Priyanka Chopra revealed she spent Palm Sunday with her husband, singer Nick Jonas, and her mother-in-law Denise. Palm Sunday falls on the Sunday before Easter. The actor took to Instagram Stories to post a picture of the Ludo game they played on the holiday.
In the picture, a wooden Ludo board rested on a bed of palm leaves. A table plant could be seen in one corner of the frame. Sharing the picture, Priyanka wrote, “Palm Sunday and ludo! #culturalmashup.” She tagged Mama Jonas, Nick, and Kevin Jonas in her post.
Priyanka has been stationed in London since the start of the year. The actor had travelled to the United Kingdom to film her movie Text For You, and stayed back for another upcoming project, Citadel. Priyanka stars opposite Game of Thrones alum Richard Madden in the series, executive produced by Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo.
Earlier this month, photos from the sets of the show surfaced online, and gave a glimpse of the actors performing some stunts. Richard sported a green uniform with modern armour, belt, and gloves while Priyanka sported a black and white uniform. She had her hair tied in braids and was swinging from the harness.
In an interview with Indian Express, the Russo Brothers praised the actor. “She’s an incredible star. I mean I think she has been amazing. We just had a table read of the show a couple of days ago and it was fantastic. We are so proud of that show. We are excited for audiences to see it. We are just beginning production on it now.”

5 fitness lessons you need to learn from Priyanka Chopra | Vogue India
Priyanka Chopra’s approach to working out is as real as it gets—the actor doesn’t love sweating it out at the gym, but does it to keep herself healthy, fit and agile. As she tries different workouts to find one she really likes (swimming and skipping are her current favourites), here’s what you can learn from her fitness routines now.
The actor has always had a lukewarm approach to working out, preferring to get in when she really needs to, like before an important shoot or for a particular role. “Honestly, I work out only when I need to. My body responds very quickly to exercise, so I don’t need too long to tone up and get into shape,” she told Vogue India. “I want to hit the gym but I work 15-hour days and I’m exhausted by the end of it,” she confirmed. “I have to stay super active and agile because I do my own stunts. I do all my fights myself. I trust my body and my instincts,” she confirmed in an interview too.
When she does workout, Chopra does it to stay balanced and healthy. “The idea is to keep fit and healthy and not shrink myself by two or three sizes,” she shared about her exercise routine, which mostly involves yoga or resistance training . “I find that trend amongst celebrities disturbing, since a lot of kids and teenagers strive to attain our kind of figures, but without proper guidance,” she shared, confirming that she doesn’t want to perpetuate a specific kind of body type through her social media and communications.
For Chopra, her usual gym regimen involves cardio and resistance training (squats are a common addition to her repertoire). But she likes swimming too. “I also love swimming, it’s a full-body workout and I’ll try to do 10 laps continuously,” she shared in an interview. Swimming builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness , making it a low-impact but high-intensity practice.

Here’s what Priyanka Chopra Jonas has to say about Parineeti Chopra’s film Saina | Filmfare.com
Today Amole Gupte’s Saina hits the big screens. Parineeti Chopra plays Saina Nehawal in this biopic and the actress has put her heart and soul into it. Knowing that the film is released amidst the pandemic and with only 50% theatre occupancy, the actress is going all out on social media to promote it.
Last night the actress shared a tweet where she posted early reviews of Saina and posted it saying ‘Please support us tomorrow, #Saina.’ The actress wants to make sure that viewers go and check out the film in theatres and experience the movie like before on the big screen. The tweet soon got a reply from her cousin Priyanka Chopra Jonas. PeeCee soon quote-tweeted it saying, “Super proud @ParineetiChopra cannot wait to watch!!”
Now that’s really sweet of Priyanka Chopra to support her sister on social media and encourage her for her Friday. This Chopra girls’ mutual admiration on social media always wins our hearts and even their pet names. While Priyanka calls Parineeti Tisha, the latter calls PeeCee – Mimi Di.
Tisha… so proud of your drive, hard work and for pushing yourself as an artist. Lots of love and luck for #Saina #Hattrick @ParineetiChopra pic.twitter.com/wlu51idsSQ

She will be next seen in Animal opposite Ranbir Kapoor.
Holi 2021: From Nick Jonas-Priyanka Chopra’s bash to Shah Rukh Khan’s fun rave, a look at pics,
The rise of Covid-19 cases in Mumbai has led to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) banning Holi parties in the city. The prohibition will affect several Holi parties in the city. Over the past few years, Bollywood has celebrated the festival of colours in the biggest way possible.
Who can forget Nick Jonas’ first Holi party in the country? Or the fact that even singer Pharrell Williams couldn’t escape the festive spirit. While we might not get star-studded Holi party pictures this year, here’s a look at a few memorable Holi parties featuring Bollywood stars.
…
The singer, who is married to the Bollywood star, was seen playing Holi twice last year. He attended Isha Ambani’s Holi party a few days ahead of the festival with his wife and enjoyed the festival with other Bollywood stars, including Katrina Kaif, Vicky Kaushal, and Rajkummar Rao. He and Priyanka celebrated Holi again in Pune with their friends and family.
My first Holi! (Five days early) So much fun celebrating with such incredible people here in my second home in India. #holi pic.twitter.com/3psf0CKj3D
In 2018, Ranveer hosted a star-studded Holi party with the spotlight on Pharrell. It was the singer’s first Holi party. The actor’s party was attended by VJ Anusha, Masterchef Australia alumna Sara Todd, Mini Mathur, and Ananya Panday, among others. Photos from the party flooded social media at the time.
Veteran actors such as Amitabh Bachchan, Nargis, Rajendra Kumar, Prem Nath and Nirupa Roy would be among the attendees of the parties. Last year, Amitabh shared a few of his memorable moments from the Holi parties he attended at RK Studios.
A video from one such party featured Shah Rukh drenched in coloured water. Shah Rukh was also seen helping Gauri get into a tank filled with coloured water.
Much like the Kapoors, the Bachchans also used to host Holi parties in the past. However, the parties changed through the years with the guest list growing smaller and the celebrations limited mostly to family members and some friends. In 2015, photos of a young Aaradhya celebrating Holi with mum Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and dad Abhishek Bachchan were shared online.
The veteran actor and the lyricist have made headlines in the past for their fun Holi parties. Photos and videos from the parties have shown how the couple kiss inhibitions goodbye as they colour themselves and others in the spirit of the festival. In 2019, their son, actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar, attended the bash with his girlfriend Shibani Dandekar.
Priyanka Chopra laughs after person confuses Jameela Jamil with her: ‘So did Nick Jonas and
_1614404570691_1614404575535.jpg)
Priyanka Chopra was left rolling with laughter at Jameela Jamil’s latest tweet. In it, The Good Place actor had responded to a person’s query on Twitter, in which they had confused her with Priyanka Chopra.
The person wrote, “Wait so did @nickjonas and @jameelajamil get divorced?” Responding to it, Jameela wrote, “A different Indian woman who doesn’t look anything like me. @priyankachopra I believe they are very happy together still.”
…
Priyanka replied to the tweet writing ‘LOL’ with a punch, hearth and skull emojis. Their fans were also amused at how someone can get confused between the two. “I would be *thrilled* to be confused for either of you insanely talented, gorgeous women but damn – that’s annoying. You really look nothing alike and have had very different careers,” wrote one. “Telling that they didn’t get the wrong Jonas brother… who actually kinda look alike,” wrote another.
In 2017, actor Deepika Padukone was also mistaken for Priyanka Chopra at the Los Angeles airport by the Hollywood media. She had called the episode ‘racist’. “To me it’s racist and ignorant. And as a fellow Indian, you (the media) should also be not very happy about. I think just because people have similar skin tones, doesn’t mean they are same people. As people in a place of power that the media has, instead of creating a tabloid piece out of it, people should be educating them further,” she had said in an interview .

Priyanka is currently in Jameela’s home country. She is in London where she is shooting for Russo Brothers’ Citadel. She recently wrapped up the shoot of Text For You and the third instalment of the Matrix franchise with Keanu Reeves.
Her last release was The White Tiger on Netflix. She also made her debut as a writer this month with her book, Unfinished.
Nick Jonas Reveals Priyanka Chopra Inspired His New Album | PEOPLE.com
Nick Jonas explained that he “dug” into writing new music while his wife was away filming The Matrix 4
On Tuesday, the 28-year-old singer appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , and opened up about his new single, “Spaceman,” and the upcoming album of the same name. When asked what inspired his new solo project, Jonas admitted that “missing” his wife Priyanka Chopra Jonas while she was away amid the COVID-19 pandemic helped enhance his new music.
“I sort of started writing this record back in July. My wife was over in Germany finishing up this little movie called The Matrix ,” Jonas told host Jimmy Fallon. “And I was like, ‘You know, I feel very disconnected from the world, first of all, and now my person.’ And I just dug in writing … within a couple of days I was like ‘Oh, this is a solo album.’ And a few days later I was like, ‘This is a kind of themed album.'”
The Voice coach went on to explain that his new music touches on the themes of isolation and loneliness — feelings many people around the world have faced during the ongoing pandemic this past year.

“Giving this idea that we’ve all had this year now… but this year of being disconnected from reality, disconnected from the world, feeling like we’re on our own planet and obviously missing [Chopra Jonas] at that time as well,” he added. “And reconnecting with her and then the main theme from this album, more than anything, is just about hopefulness for the future and seeing a brighter day ahead.”
During a recent conversation with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe , Jonas said that much of his new album is dedicated to his wife, 38, who stars in the upcoming Matrix 4 film.
“She loves it. Most of the songs are pretty much just love letters, which when I can’t articulate the way I feel with my words with no music, I go to the studio,” he said. “And I’m grateful to have that because it makes her happy, and that’s most important.”
…
“I think the key for me was trying to find a way to give this idea a persona, give it a name. So ‘Spaceman’ came into my mind because I was thinking, ‘What’s the one thing that all of us have felt during this time?’ It’s just completely disconnected from the world,” the Jonas Brothers band member said.
