looking back and I just showed you. The last time you were on the show was exactly five years ago, but like four day difference, which is wild.

• 5:12Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Five years ago.

• 5:13Jay Shetty?

  Exactly five years ago in February. When I, when I think about how much your life has changed from the outside, what to speak of your own experience of your own life. I wanted to ask you, what's, what's the most surprising thing that you enjoy about this stage of your life that maybe you wouldn't have seen five years ago? Or maybe you wouldn't have noticed five years ago, but you've kind of discovered as where you are right now of what's bringing you joy, what's, you know, lighting up your life.

• 5:39Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  My daughter. And also I think I have found a sense of peace. I ran really fast for a really long time and it was all I knew.

• 5:52Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I was dropped into a business at a very young age that I had no idea about, nobody in my family had any idea about. It started with pageants and then Bollywood movies and, and then Hollywood. But I think in all of that, it's so uncertain, right? Our jobs, it's gig to gig. So when I first started, it was just like about you have to keep moving and what's the next thing? And it was sort of like this weird training that I didn't know how to unlearn. And I didn't know that there was any other way of being. And over the last few years, and I don't know if it's the influence of my husband, moving countries,

• 6:35Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  working at a different pace, becoming a parent, I, maybe it's a confluence of all of them. But I feel at a sense of peace with what I've been able to achieve and what I may or may not achieve. Like initially I was, I'm still a perfectionist, but. I think I was greedier when it came to ambition. Now I think I um prioritize time with family, being at home, nesting. Like right now, we've just moved back to our house in L A. So unpacking, packing, putting stuff together, editing out, you know, Malte's closet.

• 7:18Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  She's four, I have stuff in there from when she was two, you know, Nick's stuff. It's just, it's so fun to go into, like, I, my mother-in-law told me this, but, you know, seasonal, to bring out like everything that's seasonal in your pantry and like make sure that the plates are right and you know, just it's, it was never something I would have enjoyed doing even like seven years ago, eight years ago. It's a shift in just my whole being and I'm still coming to terms with it and familiarizing myself with it, but I'm allowing myself the time to kind of be in it. I would have, you know, berated myself earlier, you know, made myself feel guilty for taking

• 8:03Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  a day off.

• 8:04Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 8:05Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Um, I really romanticized not taking time off. So it's a, it's like a complete three sixty, which is I'm, I'm coming to terms with it myself.

• 8:14Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, I can imagine. I mean, it feels like you're the expert of knowing when to shift speed. Because when you think about the way you dominated Bollywood and the success you had there, coming out to Hollywood at peak success, you know, when, when you're already winning and then you go, oh no, I want another gear. So you come over, winning here, and then now, as you're saying, winning here and then going, oh no, now I want a different gear. And it almost feels, would you say it's just time and age or is there something else that allowed you to be at peace, as you said? Because peace is such a, I think we often think when we're young, that pleasure and joy and enjoyment and happiness are the goal. And then as you get older, you realize peace was actually always, it's having time to waste.

• 8:58Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Hmm. What a luxury. Not spend, because it's a currency time, I feel like, with your family, with people you love, or on the job. I love being on set. It's one of my favorite places in the world. But it's when you can just sit and not be answerable to anything. And I take that privilege also very seriously. I know this has not been handed to me. I've worked really hard to be where I am. So I'm allowing myself that time, you know, our daughter started in a new school. I love being able to pick her up from there, hear her stories and like be around and, you know, maybe it's just

• 9:40Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  time, age, space, where I am at the moment. I'm not sure. But I, I think that every other pivot of mine didn't feel

• 9:51Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  like it was something I controlled.

• 9:53Jay Shetty?

  Interesting.

• 9:54Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I felt pushed into it. This is the first time I feel like I'm allowing myself to not push myself so hard and see what happens. I used to always feel like, you know, the sky will fall if I stop working one day.

• 10:08Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 10:09Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And a lot of us are wired that way. I think especially from India and Asia. We have this work ethic, which our parents probably, because they had to, you know, in order to survive and to make it in an ever-changing world in their generation, they, they had to go really hard. So I think our generation grew up thinking that that was the way to be, but I think I've learned to look inwards a little bit and that's okay and allowing myself that. Yeah, but the other pivots, I just did the best I could.

• 10:43Jay Shetty?

  I, but I love that, that agency and that control. And, and you're right, the same, we were just talking about it off camera a second ago, this idea of, I was sharing that, you know, my mom would drop me to school, work during the day, pick me up. Then she'd go back out to work in the evenings and often I'd just go with her and fall asleep by her leg while she was in an appointment or a meeting. And I just got to see how hard my mom worked. And that of course has lots of benefits, as you said, in terms of building discipline, hardworking mentality. And then at the same time, it comes a point where maybe you have to, when you get the privilege or the opportunity to peel back from it, to be able to shift.

• 11:18Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah, and it's such a privilege, like you have to work hard to survive in this life. And people work really, really hard and some people, you know, work in jobs that You know, you might not want or be in, but you have to survive. So I take that that privilege of this, and it's just this year, honestly.

• 11:39Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, it's the first time in your life.

• 11:41Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  First time I'm actually doing it, where I, you don't want to take that moment to kind of indulge in my family. And I think, you know, sometimes hardworking limits your mind itself of finding that balance. And but if you can find that balance, um, that's the dream.

• 12:07Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah. Are you, uh, Nick was here just literally like two, three weeks ago.

• 12:12Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It was the best interview.

• 12:14Jay Shetty?

  Oh, wow.

• 12:15Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It was the best interview.

• 12:16Jay Shetty?

  You didn't have to, you don't have to say that.

• 12:18Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  No, I don't have to say it, but I I had so many people who called me about it and just hearing it, both of you. I mean, it's who you are, but it's also my husband is

• 12:29Jay Shetty?

  He's amazing.

• 12:29Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  just so sincere and honest and it's like disarming. And to see that on camera, uh, it was, it was a wonderful interview.

• 12:40Jay Shetty?

  I was gonna ask you, did you debrief? Do you both talk about when you get back from these?

• 12:45Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Not when we get back, when the clips come out, like, you know, when you get back home, you're like, ah, let's watch a movie, talk about myself all day. Can't do that anymore. So I don't think we got into it. Like, I had no idea about what you guys spoke about. But when the clips come out and I'm seeing it, then, then of course we talk about.

• 13:03Jay Shetty?

  No, my, my favorite thing is to be sitting opposite someone who's that sincere because it just allows for this really genuine dialogue to come out and yeah, no, I'm, I'm, I'm glad that you got a chance to see it. I'm glad that, you know, I got to be with you.

• 13:17Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It's not easy to be that.

• 13:19Jay Shetty?

  No, no, it isn't.

• 13:21Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And especially in our profession, like, I mean, you do it differently. But you know, when it's a public facing profession.

• 13:30Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You get media trained.

• 13:31Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 13:32Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You can't help it.

• 13:33Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 13:34Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Like, when you do it for long enough, you know, how to navigate different questions, how to deflect from what you don't want to answer. And I have an added layer of it because I have a pageant background, so that I can really deflect.

• 13:49Jay Shetty?

  Oh, wow.

• 13:50Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You know, so it it's for me, it has always been really, really tough. Um, to reach that deep part of myself.

• 13:59Jay Shetty?

  Yes.

• 13:59Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  When I'm on camera.

• 14:00Jay Shetty?

  Yes.

• 14:01Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I find it uncomfortable.

• 14:03Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 14:04Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Um, but it was very inspiring to to watch that interview and see Nick do it. I mean, that's the most inspiring thing about my husband for me. And which is why, you know, I give a lot of credit to being married to him to to have been able to find this ease and and comfort as I navigate life. Like, even the the tough things um, are kind of easier to handle because he's with me.

• 14:33Jay Shetty?

  Wow.

• 14:34Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And it's so different than what life was like ten years ago. And so I think that, you know, it's being able to see him do that has helped me also get in touch with my feelings a little bit more and um, articulate them.

• 14:53Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 14:53Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Like, both of those things are mutually exclusive for me, were mutually exclusive for me. But now I feel them and I can talk about it.

• 15:01Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 15:02Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And um, that was a big step.

• 15:04Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, no, I love that. I was, I mean, both of you talk so beautifully about your daughter. And I was wondering, are you the strict one? Are you the chill one? Are you the fun one? Like, as a parent, like, what is, what is your go to? If Nick's the sincere one and the

• 15:16Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 15:17Jay Shetty?

  you know, what's, what's your?

• 15:18Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah, I'm the mom. I have to set down the rules, like.

• 15:22Jay Shetty?

  You're like, I'm doing all the hard work here, like.

• 15:24Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Um, no, we both do that. We both like, the good thing about our parenting and we kind of fell into this beautifully as a rhythm together was we always talk about how we will navigate a situation. Um, and we are always on the same page when it comes to her. So there's never a decision that I will say something and he will say something else, or we're not on the same page about it. And we just kind of naturally fell into that. Um, but yes, I'm usually a little bit more setting down the rules and you have to finish eating and you have to sleep at this time. We have to wake up for school, like, yeah.

• 16:00Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah, one person has to do it. Yeah, yeah, one person has to do it. One person has to do it. Someone has to take the, take the responsibility.

• 16:07Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Take the hit.

• 16:08Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, I lo- I love the, I love what you were saying, though, like, just about being open and honest in conversation and in the public eye and how hard that is. Especially now in a world where we do live in a world full of clips, like where everyone's judging you off what you said in 20 seconds without the context of even the fact. And that's why I think podcasting has been so revolutionary and helpful in that space is someone can actually listen to someone for an hour, two hours and actually make sense of what they're saying rather than, oh, I saw this 30 second clip of a three minute interview on a TV show. And now this is my version of who you are and, or I think you're the character you play in your movies. I don't really know who you are. So I wonder why is it important for you to be yourself fully now on an interview or on a show? Like, why, why are you even trying to do that?

• 16:53Jay Shetty?

  Why is that even meaningful to you? What, what would that provide for you right now?

• 16:58Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I don't know if I can. I'm trying, I'm trying it out with you.

• 17:02Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You're my guinea pig.

• 17:03Jay Shetty?

  I love it. Oh, great. This is the experiment. Amazing. I love it.

• 17:06Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I don't know if I can. I don't know if you'll be able to get past that.

• 17:09Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 17:10Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Um, but no, I think I, it's the opposite. I think I have.

• 17:17Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Come to a place in my life where I'm more in touch with my own feelings.

• 17:21Jay Shetty?

  Yes, okay.

• 17:22Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Hence, being able to be confident enough to talk about real things versus deflect deflecting it into, you know, what I want you to

• 17:31Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 17:32Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Kind of think. And so now I'm like, I'll try it with Jay. Perfect.

• 17:37Jay Shetty?

  Thank you for trusting me.

• 17:38Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Comfortable seat, trustworthy man.

• 17:40Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, I appreciate that. Thank you. That's very kind. No, it's, but it but it's real. It's it's it's such a real thing you're talking about. It's not easy to do that. And I think you're so right about when you're still trying to figure yourself out. And sometimes when you're in the change, it's like everyone wants to know everything about you, but it's like you're so in transition.

• 17:58Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 17:58Jay Shetty?

  That you're like, I have nothing to share. I I feel like that between when I'm writing books. So when I have a book, I have lots to talk about because I've just spent two, three years studying this theme and looking at the science and the research and the wisdom and all this stuff. And then people invite me on interviews in between. I'm like, guys, I've got nothing to say because I'm working on new ideas. I'm I'm building new ideas and I don't want to just say what I said before. I will give you credit, though. I think you're being a little bit hard on yourself because I remember the last time we interviewed you. The way you spoke about your parents and what you've learned from them and just how much impact they've had on you. That not only is extremely genuine, it resonates really strongly. And I know it resonated with our audience. Like that interview we did five years ago has like three million views.

• 18:38Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Wow.

• 18:38Jay Shetty?

  And it's like people got so much from it. So I think you are being a bit hard on yourself. And I just want to let you off the hook a little bit because would you say that's been a trait of yours as well as part of your that that ambition, that drive? Have you had to be hard on yourself through this?

• 18:53Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  My therapist thinks so.

• 18:54Jay Shetty?

  Oh, really? What does your therapist say, Braga? That's what I want to know. What is what is the therapist?

• 19:00Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah, that's apparently a character trait of mine that I'm very hard on myself. I didn't know that. I've recently, like, I'm really turning the lens on myself a little bit in the last few years.

• 19:15Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Where I'm kind of trying to get to know this new me.

• 19:18Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 19:19Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  There are things that I do and say where I'm like, wow, this would not have been my reaction.

• 19:24Jay Shetty?

  Wow.

• 19:24Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Like six years ago, patience, I'm like, I was not patient. I mean, I really, I'm still like, I move very fast. I make quick decisions. I try to be like, I'm always five seconds ahead. When it comes to work, but I, I think having a toddler will teach you patience that it's never in your control.

• 19:48Jay Shetty?

  I think that that's fine. Sometimes I think about it. I'm like, I know that the biggest personal growth I'll ever have is having a kid.

• 19:53Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Absolutely.

• 19:54Jay Shetty?

  There's no, yeah, yeah. You, you, you think, yeah, I'm always like, yeah, you think you've done all the self-work. And then you'll have a child, Jay, and you'll know exactly how far you are.

• 20:03Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  No idea in the directions your personality will change.

• 20:07Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 20:08Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You cannot predict it.

• 20:09Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 20:10Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It depends on who your kid is and who they turn into. And it just, you become metamorphosized into this other person.

• 20:19Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 20:20Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And in every aspect, priorities suddenly change. And everyone had told me that before. But when you're living it, it's, it's, it's really wild.

• 20:32Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 20:32Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So I'm still trying to get to know this new me.

• 20:35Jay Shetty?

  Mm hmm.

• 20:36Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Who's completely different from even the one you probably spoke about five years ago. Like this was, that was before I became a parent and um. So it'll be fun to get to know her.

• 20:46Jay Shetty?

  Yeah. What, what have you discovered so far that's been the most surprising to you or something that you're like, oh, I didn't know that was there? Like, what, what was something that? You came across recently that stood out to you about yourself that you've been finding, discovering, searching?

• 20:58Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I'm much more patient with things when they don't work out.

• 21:03Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 21:04Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I would, like I said, or you said, observed was very hard on myself when something wouldn't work out. Or I would, you know, like just be mad and my approach to like figuring out why it didn't go the way I needed it to go, like the control that I needed to have. Like, I just, I, I feel like it's okay to not have that. And that's a huge change in me because it's affected every aspect of my life. How I interact with human beings, um, how I approach work that I take on. Definitely how I parent, even how I am at home. It's made me self-sufficient. It's made me rely on myself a little bit more.

• 21:45Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It's like created a sense of confidence, which, um, again, this is something that I have preached. I know my mind knows, but I was never able to implement.

• 21:56Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 21:56Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  To myself, which was, you know, when you're holding on to something really, really tight, you know, you're, you're exhausting your muscles.

• 22:04Jay Shetty?

  So.

• 22:04Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It's so tiring. And that's people who like to control things and, you know, like alpha personalities or like, it has to go my way.

• 22:16Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 22:16Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Um, and maybe that was how I achieved what I did and my ambition showed itself in, you know, being a control freak almost, like holding on really tight. Um, but that's something I've really consciously and subconsciously worked on. As soon as I recognized the ease of letting the universe kind of push you in the direction you're meant to go. And then within that, of course, work hard every day to, you know, achieve your goals through the day. But it's okay if once in a while it doesn't turn out to be the way you thought it should be because you might end up with what you need.

• 22:57Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 22:57Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Instead of what you wanted.

• 22:59Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 22:59Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Which is even more important.

• 23:01Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, there's a beautiful Zen teaching that says, letting go is hard, but holding on is harder.

• 23:07Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Definitely.

• 23:08Jay Shetty?

  And it's exactly what you just described, like when you're trying to hold on to this rope and it's tight and the grip.

• 23:13Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It's exhausting.

• 23:14Jay Shetty?

  Exactly. It's exhausting. It's painful. You'll end up with, you know, scars from it. But you, you just pointed out, do you think that it's almost like, it's such a catch 22 because it's like, do you think you'd be this successful if you hadn't had that?

• 23:27Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  No.

• 23:28Jay Shetty?

  Right, so.

• 23:29Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I don't think so. And I've, I, like, I look at my 20-year-old self and I applaud her for.

• 23:37Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Surviving and doing whatever I needed to. Flying all over the world, wanting to achieve everything. Having the personality trait of, of, you know, being someone who just wanted everything. And not be apologetic for it. Like, my younger self was not apologetic for, you know, wanting a piece of everything, wanting a legacy, wanting to leave behind something. And, and I really had to separate myself and like, look at her. And, you know, in fact, when I was writing my memoir, it was a really critical experience for me, which helped me kind of navigate a lot of these things, like,

• 24:22Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  because I was talking to my friends and family and, you know, trying to corroborate my own memories. Because, you know, memories are funny things.

• 24:29Jay Shetty?

  Absolutely.

• 24:30Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  What I might remember, maybe just my perspective and perception is definitely not reality. And I used to believe a hundred percent that perception is reality. What you become is what people believe. And like, as time has gone by, I was just like, man, that girl really had to believe what she had to believe to get to the other side. And that's okay.

• 24:53Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 24:54Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And, you know, I, I see a bravado, which I admire today. I maybe don't have it anymore, you know, I'm a little bit more sensible, a little bit more level headed, maybe.

• 25:06Jay Shetty?

  Still is funny there. Still is funny.

• 25:08Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Still is funny.

• 25:09Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 25:10Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  The comedy is important.

• 25:10Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 25:11Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Um, gets you through stuff. But, you know, like, it's okay. I think I needed to be, and, and as we grow older, I think for all of us, at whatever age in life you're in, but to be able to forgive yourself for how you were

• 25:29Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  when you were young, or, you know, we all hold on to so many burdens of our past. And are so hard on ourselves because of those things. And just, I think focusing on the future and the present is just a way of kind of letting go of that control.

• 25:53Jay Shetty?

  This episode is brought to you by eBay. Music has always been one of my teachers. There was a vinyl record I used to play during a quiet, very formative season of my life. Late nights, no distractions, just me, the music and my thoughts. I'd sit still, let the needle drop and really listen. Not just to the sound, but to what was coming up inside me. That record wasn't background noise, it was intentional. It created space, it helped me slow down in a world that constantly asked me to move faster. Over time, life changed, schedules filled up. The stillness became harder to protect and somewhere along the way, that record disappeared.

• 26:36Jay Shetty?

  I didn't notice right away, but I felt the absence of what it represented. Recently, I realised I wasn't missing the music, I was missing the ritual. The act of pausing, of being present, of listening deeply to myself. So I searched for that same vinyl, same version, the same cover, and I found it on eBay. When it arrived, I didn't play it immediately, I just thought back to that moment. And after that, I couldn't wait to listen. And when I finally did, the music was the same, but I wasn't. I heard it differently, I understood it differently. And that's when it really hit me. The things we keep don't lock us into the past, they meet us where we are now. Objects can evolve us, they can remind us of practices we want to return to,

• 27:20Jay Shetty?

  of values we don't want to lose, of versions of ourselves that still matter. That's what I love about eBay. It's not just about buying things, it's about rediscovering meaning. About one person passing something on and another person finding exactly what they didn't realise they were looking for. eBay is also a place where you can let go of items that are no longer serving you or that you no longer need. You can give items a new life, a new story with someone else. Visit ebay.com to shop your favourite finds. Find what you love, sell what you don't. eBay, things people love.

• 30:18Jay Shetty?

  I feel like so many of us as humans, when we discover a new way of living, we almost disregard

• 30:24Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  shun.

• 30:24Jay Shetty?

  shun exactly the past way of being. And so we're like, oh, now I've figured out life.

• 30:28Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 30:29Jay Shetty?

  Now I'm at peace. And it's almost like, wait a minute, you're forgetting the part that that kid at 20 years old, as yourself you're talking about, needed to have that bravado, that holding on tight, that ambition, that drive to get here. And I love what you're saying, because I think that's really the work that we're all trying to do is accept that all these versions of us were just trying the best with what they know.

• 30:52Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 30:53Jay Shetty?

  And now that we know better, we can do differently and do better. But that it's not a judgment or a shunning of that version of ourselves.

• 31:00Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And as we grow in life, we're gonna keep changing, like evolution is Yeah, hopefully.

• 31:07Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 31:08Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And even if we don't, that's fine. That's your individual journey, you know. And but like Nick's new song, it was so profound to me. Gut punch, because that's what it really talks about is, when did I get so good at being mean to myself? Right? And we all do. And if we you catch yourself on the couple of things which actually helped me. One, is this a constructive thought? It's when I'm going down the rabbit hole of anything. Stress, fear, anxiety, anything. Is it a constructive thought? Will it get me somewhere? And if it's not, it's not meant to be in your head.

• 31:52Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And the second thing which has really helped me is thoughts are not facts. So when you're spiraling about something, or anxious about something, or berating yourself for having done something wrong, you have to kind of come back to the facts, like what are the facts that I know? And then it just takes away the power.

• 32:13Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah, those are tools that have really, I think, helped me in this new phase.

• 32:18Jay Shetty?

  I love those tools.

• 32:18Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Zen phase.

• 32:19Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, I love those tools. Yeah. Especially that second one, because I feel like the mind is not a truth seeker, it's a storyteller.

• 32:25Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Absolutely.

• 32:26Jay Shetty?

  It will make up a story and it will create it and it will

• 32:28Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And we believe it.

• 32:29Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, and we'll plaster it. It's the biggest fake news in the world is is the mind doing its thing. And like, you just start to believe whatever news story it tells you.

• 32:37Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Especially if we don't talk about it, which most of us are trained to not do, right? Like, we've got to be tough. We've got to Like, at least when I was growing up, there was no importance to therapy or constructive conversation, even within family. Yeah. It was like, you're stronger than that. You don't have to feel that way. Like, almost dismissive of actual feelings. And not just by parents, that was just the culture. Culture and society, yeah. Of how it was. And I feel like, um, that's a wonderful thing, that we've come to a place where we can actually talk about our feelings. But, you know, the more you keep it in, the more you're not allowed to talk about how you're feeling, which is totally different than how you should be behaving, or what you

• 33:21Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  should be doing in a situation. Completely different thing. How you're feeling is so crucial to acknowledge. And then it's easier to kind of move on. And, but the initial validation you need is, I am upset about something, and it's okay. Whatever that might stem from, I might be feeling jealous, I might feel like angry that this didn't happen for me, or whatever it was, or, but it's okay to acknowledge that feeling. And I find it really beneficial to talk to, like, my best friend, or my husband, or someone. Um, this is also a Nick Jonas learning, actually. Go on. Oh, man. Go on.

• 34:04Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I just realized, early into our, our marriage, we had, you know, argument that everyone does, when you're just getting to know each other and newly married. And we had an argument, and being the person that I am, you know, I'm the storm in Nick's teacup. That's how we are. Um, or at least we were. I don't know. We're evolving. Okay. But I was like, well, we need to approach it this way, and you know, this is how it'll get better, and solutions, and solutions. And he was like, well, we need to talk about how we're feeling. And those were completely two different things. And I didn't know how to do that. Hmm.

• 34:49Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Or like, the fact that I needed to do that. Hmm. And he was like, let's talk about how I'm feeling, how you're feeling, and then we'll be able to move on to a solution, which was so. Mind blowing to me at that time and profound, honestly. And it just changed the way, the direction of the conversation. It just, it's so healthy to be able to acknowledge, you know, yeah, this made me feel this way.

• 35:15Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 35:16Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And the same honest truth. So then you're like, oh my gosh, if something I said made someone feel a certain way, how do I feel about doing that to a loved one, you know, like

• 35:26Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 35:26Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  If a certain behavior from me or a certain behavior from you just makes me feel not nice, will you keep doing it again?

• 35:33Jay Shetty?

  Mm hmm.

• 35:33Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Knowing that. So it was such a big like learning um for both of us and you know, we've never gone back to the storm in the teacup.

• 35:46Jay Shetty?

  Radhi and I will still, I mean, Radhi and I have been together for thirteen years now. It's our ten year wedding anniversary this year.

• 35:50Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Oh, congrats, you guys, decade.

• 35:52Jay Shetty?

  Super exciting. And at the same time, my point is, of course, we still have stupid arguments all the time. We've just built tools and techniques over the years that have worked for us and everything that's, you know, that everyone's dealing with. What gave you, because I find this to be one of the biggest things, at least for me and Radhi, that I think has been beneficial. What gave you the humility to be able to learn that from Nick, right? Because I think in a lot of relationships, it's kind of like, well, you want to do it that way, but this is the way I do it. So like, you're saying, hey, I want to do a solution.

• 36:23Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I was like that.

• 36:23Jay Shetty?

  Right.

• 36:24Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It happened for a few.

• 36:25Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 36:26Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  A few times and we argued where I was like, this is who I am and like, this is what I know.

• 36:31Jay Shetty?

  And it's worked for me.

• 36:32Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And it has worked for me.

• 36:33Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 36:34Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But I think I heard him. Maybe for the first time and I don't know what, maybe I wasn't hearing him. I was focused so much on what I was feeling that I couldn't listen to what he was feeling. Um, and over time, maybe, you know, my husband is, and I've said this so many times, the most sincere, honest person, and that just disarms you. So when he looks at you with those eyes and says, let's talk about how we're feeling, we're gonna talk about how we're feeling.

• 37:14Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, he has that deep presence.

• 37:16Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  He just like, the room calms down and it just, he just takes you in that, the direction that he wants to. And that's the first thing actually that drew me to Nick when we first met is, he has this quiet confidence, which makes him like a natural leader. You know, you kind of want to listen to him and hear him out and know that, you know, he has thought about things and he's not impulsive and he's decisive. But it's just this quiet confidence. It doesn't need, you know, to be put on display. And that was just beautiful.

• 38:01Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, I mean, that takes a lot from you to notice that as well, because sometimes I think quiet confidence is missed.

• 38:07Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yes.

• 38:07Jay Shetty?

  Because it's quiet, as in it doesn't have that flashy, it doesn't feel like, it doesn't look like leadership in the old way it's been propagated across the world. And then it's easy to miss. So it's, it's also credit to you to be able to, you know, at the time to be able to notice that and see the value of it. I, I felt the value of it when I've been around him and had conversations with him and.

• 38:28Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It's always been something that has, it's been something I have seeked. It's been something that I have always been drawn to. And again, you know, it's different phases, different, you have to be different kinds of confidence. There are times where you need to be a peacock and, or a porcupine. No, it's fine.

• 38:49Jay Shetty?

  That's good. I like, I like that. Yeah.

• 38:51Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You can be either or, but you gotta, you know, show it off a little bit. And then there are times you don't.

• 38:57Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 38:58Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It's really up to us to figure out when, you know, how much you need to turn it up and how much you need to turn it down. But the fact that you can turn it down, that is something like a lot of people don't know.

• 39:10Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 39:11Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And use, you know, confidence doesn't always have to be loud. It doesn't always have to scream. It just arrives.

• 39:20Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 39:20Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And that's the best type.

• 39:22Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, I mean, obviously.

• 39:25Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You have that. You also have that like quiet confidence.

• 39:28Jay Shetty?

  Thank you. That's very sweet. That's very kind of you. Yeah, I I found it really fascinating because when I first came here. And I know I don't like this term, but people would always be like, oh, you do motivational speaking, which I don't consider myself to do. Because I would think about all the motivational speakers that have come before and they're like loud, they're big, they're like. And I'm like, I'm just a little Indian guy, you know, like, I'm like, that's not my, that's not my presence. And I don't, I don't think that that's the only way to be powerful. It's a way. And I, and I love.

• 39:57Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  If you move people, it's powerful.

• 39:59Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah. And and and I love what you're saying, that it can be done quietly. And but it's, I find it fascinating that you are seeking that. Because I think right now, when we think about dating in the modern world, when we think about. Whether it's marriage, any sort of committed, monogamous relationship, I think. What women and men are looking for, sometimes we're all so confused. Because there's so many versions of what confidence, strength, attractiveness looks like.

• 40:21Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And what could be right for you.

• 40:23Jay Shetty?

  Correct, and what's right for you, but you knew that was right for you. Because there was something that was guiding you to that. Was that intuition? Was it?

• 40:31Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It happened so quick.

• 40:32Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 40:33Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Like, it was so quick. And I wondered for the first, like, year, I was like, what was it? Because I'm not one to jump in full commitment.

• 40:47Jay Shetty?

  It was like six months, right?

• 40:49Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Six months since we first met, we not first met, like, went out on our first date, we were married.

• 40:56Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Like, we were engaged in like two months or something.

• 40:59Jay Shetty?

  It's amazing.

• 41:00Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It was so quick, but there was no part of me that could say no. I was so. Um, drawn and compelled by him. And I think that was the one of those things was his natural leadership. And that comes from his quiet confidence. Like, he would just hold my hand and I felt the need to follow him. I'm the, I'm usually the person that shows people the way. You know, so it was just very attractive to me to be with someone that is so decisive and um, is not afraid to show it.

• 41:37Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 41:37Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And doesn't need to scream off the rooftops, like what Nick says, he can say it to you on this microphone. He could say at home, he's just like, that's who he is. Um, and that was very new to me and disarming and charming at the same time.

• 41:55Jay Shetty?

  I love the way you both speak about each other. Like, this is so special. I'm like, I'm literally gonna, gonna get the two clips of you both talking about each other and put them next to each, because it, no, it's wonderful. It's, it's so wonderful because it's real. It's not easy. Like I said, it requires a lot of humility, even as what you just said, I, I'm used to being the leader. I'm used to showing the way, but actually I'm really happy to let someone else lead sometimes.

• 42:18Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yes, that's what every girl wants, is to be with a man competent enough that you will trust them to guide you in the right place. Because usually, you know, women are really good at figuring out and, and navigating through problems. But um, like Nick has this innate wisdom that I trust and that I've always trusted. His honesty, I have like trusted, and I think that was one of the first things that I was like, yes, you will be great for life.

• 42:54Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  That's, that's it.

• 42:56Jay Shetty?

  That's amazing. That's so good. And I loved, I saw your, um, congrats on the variety cover. It was amazing.

• 43:01Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Oh, thank you.

• 43:02Jay Shetty?

  And I, and I read, I read the piece before, as I was preparing for this, and I just loved how you said in the article, you were like, I just, because when I hear you both, when I've spent time with you both, I've been to your house, you know, spent, spent time with you over the, the years at different events. You see that love, you see the way you communicate, you see it even when I'm speaking to you both here, there's so much genuineness. And then naturally you talked about in the variety cover with the, you know, the, the negativity that naturally comes with having a relationship in the public eye. And I love that you said, you're like, I just don't think about it anymore because we've been together for eight years. It's like, you know, this stuff doesn't matter almost anymore. How hard was it to get to that point to be able to be like, you know what? Now I'm, you know, we've always been good. We're fine, but how long did it take for you to feel I'm not even letting that get to me anymore?

• 43:47Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I mean, it's hard. I still like will read a comment here or there and I'm like, why? Like, what did I do to you?

• 43:53Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 43:55Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Why? Why be so mean? Like, I don't even know you. I've never met you. You've seen like some aspects of my life and decided I might be this horrible person or we're not right to like, why? So it's still sometimes in weak moments will get me, like so many other things, like mean things do. But in general, I think I'm just in a place where I want to focus on the good in my life. And I feel really blessed to have the good that I do. It's not been an easy journey and to be in a place where, you know, you come out of a storm and the sun is shining and

• 44:38Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  you just kind of like take that moment and I feel like I'm in that moment right now.

• 44:44Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, we like me and Radhi don't obviously have nearly the amount of eyeballs that you guys have on us. But we went through this really interesting period where we'd been together every day during the pandemic. And as soon as the pandemic was over, Radhi was so excited to go back home and see her family as so many people were. And so Radhi was spending a lot of time in London after the pandemic because she just missed her family. She missed her parents and I did too, but I have work here. I have my team here. I I've set up a life here and I go back and forth, but not as often as she likes to. And it was really fascinating because I get a call from my publicist one day. She was, Jay, I just got a call from this major publication and they've just been reading on the dark web. I was like, what is the dark web?

• 45:26Jay Shetty?

  They're like, I've been reading on the dark web that people are thinking that you and Radhi are about to, you know, break up and like you're not together anymore. And that the pictures that you're posting are old and all this stuff. And I was like, we're in a really good place. Like, we're totally happy. Actually, the pandemic was amazing for us because we spent every day together and fell more in love with each other, which was such a blessing to have that. And then I, we've always had this communication, me and Radhi, where London is such an important part of our identity, our family, our niece and nephew. And so we've always tried to live this LA London life as much as we can.

• 45:58Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Not easy.

• 45:59Jay Shetty?

  It's not easy at all.

• 45:59Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It's a tough flight.

• 46:00Jay Shetty?

  Yeah. And so Radhi will go back a lot more often. I'll run in and out whenever I can. And and it was just fascinating to me that like that was even being talked about. And and she was like, yeah, there's loads of people just wondering whether you guys are still together, still in love, whatever. And and it was just such a and I remember having the conversation with Radhi and laughing at it, obviously, because we know what we're doing. But I was like, wow, like, where do where do people even invent this stuff? And then how does it go from we're living in different countries during a certain period of time with with context? But you take that to be, we don't love each other anymore, don't want to be together. And I was like, wow, like. And and like I said, it's nowhere near compared to the eyeballs that you and Nick have on you. So it's just such a fascinating. And I struggled with that and Radhi struggled with it, where she got to the point where she was like, you know what?

• 46:43Jay Shetty?

  I don't want to talk about our relationship publicly anymore. Like, that's where she got to. She was like, I just don't want to talk about it because I don't like all these opinions and I don't, you know, it it really affected her.

• 46:52Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I I have a couple of thoughts on how I kind of navigated it.

• 46:57Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 46:58Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  One is we're living in a time, in a period where we get to see and read the opinions that people have of us, right? Like before social media, back in the day, you think the aunties weren't talking in the kitchen?

• 47:14Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Everyone was talking.

• 47:14Jay Shetty?

  They were definitely, that's brilliant.

• 47:16Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Everyone was talking about everything. We just didn't hear about it.

• 47:19Jay Shetty?

  Absolutely.

• 47:19Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So nothing's really changed.

• 47:23Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 47:23Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It's just how much information we are.

• 47:26Jay Shetty?

  Smart.

• 47:27Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Absorbing. So take that power away, that this is all the same people that would have talked about you guys even forty years ago, if you were in the position that you're in. That's kind of the gig when you become a public person. People will have an opinion on you. So protect your sanity by understanding that this is this comes with the job, it comes with the territory, right? So that's one. Of course, it can still affect you and, you know, um hurt because it comes across your timeline and you're like, why? Like, what's the need of it? The second thing that I really strongly believe it's no one's business, honestly. And that's okay. Like.

• 48:14Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You share as much as you need to and what feels right. And even within our families, right? Like if you're going for especially Indian families, everyone's in your business. Everyone wants to know all the things.

• 48:26Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 48:26Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But even there, I believe that if it's not your business, I don't need to tell you.

• 48:30Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 48:31Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And so protect, protecting ourselves from the cacophony of opinions is really important. And that's just by like, you've got to do the self-talk.

• 48:43Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 48:43Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And be like, do I want to react to this? Is this a constructive thought? Like just you've got to kind of nip it. Yeah, you've got to nip it in the bud and be like, that's not something I need to waste my time on.

• 48:54Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, I think me and Radhi made a pact early where even with the family piece, it was like, we solve our problems together.

• 49:00Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 49:01Jay Shetty?

  If we need to communicate with either of our parents, you communicate with your parents, I communicate with mine because that's the open line of communication that has been there for decades.

• 49:09Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Be honest and it'll be, you know, it'll be real.

• 49:13Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 49:13Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Whatever your version of that is, is I think like just the public scrutiny. Um, and it's for everyone now, like there are comments on everyone's socials, right? Like not just people who are in the public eye.

• 49:26Jay Shetty?

  Totally, yeah.

• 49:27Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Content creators, if anyone who's out there.

• 49:29Jay Shetty?

  Yes.

• 49:30Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You have comments, so it's not just a problem of public people anymore. That's just the nature of the world we're living in.

• 49:37Jay Shetty?

  Correct.

• 49:37Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So for everyone who gets mean comments on your comments or on your Instagram or TikTok or whatever, like really recognizing, and maybe young people don't even remember this, but like people always talked.

• 49:53Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 49:54Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  There's a Hindi song, logon ka kam hai kehna. Yes. Kuchh toh kehenge, logon ka kam hai kehna.

• 50:00Jay Shetty?

  Yes.

• 50:01Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Which means people have to say something, so they're constantly going to say something.

• 50:04Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 50:05Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And that's just human beings. So like just a pinch of salt sometimes is important.

• 50:10Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 50:10Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  While reading that stuff.

• 50:11Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, well said, good advice. I was thinking, I want to shift gears because I know we can talk about Nick the whole, the whole podcast, so we'll get back.

• 50:17Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Did we?

• 50:18Jay Shetty?

  We'll get back.

• 50:18Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Oh my god.

• 50:19Jay Shetty?

  No, no, no, we'll get back. He did, he did the same, so it's fine. Uh, we'll get, we'll get back to Nick and I want to talk about family as well, but I want to shift gears to something you said earlier. You said to me that. Actually, this is the first time where you're actually using agency to be in the choice of what speed you're moving at. And before, there was almost this pivot that felt pushed on you, or just felt like the way you had to go. And I was reading online about a, um, there was a director in Bollywood, he was saying that Priyanka was treated badly. She was like, she was treated badly in Bollywood, we pushed her out, was, was his language. And, and I was like, I don't know how that feels when, when you're at the top, when you've won,

• 51:00Jay Shetty?

  like, you're one of the most iconic people we've ever had in the industry in Bollywood, without a doubt, like, celebrated, done every major movie, worked with, you know, every major director, every major person in, in the industry. To me, it looked like a win, but that's what, I mean, people are almost coming out and confessing and feeling like, no, we treated her badly, we pushed her out. How, how do you feel about that when you hear that?

• 51:23Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I have like conflicting thoughts with all of that, because I feel like surviving in the movie industry is tough for everyone. It's, it's not an easy place. Um, it's political, it's networky, it's, um, you know, moment driven. If it's the moment, you're the man of the moment, or the woman of the moment, and then the moment's gone, it's somebody else's moment. So it's fleeting. So I am pragmatic enough to recognize that. I feel like everybody has their struggles because of their choices. I did feel like I was in a place where I felt, um, cornered, where work was limited. And in order to survive,

• 52:08Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  emotionally, mentally, physically, um, I just needed to move. And that's always been my answer. I'm not someone who stays stagnant. I need movement to solve my problems. Um, and this time it just happened to be across continents, you know?

• 52:25Jay Shetty?

  The hardest thing to do, yeah.

• 52:26Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Completely move, like, completely.

• 52:28Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, completely, yeah.

• 52:29Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But, um, I was talking to you about the universe, right? So I was in this place where I was doing, I was doing good work, but I kind of didn't see myself, um, Like I told you, I look five seconds ahead of me. I'm like always thinking ahead is my nature. So I just didn't see longevity the way I wanted it in um in my situation at that time. And I'm honest about who I am. So, you know, I was never afraid of living my truth. But that's what it ended up being. I felt cornered and um Anjula, who's our common friend, who's for people who don't know, now my manager.

• 53:12Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But at that time, she ran Desi Hits, which was um a joint venture with Interscope Records, which, you know, shone the light on um Indian artists and South Asian artists and brought them over to America. And she saw an old movie of mine at her mom's house. It was called Bluff Master. Yeah. And she was like working with Jimmy Iovine at that time. They had just done the pussycat dolls version of um Jai Ho. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there was like that um, you know, just cross pollination, I like to use that word, of cultures within music that was happening. And she reached out to me. You know, I heard you can sing.

• 53:56Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I mean, that's, I can carry a tune with a little bit of help. But um not like I used to enjoy it. I used to go into the studio, sing with my friends. You know how in Bollywood movies, we have um music as a, you know, we have a soundtrack to every movie. And that's usually recorded with um, you know, with um music producers. And so I used to go in for those sessions just because I loved seeing how music was made. And so sometimes I would take the mic and just sing or whatever. So I had a few songs out there floating around. And um, I don't know, she got her hands on them and she was like, you know, let's make you a pop star.

• 54:37Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And because I was feeling, it was like a, the universe kind of just timed itself together. I was feeling very limited in my work in Hindi movies. I was feeling kind of like I don't have a direction to go on. And this was like an olive branch. And I, I'm, I don't get starstruck, but musicians like get me.

• 55:06Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Being able to be on that stage and command with a live microphone so many people is incredible to me. So I was just blown away by, you know, being flown to London and then from there, being signed to Universal, from there coming to LA and, you know, being in the studio with Will I Am and Pitbull and just Chainsmokers and work with Red One. And, you know, I met the most incredible people during this two-year pop star era of mine. A such a welcome change. It was a breath of fresh air. And this is behind the lens, like what I was

• 55:50Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  feeling. I was feeling like I was drowning and I was suddenly pulled out. Wow. And I could breathe. And I didn't know if this would stick or not, but I was just breathing. And I was breathing in excellent company. I was making music that I didn't know how to make. But, um, you know, there was faith in something in me. And I have to give credit to both Anjula and Jimmy Iovine for seeing something that I didn't see. I was honestly just breathing at that point and really happy to be given an opportunity to work with some of these incredible

• 56:32Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  artists that I had admired for so long. I mean, I spent my 30th birthday with Bono. How many people can say that? Like, it was just so cool to be in that rarefied air of just artists who make music with a guitar and, you know, songs that come into their mind. And I was just inspired and feeling a sense of being alive creatively and emotionally. I lost my dad within that phase as well, which was a really big hit for me. So it was a tough, like, period of five, six years, a lot of change, a lot of full stops, you know, a lot of leaving.

• 57:16Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Feelings and things behind and trying to come out on the other side of it. And I was alone because I had moved countries. That was extra layer of tough. I didn't really have a lot of friends. I have a lot of family in America, but everyone's really busy with their lives. So between, I was bi-coastal between L A and New York. And, you know, hotel rooms get lonely. And so I moved into an apartment and, you know, I, after the music phase was over, I kind of was like, after four songs out there, I was like, I don't know if this is, you know, I'm as good as I would like to.

• 57:58Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And then Jimmy suggested that I find representation in acting. And I did. And that's how it started. You know, I got Quantico, which was after a bunch of auditions, which was also one of my first auditions in like years.

• 58:15Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 58:15Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Terrifying in itself, the whole process. Cause when I was working in Bollywood, I'd reached a point where, you know, people knew my work. I didn't, you know, I'd get direct offers. I just, you know, the whole, it's so crazy that as actors we do this and, you know, rejection is such a large part of, part of it too. But that first time when I walked into that audition hall and there were all of these girls on a chair and I realized they were all here for the same part. It was a crazy feeling and.

• 58:53Jay Shetty?

  And does everyone like look similar? Is that the goal or like, or was that different because you're doing it here?

• 59:00Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It was different for that show because there were, it was written for an American girl. That show, which I clearly wasn't, but I'm an actor. And I was like, yeah, I can study an accent and I can, I went to school here. I'm not unfamiliar with the States.

• 59:18Jay Shetty?

  Of course.

• 59:18Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So I, you know, worked on, on being American because she was an FBI agent and, you know. So I, I worked a lot on that. I worked with acting coaches. I really wanted to see if I was built for.

• 59:34Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  America.

• 59:35Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 59:35Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Like, uh, cause it takes dif- different gears, almost.

• 59:39Jay Shetty?

  Mm-hmm.

• 59:39Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  For anyone who's familiar with, you know, Bollywood and Holly- it's just the industries are, it's different.

• 59:46Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 59:46Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So, the first few times for me, I, I spent like about six months in L A. I was also finishing a movie back in India at that time called Bajiramashtani.

• 59:56Jay Shetty?

  Mm-hmm.

• 59:56Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So I was flying back and forth a lot. And, um, I just was like, do, I, do I have what it takes first and foremost to do that? And which meant kind of erasing my accomplishments up until now, when I walked into a room. And I was, it took me a little bit of talking to myself to do that. I was like, okay, what are my choices? My choices are to do limited parts and see what that'll turn out to be like. To do music, which I kind of thought I was mediocre in.

• 1:00:33Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Or to try and work in a completely new industry, which, um, you know, you have to start all the way.

• 1:00:42Jay Shetty?

  All the way to the bottom again.

• 1:00:43Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  At the bottom again. And that's all right, cause the edge that I had is I was not new.

• 1:00:51Jay Shetty?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:00:52Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So I knew my job.

• 1:00:53Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:00:54Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I knew what it's like to be on a big budget movie. I knew what it likes, what it's like to be the lead of a part, like.

• 1:01:01Jay Shetty?

  To hold the attention on screen.

• 1:01:02Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Or to even stand on your mark, say the lines, know where the lights, know what, like, I know the profession, I know my craft. So that's the edge that I had.

• 1:01:10Jay Shetty?

  Of course, yeah.

• 1:01:11Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Over, you know, um, like someone newer who was coming into that space. And I think that's what really helped me is I focused on my craft. I focused on the job. I took away the noise of, you know, well, you've done like fifty movies in India, or you've been the cover of this magazine. Why should you like that thing that we do to ourselves, which is, you know, you can get in your own way?

• 1:01:34Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:01:35Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I choose to, I chose to get out of my way.

• 1:01:37Jay Shetty?

  Wow.

• 1:01:38Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And I don't know which part of my survival.

• 1:01:44Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Helped me do that. I I really don't know. It was a really dark period in my life. You know, moving here, being alone, losing my dad, losing like friendships and, you know, my family, my mom was not here, nobody. Belonging. Belonging in a rented apartment, not sure if I should live in New York or live in Mumbai, living out of suitcases for a cup, like for many years. Um, it was just tough. And I don't know, I just, I was like, I need to get out of my way. I need something to give. I need something to work. And it was many, many years of

• 1:02:25Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  trying to figure out what'll stick, where I just like put my head down and I was like, just do the work. I worked on my scenes. I went in for the audition. I got the job. I continued working on, because that didn't mean that the show gets picked up if you just did the pilot. Um, I continued working on like other things, you know, looking at movies, working with acting coaches, just learning scenes, learning how to speak in the English language, not speak, but delivering dialogues in the English language. I, my brain was tuned to improv, improvising in Hindi. Yeah.

• 1:03:04Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I can do that because I'd done so much work in the Hindi language. So it was a pivot of my brain as well to be able to read sides in English and deliver those lines. So I worked with a lot of acting coaches, so amazingly talented people, both in New York and L A to kind of be able to get more comfortable with that. And um, yeah, I just decided to focus on the work and slowly picked up and, you know, it took a lot of like smaller parts, figuring out, you know, where I land to now, you know, producing the movies that I work in. So it was a long journey.

• 1:03:46Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Emotionally traumatic in many ways personally for me. But I'm happy to be on the other side of it.

• 1:03:55Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, absolutely. I mean, when you described that period of your life as drowning.

• 1:03:59Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:00Jay Shetty?

  And transitioning away from the industry and then finding air even in the newness of music and how that comes in, I mean, that. And then adding on all the context you just gave us of how hard that time was, whether it's personally with your father, whether it's professionally with new work, new industry.

• 1:04:19Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Just not knowing anyone.

• 1:04:20Jay Shetty?

  Just not knowing anyone, the loneliness that comes with it. I mean, it sounds like you said in your own words, it's a really dark time.

• 1:04:26Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It's it was tough.

• 1:04:28Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:28Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It felt really dark, but I think the fact that I could pull myself out of it with the help of, you know, some amazing people that came into my life, like Ange, like Jimmy, like Dana,

• 1:04:45Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  my team in India, Natasha, like, these are people that like really held me together. At that time when I didn't have friends and family around me and, you know, we've all worked together now for fifteen to twenty years. But, you know, I was very lucky to have had picked people around me that didn't let me feel the weight and the gravity of what it felt like to me, because it may not have been the reality.

• 1:05:10Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:11Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But it felt like that to me. And now, you know, I acknowledge feelings. So this is me, this is me acknowledging what I felt those twelve, fourteen years ago, whenever my, what are we in twenty twenty six? This was two thousand and ten, fifteen, sixteen years ago.

• 1:05:28Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:28Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But I felt like that.

• 1:05:30Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, well, it's, I, I think it's fascinating that we, we don't necessarily give people the credit they deserve when they're here with us and living on the planet. And, you know, that, that is, it's a really.

• 1:05:41Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I always think about that so much.

• 1:05:42Jay Shetty?

  It's such an interesting human trait.

• 1:05:44Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I always think about that so much. And, you know, I actually started thinking about it after my dad, honestly, because it was such a personal loss for me. And I, there were so many people that came out for, we called it, called it his celebration ceremony, but it's actually the Chautau, which happens on the fourth day after. You lose someone in Hinduism. And so you give the family like four days to mourn and the fourth day, you know, everyone else can start coming in to give their wishes. And there were so many people that celebrated my father and spoke so highly of him and

• 1:06:26Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  and I was like, why didn't you say that to him when he was here? He would have loved to hear that. And I have started actually making a practice in my life of reaching out to people just if I think of them or if I see good work or, you know, someone's on my mind and I haven't been in touch with them for many, many years. I'll just send a text saying, hey, I'm thinking of you. I appreciate you. And it's usually like takes people, they're like, what you texted me after 10 years. I feel like it heals me every time I think of, you know, seeing someone's achievement or

• 1:07:06Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  because I would have wanted that, I would want that for me and I would want that for, I think everybody deserves to hear if, that you're appreciated or that you mean something to someone or you've done something that moved somebody.

• 1:07:21Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:21Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Um, and we should try and do that while people are on this planet. And it just takes a text or a thought. The more you start doing it, it's a butterfly effect of just niceness.

• 1:07:35Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah. And I love that you spoke about your father because this isn't about doing it for people just in the public eye. It's just the idea of life, like this is not.

• 1:07:42Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Not at all in the public eye.

• 1:07:43Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, this is not a public eye thing.

• 1:07:44Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I'm talking about like, nobody needs to know this. It's between you and that person.

• 1:07:48Jay Shetty?

  Yes, correct. Yeah, exactly.

• 1:07:49Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  This is not on Instagram.

• 1:07:50Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, that's why I love what you said about your dad.

• 1:07:52Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It's just, it's a text.

• 1:07:53Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, it's just people need to know while they're here, while they're living, while they're breathing, how you feel about them and for people to be celebrated and honored while they're here with us because yeah, you see it all the time. Someone passes away and all of a sudden there's a eruption of love and joy, but it's like they weren't experiencing that while they were alive and what a loss. What a loss, not only for them, but for us to even have the opportunity to express that gratitude or notice that about them or observe that.

• 1:08:21Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It's such a privilege to be able to express to someone what you feel for them. As a world, as a society, we don't encourage our young or our. Ourselves enough to be able to be honest when you feel something for someone. Just appreciating people. I didn't know that at all when I was younger. Which again, I guess as you evolve in life. But in my twenties, I was like, my attitude literally was everyone is doing their job. So, you know, I'm doing my job. I'm not appreciate, I'm not expecting appreciation. So why should anybody else expect appreciation? It was so tough.

• 1:09:02Jay Shetty?

  Yeah. That's that hard, hard on yourself.

• 1:09:06Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I, I guess I, I was allowing myself to not have the expectation of appreciation because I never got it.

• 1:09:15Jay Shetty?

  Yes.

• 1:09:15Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So I think it came, my attitude came from protecting myself. Now I understand this. At that time, like even a few years back, I was like that. I would just, I was like, I don't expect you to say I did an amazing job. Or if my scene is right, I'm not expecting the director to be like clap for me. So why do I have to do that for people? It was like such a tough like attitude. Um, but I understood why, because you know, I would not get appreciation. I was navigating this insane new industry and I didn't wanna have to seek it. So I built this wall where I was like, nobody needs it, but you do.

• 1:09:56Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Everyone does. And you know, now I've understood that it's just, I don't know where, what that learning was, but I think just appreciating people is just nice. It's just nice.

But it can be challenging to balance style, budget and endless options. I was looking to create a dedicated calm space for my morning meditation and reading, but I was struggling to find pieces that felt grounding but could also stand up to daily use. I went on Wayfair and found a beautiful, solid wood accent chair and a bookshelf.

• 1:12:36Jay Shetty?

  I think we all go through that phase where you're really blocking something because you're right, we don't want to want validation. No one wants to want it.

• 1:12:45Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But you do.

• 1:12:46Jay Shetty?

  But we all kind of like it.

• 1:12:46Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 1:12:47Jay Shetty?

  And then, and then you're fighting against that feeling of why do I want it? I shouldn't want it and therefore no one else should want it.

• 1:12:53Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 1:12:53Jay Shetty?

  But really deep down, we all need it because I was saying to someone today, like we were talking about the need for usefulness. Like everyone wants to feel useful.

• 1:13:01Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:01Jay Shetty?

  We think people want to feel important or significant or celebrated. And it's like, most of us, like good humans are not narcissists or living in it. We just want to feel useful. And it's when you don't feel useful to someone that you feel valueless and helpless and.

• 1:13:16Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Like, did I add something?

• 1:13:18Jay Shetty?

  Exactly. All we want to do is.

• 1:13:19Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Bring something to the table.

• 1:13:21Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:21Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And without having to ask for it.

• 1:13:24Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:24Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You know, you don't want to have to ask, like, do I bring value?

• 1:13:28Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:28Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You know, um, and especially when you're starting out in any job. You're like, if you're told even once that you bring value, it just, it makes you want to do better work, you know? And I think that why I did that to myself was because I didn't know if I would get it. And I didn't want to put myself in a position where I had the expectations and then I was let down.

• 1:13:51Jay Shetty?

  Of course.

• 1:13:51Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So I just normalized the fact that nobody needs appreciation.

• 1:13:55Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:55Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I don't need it. You don't need it.

• 1:13:56Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah, we repeat what we reward.

• 1:14:00Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:01Jay Shetty?

  So if we reward the feeling of, oh, I don't want it. I don't need it. We're going to repeat that. If we, if we reward someone for putting in effort and doing good work, that person will repeat it because that's what inspires all of us. I, I really appreciate you going there on, on that theme of just how hard that transition was because I think from the outside, you make it look easy.

• 1:14:20Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But not, like I said, no one's business.

• 1:14:22Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, no one's business.

• 1:14:23Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Like, it's hard for me to talk about personal struggles because there's just so much hardship in the world. Like, I feel really, like even what was hard for me, it's not as hard as what everybody, like, there's so many people going through so much worse. So there is a part of myself that still is hard on myself.

• 1:14:48Jay Shetty?

  Because it's not hard enough.

• 1:14:50Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:50Jay Shetty?

  Your life is not hard enough.

• 1:14:52Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You're like, don't, you shouldn't be feeling that way. Don't be silly like. But, you know, like, everyone has struggles in their lives and it's tough to talk about it because you're like, like, what was so hard about that?

• 1:15:06Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:15:06Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Just personally, it was.

• 1:15:08Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah, not in context or comparison to anyone else. It's acknowledging how you feel. I mean, that seemed like a big transition for you. And when Nick was on the show, he spoke so vulnerably and openly about the birth of your daughter, which was traumatic to say the least and of course amazing. But in that moment, just how heavy it was and difficult it was just for both of you. And going through that process, I wanted to ask you if you were comfortable sharing from your heart and your words, what that experience was like for you.

• 1:15:38Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  The whole thing was tough because our journey to Malte itself was really rough. I don't want to get into details because I'm not, I don't know if I'm ready to talk about it. But it was very hard on me. And she's a miracle baby because she was my like only hope at that time to be able to have a baby. So when we were told that she's coming like at twenty seven weeks, I just shut down.

• 1:16:17Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I remember I sat in front of a fireplace in our house for, I think, like nine hours or something. And for someone who's always so solution oriented, I didn't have a thought in my brain. And Nick was somewhere and he came back and we just, he grabbed me. We loaded the car and our dogs and we drove. It was COVID time and just the situation under which she was born was so much duress for everyone involved. And it was just really intense.

• 1:17:02Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  She was purple.

• 1:17:07Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And like, we didn't know.

• 1:17:12Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Uh.

• 1:17:15Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  The NICU nurses couldn't, like,

• 1:17:22Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  their little finger was too big for her mouth. How they intubated her

• 1:17:30Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  um was, like, I still see that image.

• 1:17:38Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And thankfully, everything was fine with our surrogate.

• 1:17:43Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So we could focus our energy. And just, I was just numb. I, I just remember, I didn't know what to do or how to be useful in that moment. We went with her to the NICU. One of us was allowed at a time. And she cried the first time. And it was like a cat, like, just a just like that's all we got. My mom flew down, my in-laws flew down. But we were in the hospital. And it was such a personally traumatic time. But somehow, because we were in and out of the hospital, I remember it leaked.

• 1:18:28Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And we got a text saying that it's gonna, her birth is gonna be put out by the papers. Um, and I don't wanna give credence to who sent us that um message or which network it was. But um, that if we don't, like, they're gonna put it out in three hours. So we were kind of forced into announcing her birth, which, because we wanted to hold on to our own narrative of, of it. But we weren't ready because we didn't know what would happen with her or how she would be. Um, it was three months, almost a hundred and ten days. We stopped everything. We were in the hospital every day.

• 1:19:13Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  With her, we did shifts so that she could be on our skin. Um, the nurses said from day two of life that we should be doing skin to skin. So Nick would sing to her on his guitar. I used to have this little iPod, which played all my mantras, my Mahamrityunjaya mantra, my Gayatri mantra, my Om Namah Shivaya. Like all of it would play all day in, like inside her crib just softly. There were a lot of people praying for her. She was very, very desired, very coveted and treasured because she was so hard.

• 1:19:54Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It was so hard, her journey um to get to this planet. And she had like six blood transfusions. You know, I used to feel like she looked just like Nick and I as a combination. But everyone says that she looked like him. But even in those days, like as soon as we would be switching out, like she would recognize our voices and smile, like just her eyes weren't open, but she would have a little like slight smile. And if you ever meet our daughter, she has the most glorious smile on the planet, like full face laugh.

• 1:20:32Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So it was a brutal time, but I think I talk to myself when I'm in tough situations. Once I got out of the stunned nature of it, I realized how afraid she must have been. So I didn't have the privilege of being upset or afraid. I had to show up as her mom and I had to be tough through it. I had to smile for her. I had to equip myself to take care of a preemie baby and make sure she's the healthiest that she can be. And that's just what my. My focus turned into.

• 1:21:14Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And I was like, it is not about me or him. And this happened like immediately as soon as that she was on my chest for the first time at almost twenty seven and a half weeks or like two or three days after. And she was so tiny that her fingers felt like butterflies on me. She was just like this little one pound eleven ounces. In that moment, I was like, I will go to the ends of the earth to protect you. It's a feeling I have never felt before. And I think every first time parent says that. But it's like your heart is beating outside of your body.

• 1:21:56Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And especially with her, because she was so vulnerable. I became a tigress about everything. From her nutrition to, you know, her medication, to her transfusions, to Nick and I. As a team, we didn't have to talk to each other. It was just done. We used to look at one another and, you know, we'd have the diaper bag. We'd have like tomorrow, we have to tomorrow's her bath day. We'd have the bath, like all the little things. Make sure that, you know, she has this much of milk.

• 1:22:35Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And is she just every little thing about her to make sure she gets to that weight and just survives was the only order of business. Everything else took a backseat. And the day we brought her home, she was still so tiny. And I have a big mandir in our house with a big Shivji's Muhrati. Who I really am a big Shiv Bhakti, I really believe that, you know, Bhule Baba has guided me through every difficult moment in my life. And I've like sat on his shoulders. And we just as a family sat in front of his vision and.

• 1:23:18Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I think that's the first time I really wept. She was still so tiny, but I just, I wept for the grace that she survived. The gratitude that she was home, that she chose us, that we could make this happen where, you know, she could be in this world and have this thriving life. Um, IVF is tough and everything that contributed to her being on this earth, I was just so grateful for and just relieved. And after that, we had, um, you know, a big heaven for her when she came home

• 1:24:02Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  and her naming ceremony and, and then it just became real, you know?

• 1:24:13Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 1:24:13Jay Shetty?

  Gosh, I think anyone who hears that, just, you know, so sorry you had to go through that and sorry that the family had to go through it together as well and.

• 1:24:25Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I used to, I was thinking about it, you know? Cause I saw on your podcast when Nick talked about it and um, I knew we would talk about it also. But um, I was kind of thinking about, like, why? I've started thinking a lot about the whys in my life. Like, how, how did I navigate that? Because when you're doing it, you just do it, right? You just take your choices. You're not really thinking about the why. But in retrospect, I like to kind of unpick at that a little bit. And I was unpicking at it and I guess my choice to have kids at a later stage contributed to this being a really tough journey for me.

• 1:25:09Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 1:25:10Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But if I would have done it earlier, would it have been the wrong time?

• 1:25:14Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 1:25:16Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It wouldn't have been her. So.

• 1:25:19Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 1:25:20Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I have to, I kind of made my peace with the fact that this journey came from making the right choice for me. And for my biggest flex, honestly, I feel is I'm living this life with the right guy, with the right father for.

• 1:25:44Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  This incredible baby that we have. And that was meant to be. And the journey was meant to be. I feel really blessed to be on the other side of it, like I said, but it couldn't have been any other way.

• 1:26:01Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:26:02Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So you have to kind of forgive yourself.

• 1:26:05Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, I feel like that overthinking brain.

• 1:26:07Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 1:26:08Jay Shetty?

  Of, well, if I did it at this time, if I could have done it like this.

• 1:26:11Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  She wouldn't have had to deal with.

• 1:26:12Jay Shetty?

  To deal with it, yeah.

• 1:26:13Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  What she went through, but.

• 1:26:15Jay Shetty?

  And you're like, oh, it would be a different soul.

• 1:26:16Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It would completely be a different.

• 1:26:17Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:26:18Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Person.

• 1:26:19Jay Shetty?

  And it would have been a different.

• 1:26:20Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Circumstances.

• 1:26:20Jay Shetty?

  Different circumstances, yeah.

• 1:26:21Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Different, like, I don't know what that would have been like. I can't speak to that, whether it would be good, whether it would be bad. It just wouldn't be this.

• 1:26:28Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:26:29Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And this is great. So, you know, I can't speak for the parallel lanes of.

• 1:26:36Jay Shetty?

  Of course, yeah, but that's what the brain does.

• 1:26:38Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Multi-universe.

• 1:26:38Jay Shetty?

  That's what the mind does.

• 1:26:39Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Of our life.

• 1:26:40Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, that's what the mind, the sliding doors.

• 1:26:42Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Bring back to the present and the gratitude of, you know, our little family and being able to be together.

• 1:26:51Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah, the mind plays all those games of.

• 1:26:53Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 1:26:54Jay Shetty?

  The sliding doors and if this, then that and should have, could have, would have and and it's fascinating. I love how much faith in your life is such a.

• 1:27:03Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 1:27:03Jay Shetty?

  Central pillar of a stronghold of how you, you know, come back to that. And I know that's been there since day one, right, with your family and.

• 1:27:12Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  First of all, I think when you grow up in India, it's kind of ingrained in whatever religion you might grow up in. Faith is a big part of Indian spirituality. And, you know, we are a country of multiple religions.

• 1:27:27Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So I was very influenced by just faith in general. The multicultural nature of my family as well. My grandmother's Catholic, you know. My Masai is Muslim. My, we were grown up, raised as Hindus, but I went to like a Catholic school. Like it was just a lot of influences. And to me, faith is basically a relationship with something larger than yourself. And religion is your path to get there. And it's unique to everyone and every journey.

• 1:28:06Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But I've had a really, really strong faith in my life since I was a kid. Both my parents did, especially um with Lord Shiva.

• 1:28:15Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 1:28:16Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And you know, we've been Shiv bhaks from when we were kids. And that's a big pillar of my faith. And um it's really gotten me through really scary times and tough times. Like, I kind of just like close my eyes and go into a little box. Where I'm just talking to my God, like I'm just talking to Bhulababa. And I'm like, I say my prayer and I'm saying, you'll get me through it. And it's like, I feel safe.

• 1:28:47Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 1:28:48Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  In the box, it's almost like I'm held and somehow I come through it.

• 1:28:52Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 1:28:52Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And that's what it is, right? Like faith should feel like a hug, like a safe place. And my faith has always felt like that to me.

• 1:29:03Jay Shetty?

  Hmm. Thank you for sharing that. It's uh it's as as hard as it is to hear and also to hear how hard it was for all of you. It's inspiring and hope giving, I think, to so many to to just hear about how you all came together. How that hope and that fight and that persistence and the shifts that you both did for, you know, the months that you both switched for and probably not even seeing each other much. And the changeover because you're trying to give time and and the way you both describe her as the miracle baby. It's such a, you know.

• 1:29:34Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 1:29:35Jay Shetty?

  Such a beautiful.

• 1:29:36Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Her soul was meant to be here.

• 1:29:38Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:29:38Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And she clawed her way into life.

• 1:29:41Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:29:42Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And I will celebrate that every day. And so will Nick. Like, we celebrate her every day. She literally said that yesterday to me. She's like, Mama, my birthday just doesn't end. And I was like, it doesn't.

• 1:29:55Jay Shetty?

  That's amazing.

• 1:29:56Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  We celebrate you every day.

• 1:29:58Jay Shetty?

  That's amazing.

• 1:29:58Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Because somebody came in and got her a present and her birthday is in January.

• 1:30:01Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:30:02Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So she was like, this just doesn't end. And I was like, and it won't.

• 1:30:05Jay Shetty?

  That's so cute.

• 1:30:06Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Every day.

• 1:30:07Jay Shetty?

  I love that. I love that. Well, Brianka, we've reached out to um I reached out to Nick um to share a letter for you. That I could share with you. So I'm gonna read it to you.

• 1:30:21Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Did he do this on the day you did the podcast?

• 1:30:23Jay Shetty?

  No, no, no, no, no, in between.

• 1:30:25Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Oh.

• 1:30:25Jay Shetty?

  In between, not on the day. So I'm gonna read it to you from Nick. So this is from Nick to Brianka. So he said, he says, my John, which I love. I like just seeing him write that is beautiful. Wow. This is the first time I'm reading it too. So I've not read it. I always save it because I'm not, I don't like reading it before it comes. So I've never read it.

• 1:30:43Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  My gosh, I'm embarrassed.

• 1:30:44Jay Shetty?

  He goes, my John, I'm constantly in awe of the person you are. It's not just the big titles, global icon, leader, force of nature. It's how you show up as a mother, a daughter, a sister, and my wife. The focus and thoughtfulness you bring to every single day is something I try to live up to. Everyone sees the public side of you, but it's who you are in the quiet moments that really floors me. You have this incredible patience and a way of listening that makes people feel completely safe. I've seen people who usually keep their guards way up, just let it go all around you, finding a kind of healing they didn't know they needed. One of my favorite qualities about you is

• 1:31:24Jay Shetty?

  that you truly never judge. You just meet people where they're at and always find the good in people. That's a rare thing. You're a leader in every sense. In these last eight years, I've watched you take on challenges that would have broken most people. Whether it's on a set or navigating the massive life change of moving countries and blending two very different worlds, you do it with a fire that honestly lights me up. You've stayed so true to your roots while adapting with a kindness that seems to never run out. I'm so incredibly proud of you. I know your dad is looking down with that same pride, seeing the woman you continue to be. As you talk with Jay today, and he better have those tissues ready, just know that multi Marie and I are right there with you. You're the

• 1:32:09Jay Shetty?

  center of our universe. Building this life with you is the greatest honor I have. Knowing we're a team gives me a sense of peace I can't even describe. No matter what life throws at us, I know we can handle it together. I love you endlessly. Nick Jonas.

• 1:32:24Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  That's crazy, man. Where are those tissues?

• 1:32:26Jay Shetty?

  They're next year.

• 1:32:27Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  The said, promised.

• 1:32:28Jay Shetty?

  I know. I can't believe Nick. I know, I'm like, Nick, come on.

• 1:32:33Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Knows his wife, knows what'll get me.

• 1:32:38Jay Shetty?

  That's beautiful. I love your love. Long may it flourish and continue and thrive. And I'm so glad that Malti Marie has both of your love as well. And I hope that continues as well. You've been so kind. I hope that was a, I know he says it to you every day probably anyway, but.

• 1:32:57Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  He is one to say it.

• 1:32:58Jay Shetty?

  He is one to say it.

• 1:33:00Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Not one to not say it. And I think he promised me that very early in our engagement, actually. He said, when he asked my mom for my hand in marriage, which he did before he even asked me. What a gentleman. But he said, I promised your mom that I'll always keep you happy. And that's gonna be my quest is your happiness. And I'll always tell you how loved you are. And you can say that, like, when you just get married.

• 1:33:33Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, of course.

• 1:33:34Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But to keep up with it.

• 1:33:35Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:33:36Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And to make sure he tells me. In little things, I was just, I told you, I was, I'm purging my house at the moment because we've just moved back to LA, right? I'm like switching it out for what's right for us now. So I have this memory drawer in which I keep cards. I love the cards that people write me. I love a handwritten note. So I was pulling out all my cards and they're all mixed up. And all of these letters that Nick has written to me over the years. And I put them all together and I was just reading them. And right from the beginning, he just always told me. And, you know, it's the simplest thing, but tell your loved ones you love them.

• 1:34:21Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It makes such a big difference.

• 1:34:24Jay Shetty?

  Absolutely. Such an important reminder.

• 1:34:26Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 1:34:26Jay Shetty?

  Especially if you can write that well as well.

• 1:34:29Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Marry a musician.

• 1:34:30Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, exactly, exactly.

  Priyanka, we now end, you didn't do this last time, we end every episode with these two fun games that we created. One's called Would You Rather, and the other one's Gut Reaction.

• 1:36:31Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Okay.

• 1:36:32Jay Shetty?

  So Would You Rather is first up. So, Priyanka Chopra, this is your Would You Rather. Would you rather play the hero or the villain for the rest of your career? In movies, obviously.

• 1:36:41Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah, thank God.

• 1:36:42Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:36:43Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I mean, I do love playing a bad guy. But it would get boring for the rest of your life. Cause I don't know how creative I could get.

• 1:36:51Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:36:52Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  With how many bad guys, but I'll say the villain.

• 1:36:54Jay Shetty?

  The villain. Yeah, the bluff.

• 1:36:57Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Okay.

• 1:36:57Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, we're gonna get to see you.

• 1:36:59Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Well, I'm not a villain in the.

• 1:37:00Jay Shetty?

  No, you're not, but we get to see you do a lot of crazy action scenes.

• 1:37:05Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah, you know, it's so, this movie, which um I've done a lot of work with Amazon Prime. And this is another one of our collaborations, but this movie is at such a pivotal point in my life. Because my character um is a former pirate who was known as Bloody Mary.

• 1:37:25Jay Shetty?

  Mm hmm.

• 1:37:25Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Self titled, you can tell why. Um, she was tough and gruesome and based off of um like Grace O'Malley from Ireland. And many other female pirates that did exist at that time, whose lives were just insane. Like if you read the books, it's like, I can't imagine being a female and a pirate at that time. But um why this movie really resonated with me is something I said earlier to in the podcast. Which is how far would you go to protect your family?

• 1:37:54Jay Shetty?

  Mm hmm.

• 1:37:55Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  How far would you go to protect your children? And this is the story of a mother and a woman who says, you're not coming for my family.

• 1:38:04Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 1:38:05Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  One of the most amazing lines in this movie, which I really deeply resonated with is, you come to my home, you threaten my family, and then I kill him. And I say, where is my husband? Where is my husband? Every wife, when they're playing golf, isn't it?

• 1:38:24Jay Shetty?

  I love, I love that. That's so good.

• 1:38:27Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But um, you know, I really, it's, it's, that's what I love about this movie. It's really fun. It's like a bloody gory.

• 1:38:35Jay Shetty?

  The action scenes are insane.

• 1:38:36Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah, it's like, I love doing that. It's gory. It's got drama. It's beautifully shot. Um, based in the Caribbean.

• 1:38:43Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:38:44Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  What more could you ask? Our director was humongously talented, um Frankie Flowers.

• 1:38:49Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, it's beautifully shot.

• 1:38:50Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  What would you do? How far would you go?

• 1:38:53Jay Shetty?

  And you've lived through that in your own version of that, so.

• 1:38:56Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And I will continue to.

• 1:38:57Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:38:57Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Like, I'll go to the ends of the earth to protect my family.

• 1:39:00Jay Shetty?

  I saw that in your eye when you said that. I was like, wow, do not mess your eye.

• 1:39:04Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Don't come for my family.

• 1:39:05Jay Shetty?

  And your eyes are like, Jay, do not. And I'm like, Prager, I'm like, trying to be family. I'm like, this is like, you know, this is, uh, that was, I saw that in your eye. You're like, you're like fully locked in there. And I was like, okay, I'm scared now. All right. Would you rather have to wear your Miss World crown to every major Hollywood premiere for the next year, or have to introduce yourself as Miss World 2000 in every room you enter?

• 1:39:29Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Oh, neither. Oh, no, that's the worst. Um, one should be a Miss World choice and the other one shouldn't be.

• 1:39:38Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Neither. I, I'm very proud of that achievement for my 18-year-old self at that time, but it's not something I would care to do again.

• 1:39:46Jay Shetty?

  Okay. Uh, would you rather accidentally send a flirty voice note meant for Nick to your entire production group chat, or accidentally read one of your own romantic texts out loud, thinking it was part of the script during a table read?

• 1:39:59Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Well, I wouldn't do that. But, um, I may have even done this. Like, I am notoriously known for sending the wrong messages to the wrong people.

• 1:40:09Jay Shetty?

  Okay, got it.

• 1:40:10Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So, um, I think it would be funny.

• 1:40:14Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I think it'd be hilarious.

• 1:40:15Jay Shetty?

  Yeah. All right. This one, this one applies to the bluff as well. Would you rather film a brutal stunt sequence in one take, absolutely nail it, but get injured and never be allowed to do your own stunts again? Or play it safe, let a stump double take over, and always wonder if you could have done it yourself?

• 1:40:31Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I have done enough work with incredible stunt teams to know when I can and when I can't.

• 1:40:38Jay Shetty?

  Wow.

• 1:40:39Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I'm very, very safe and practical.

• 1:40:41Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:40:42Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I'm not a hero when it comes to set. I don't need to prove a point. I'm a professional. I go to set, I see what I have to do. The bluff especially. In fact, there's a lot of one-take scenes and a lot of injuries that I did get in this movie. But because it's a dramatic performance of a You know stunt movie, it really required my face in everything. It required me to convey the emotion of what I was feeling while I was in the stunt scenes. So I did a lot of it myself. I was trained by an incredible stunt team. My stunt coordinator and double, Anisha Gibbs, worked with me very, very closely. In fact, we shot a whole year. The first three months was Heads of State.

• 1:41:25Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  While I was filming Heads of State, I was training for the bluff.

• 1:41:28Jay Shetty?

  That was great.

• 1:41:28Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Thank you.

• 1:41:29Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, so much fun.

• 1:41:30Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It was so fun.

• 1:41:30Jay Shetty?

  It was so much fun.

• 1:41:31Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So in between shots, we would train the sword fighting sequences on set. So Idris and John would be like, we don't use swords in this movie. But we would be training for the next one. Right after I finished that in France, I flew to Australia ten days, seven days in, and started filming The Bluff, which was for three months. So it was just so intense and you were right in.

• 1:41:56Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Training happened while filming.

• 1:41:57Jay Shetty?

  Wow.

• 1:41:58Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Learning choreography happened while filming. So I would get like a few hours off after finishing a scene and I would go learn my choreo or in between shots. So it was just like very alive and creative and, but I'm very safe. Like I learned very early in my career that the person doing the stunt, you have to walk your path. Even if your stunt double has checked it for you, you walk your path. You see if there's, you know, a nail coming out from somewhere. If you could get injured, if, you know, where you're falling doesn't have like a protrusion, like you have to be really practical in order to be able to pull off stunts and stuff like that. You can't be a hero.

• 1:42:37Jay Shetty?

  I like, I like the pragmatism and the practicality, very useful.

• 1:42:40Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Can't be a hero.

• 1:42:41Jay Shetty?

  Great answer. All right, one last one of Would You Rather and then we've got reaction. So would you rather perform, I think I know the answer to this one because I saw you already do this and it was amazing. Would you rather perform one full Jonas Brothers song on stage by yourself?

• 1:42:53Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  What?

• 1:42:54Jay Shetty?

  In front of a sold out stadium? Or open a Jonas Brothers show with a five minute stand up monologue about your relationship?

• 1:43:00Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I'll do the monologue.

• 1:43:01Jay Shetty?

  You did so good on the roast. The roast is so good. That is hands down still one of my favorite clips of you.

• 1:43:06Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Can I tell you a secret?

• 1:43:07Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, please.

• 1:43:09Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Nick wrote my roast.

• 1:43:10Jay Shetty?

  No, did he actually? No, don't tell us that. Don't ruin it. It was so good.

• 1:43:15Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But I'm not ruining it. That's our partnership.

• 1:43:17Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, that's your partnership. But your delivery was brilliant.

• 1:43:19Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Thank you. I mean, he didn't write all of it. He wrote, he brought in a lot of amazing contributions.

• 1:43:25Jay Shetty?

  Wow.

• 1:43:25Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Um.

• 1:43:26Jay Shetty?

  He's a good.

• 1:43:27Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  To an original script.

• 1:43:28Jay Shetty?

  Writer of comedy too. What can't this guy do?

• 1:43:30Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  He knows his wife. Like, he wanted to set me up for success. He was like, you need to lean into this joke. You need to say that. And I was like, no, I don't want to address that. He was like, say.

• 1:43:38Jay Shetty?

  So good.

• 1:43:39Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  The Instagram thing was all Nick.

• 1:43:41Jay Shetty?

  It was such a good joke.

• 1:43:42Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You have the most Instagram followers of all three of us combined. And I was like, I'm not saying that on your.

• 1:43:47Jay Shetty?

  That was so good, though.

• 1:43:48Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And he was like, you have to say it. Um, so you know, he, he like, he was like. And yeah, that's our partnership where, you know, we want to set each other up for success.

• 1:43:58Jay Shetty?

  I love that. What a beautiful.

• 1:44:00Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Such a beautiful moment for me where he just like came up with his own roast.

• 1:44:04Jay Shetty?

  That's awesome. They were great jokes. They landed so well.

• 1:44:08Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Thank you.

• 1:44:09Jay Shetty?

  Gut reaction to your instinctual response, because you did the final five with us last time. So we made this up for you. The thing I pretend I'm chill about, but I'm not is.

• 1:44:21Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Most things.

• 1:44:24Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I literally come across as the most chill and most confident, but inside, I'm, I'm like a duck.

• 1:44:32Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Under the water, but up front, you don't see anything. So I'm stressed about most things.

• 1:44:37Jay Shetty?

  The most unhinged thought I've had this week was.

• 1:44:43Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It's not unhinged, but it's an honest thought.

• 1:44:46Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:44:47Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Just came up actually in your library.

• 1:44:49Jay Shetty?

  Oh, go on, go on.

• 1:44:50Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So when we first moved into our house, I was filming a lot and, you know, we had people who were doing the interiors. Um, and helping us with the interiors of our homes. When I, I have a library, which is my pride and joy. And, um, so I walked into the library and the books were color coded. And I was like, what are you doing? Whose library is color coded?

• 1:45:13Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Library was color coded. I was like, Jay, do you read your books? Or are they just pretty?

• 1:45:19Jay Shetty?

  That's so good. That's so good.

• 1:45:21Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Do you actually read them?

• 1:45:22Jay Shetty?

  I love it. I'm glad. Thank you for being honest. This is good. I like it. I like it. That's good. Well, I have two. You will see the one in the house when we go there later today. So that's my bookshop. That's my proud and joy.

• 1:45:32Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 1:45:32Jay Shetty?

  It's all mixed and messed up and everything.

• 1:45:34Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  See, that's like the.

• 1:45:35Jay Shetty?

  And this was like during Zoom days of pandemic. So it was like, everything's ordered. Yeah, exactly. You can tell. Uh, great answer. Great answer. The most humbling mom moment I've recently had was.

• 1:45:48Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So being a working mom is tough. I saw my mom being a working mom. I and her mom. So I know it's doable. Whenever me or my husband leave, either one of us are with Maltese. If I'm traveling, he's with her. Or we have the grandparents, uh, my in-laws who are beautiful and gracious. While I'm doing this press tour, they're with our daughter.

• 1:46:10Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Or my mom. But, uh, I was packing up and I was leaving for a film shoot. I'm working on an Indian movie called Varanasi in Hyderabad.

• 1:46:19Jay Shetty?

  Yeah. Congrats. So excited for this.

• 1:46:20Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Thank you.

• 1:46:21Jay Shetty?

  This is huge. I just want to point out for everyone who doesn't know, it's like, there's a gentleman who made RRR, Rajamouli.

• 1:46:27Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  SS Rajamouli.

• 1:46:27Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, who's making, uh, Varanasi. And so it's amazing. It's congratulations.

• 1:46:33Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Great part and incredible movie and great partners in the movie. So I've had to fly back and forth from Hyderabad like every month because I come back to Malte.

• 1:46:43Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah, I literally, my airline status has gone up because of this one movie. But I was leaving and I was packing up and before I leave for a trip, we talk about it. And we have this invisible string, which is in her heart and my heart. And you know, we talk about the fact that mom has gone for like 12 sleeps or 15 sleeps. And, um, so we were having that chat. And whenever she has real feelings, she talks to her babies because she is a mama. Um, and she has little dollies, which are her babies. And, um, so when I was leaving, she was looking at her baby and she says, I'm such a good mama. I don't leave you and go to work.

• 1:47:24Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  She was three and a half that time.

• 1:47:25Jay Shetty?

  Gosh, that's heartbreaking.

• 1:47:27Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So what was the question again?

• 1:47:31Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah, that was my child.

• 1:47:32Jay Shetty?

  That is the most humbling moment. Wow.

• 1:47:34Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I was like, my toes curled. I was almost about to cancel my flight.

• 1:47:39Jay Shetty?

  Oh my god.

• 1:47:40Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I was so stressed out. And then she laughed and smiled at me. She knew it was a joke. You know, she jumped on me and I was like, don't say that. And she was like, no, mama, no. Like, she doesn't like getting me or Nick or any of us like upset. She's very sensitive to that. Um, so, but I was like, I was thinking about it the whole flight to Hyderabad. I was like, oh my gosh, first child to humble you.

• 1:48:05Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, that is, that is painful. That's heartbreaking. That's not even humbling. That's just heartbreaking.

• 1:48:10Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So tough.

• 1:48:11Jay Shetty?

  I know. If I ever have a little girl, I'm gonna be wrapped around her finger. That's gonna be so.

• 1:48:15Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It's over.

• 1:48:15Jay Shetty?

  It's so hard.

• 1:48:16Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Cause they have that little voice and those eyes. It's just over.

• 1:48:20Jay Shetty?

  That's crazy. That's crazy. How does it feel to be going back to India to do a movie again after so many years?

• 1:48:26Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  If there was any film to be done, it would have been this. Like, this is the best way of going back into Indian films. I missed it so much. I missed, you know, dancing. I missed the chaos on set. I missed the creativity. And um, with SS Rajamolisar, he's so, his mind is, and his vision is so far beyond

• 1:48:54Jay Shetty?

  Hmm.

• 1:48:55Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  limited imagination that um, just to be able to see what he's thinking and, and kind of be the vessel to tell that story is great. My part is amazing. I have like a beautiful graph of ups and downs in the movie. Um, my co-actors are great. You know, it's awesome to be able to work with actors who like know their stuff, arrive, you know, on time. Like are great to be around, are fun. And, you know, it's it's been a really, really gratifying journey so far. It's long.

• 1:49:32Jay Shetty?

  Mm hmm.

• 1:49:32Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  He takes a long time to make movies. It's almost been fourteen months, but, you know, it's gonna be really special. And the journey of it has also been special. In fact, I took Malte to Hyderabad once and she went to the farm and she saw like, um, they have this beautiful farm outside of Hyderabad, which, you know, so his wife, his family, they like run themselves. And it was so much fun. You know, she met like calves and saw paddy fields and like ran around and it was beautiful.

• 1:50:03Jay Shetty?

  I love it. I'm so excited for you for the bluff, for Maranasi, for your family. It's uh, congratulations on it all. And thank you today for just, you know, sharing it as it is and what's going on behind the scenes.

• 1:50:16Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  What all did I say?

• 1:50:17Jay Shetty?

  What's what's happening? You know, what's what's really going on? You can tell me offline if we, you know, got there.

• 1:50:22Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I don't know. I don't like, that's the thing about you.

• 1:50:25Jay Shetty?

  You just black out.

• 1:50:26Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yes, one, when I'm doing an interview, I try not to think about it. But you also like have this amazing innate quality of being able to like, get people to talk about tough things without.

• 1:50:38Jay Shetty?

  Very sweet.

• 1:50:39Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Feeling judged or without feeling critiqued. I don't know what'll happen when these clips come out. But while we're on this couch, it's real good.

• 1:50:49Jay Shetty?

  Oh, gosh, well, no, I my my only intention is just that, you know, that that people get to talk about the things they don't get to talk about anywhere else. And and people get to really understand what's going on when we think we know everything. I think we live in a world right now where we we think we know what everyone's going through. We think we know what everyone believes.

• 1:51:05Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yeah.

• 1:51:06Jay Shetty?

  And and it's nice to have an opportunity to create space. And I think it's not just creating space for each other, but hopefully this ripples out into people creating space in their families and their friends and amongst each other.

• 1:51:17Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Giving each other. Benefit of the doubt.

• 1:51:20Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, some grace in space.

• 1:51:21Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Some goodness, believing in people's goodness. I used to think, actually, Nick writes this in his letter, but I used to think that was like one of my worst qualities because I I I'm the worst judge of people. I always see people for the good in them. Like, I don't understand, like, why would you have a bad agenda?

• 1:51:44Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, right, right.

• 1:51:45Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Like, why would you not be?

• 1:51:47Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, Rady's like that too, yeah.

• 1:51:49Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  It doesn't make sense in my brain. Like, why would you say something to me that you don't mean?

• 1:51:53Jay Shetty?

  Mm hmm, mm hmm.

• 1:51:54Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  That's so convoluted and exhausting to think about, like. But there are people like that in the world. And as I've navigated, you know, many different countries, you have to, and I'm raising a daughter. Like, I want to be able to equip her to protect herself. And sometimes that kind of transparency or just, you know, oh, my gosh, what you're saying is probably what I'm getting is not the right thing because, you know, there are tricky people in the world.

• 1:52:22Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:52:22Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But um, it's just tough on me. I've just never been able to navigate that very well.

• 1:52:29Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, that's a good quality as well.

• 1:52:31Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Is it, though? It's a little too trusting.

• 1:52:33Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, it's it's, I mean, I guess, a- as long as you have good boundaries when you discover something, I think that's the part.

• 1:52:38Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:52:39Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, it's the repair.

• 1:52:39Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But the problem is the discovery.

• 1:52:40Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, the discovery could be terrible. It depends on how.

• 1:52:42Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Or you never discover it.

• 1:52:43Jay Shetty?

  Or you never discover it.

• 1:52:44Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Because some people are really good at maintaining, you know.

• 1:52:47Jay Shetty?

  Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

• 1:52:49Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Like two-faced nature or whatever. Yes, my husband's great.

• 1:52:53Jay Shetty?

  Good judge of character.

• 1:52:54Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Oh, my god, he's the best judge of character.

• 1:52:56Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:52:56Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I don't know why he says that about me. I I like, can't tell.

• 1:53:01Jay Shetty?

  I love it.

• 1:53:01Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I'll tell after you show me your cards. Like, after someone does something, I'm like, that's sus.

• 1:53:06Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:53:07Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But I cannot tell without that.

• 1:53:10Jay Shetty?

  Well, you're a great part, great team, great partnership. Uh, Branca, it's been a joy, truly. It's been such a joy talking to you again. I'm so glad to have you back on after five years.

• 1:53:19Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I know, I'm glad to be in the studio.

• 1:53:20Jay Shetty?

  Please do not wait five years. Please do not wait five years to come back. I hope you come back sooner.

• 1:53:23Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Yes, for sure.

• 1:53:24Jay Shetty?

  Uh, and congratulations.

• 1:53:25Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  I'm glad to be here, actually, in the studio instead of doing it virtually.

• 1:53:28Jay Shetty?

  Absolutely. You're the best. Congratulations.

• 1:53:30Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You too. Oh, you're doing production now.

• 1:53:33Jay Shetty?

  Yes.

• 1:53:33Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Coming to my side of the business.

• 1:53:35Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, we just announced, yeah, yeah. It's so exciting. Having so much fun with it.

• 1:53:38Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Are you?

• 1:53:39Jay Shetty?

  It's like, you know, when when you grew up where I grew up in London, I would never have believed in a million years that I'd. Ever have the opportunity to do something like this, especially what I thought I'd be when I grew up. And so the fact that I even have the opportunity is such a blessing and such a fortune. So very excited about the projects we're working on.

• 1:53:57Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  So proud of you. I tell everyone navigating just your career.

• 1:54:05Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  And maybe I'm saying this out of experience, but we are living in an incredible time where you can actually think of the most insane idea and monetize it. For everyone. This is not just like for me as an actor. In fact, it's limiting for me as an actor. But like you can, you know, go beyond the medium that you've been given. Like you could be a content creator, you could become a producer, you could write yourself a story. And, you know, fund it. You could be enterprising. I tell every person who's navigating this ever-changing world of, of any, you know, any business that you might be in with AI, with, there's so much change.

• 1:54:50Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Like be enterprising, be an entrepreneur for yourself. Learn to sell yourself and your strengths and understand that, you know, the end goal might look really large, like, you know, you're working with Netflix and you're producing TV shows. Like that's insane if you tell your 10-year-old self.

• 1:55:10Jay Shetty?

  Totally, yeah. Even my 20-year-old self.

• 1:55:12Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Or even your 20-year-old self, but you're enterprising and you know your strengths and, and that's just good business. And to be able to be excited about the opportunity is very humble of you, but I would like to applaud the fact that you've been able to build that road for yourself and you've been enterprising for yourself and, you know, built yourself into such a strong business. And that's just what I really encourage everyone to think like that for yourself. You know, and dreams just, we're at a time where it's kind of magical.

• 1:55:45Jay Shetty?

  Absolutely. Well, it's, it's people like yourself and even the story you shared today about pivots. That may not even be the endpoint. It may not even be the direction.

• 1:55:54Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Part of the journey.

• 1:55:54Jay Shetty?

  People like yourself. I think it's really inspiring when you're at the top of your game. You can pivot, try something, go, no, this isn't me and then move again and win. And it's like that, I think. Watching people do that, people like yourself, I think have set such a great example for everyone to not. And everyone around you will tell you the opposite, by the way. Like, when I wanted to start doing this, everyone was like, hey, like, you know your lane. Like, just do your thing, like, know your lane. And I was just like, well, what is my lane? Like, I didn't know this existed ten years ago.

• 1:56:24Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  But that's the worst.

• 1:56:24Jay Shetty?

  It's the worst advice, yeah.

• 1:56:26Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Never stay in your lane.

• 1:56:27Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:56:27Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  That's like, the worst advice, because everyone is running so hard to find a lane.

• 1:56:34Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:56:34Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Like, when you have something that's unique, which you do, about yourself, you can pivot that into anything. Creativity is not limited to like, a book. If you're a writer, you could write a screenplay.

• 1:56:44Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, totally.

• 1:56:45Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You could write a script.

• 1:56:46Jay Shetty?

  Yeah.

• 1:56:46Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  You could turn that writing and problem-solving skillset into production. You could turn production into direct, like, it could. I, I'm just talking about my field, because I just know my field. But, you know, even being able to pivot and navigate within the industry or the medium that you know is, is really cool.

• 1:57:07Jay Shetty?

  Absolutely.

• 1:57:08Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  To open your mind up for that, never, ever actually stay in your lane.

• 1:57:12Jay Shetty?

  Yeah, well, you've, you've set the standard and you've paved the way and shown a great example, so.

• 1:57:17Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  Thank you.

• 1:57:18Jay Shetty?

  Uh, happy to get your mentorship and guidance and, and all the steer and insights you have for me, for sure.

• 1:57:25Priyanka Chopra Jonas?

  We are afraid to let a person go, and we need to be okay with letting people go. We don't know what path people are walking on when they walk into our lives. We might just be a stepping stone in their path, just like stepping stones in their life.
