In one of her career-defining early roles, Chopra played Sonia Roy, a fiercely ambitious woman who accuses her former lover (played by Akshay Kumar) of sexual harassment after he rejects her advances.
In 2017, singer/actor Nick Jonas sent a Twitter DM saying, "I'm hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet." They met briefly at the Vanity Fair Oscars party before officially dating. Their romance gained intense media traction when they appeared together at the 2017 Met Gala.
In 2016, Nick Jonas sent a direct message to Chopra on Twitter, praising her performance in the American TV series Quantico . This led to a friendly text exchange that lasted for months.
One of Priyanka's most intensely monitored relationships was with actor Shahid Kapoor. Although the couple kept their bond strictly private and rarely confirmed it to the media, their chemistry was evident in the caper thriller Kaminey (2009) and the romance Teri Meri Kahaani (2012). Years later, on talk shows like Koffee with Karan , both actors subtly acknowledged their past relationship, confirming they remained on good terms. The Global Romance: Priyanka and Nick Jonas
Their story began in 2016 when Nick Jonas sent Priyanka a direct message on Twitter, writing, "I’ve heard from a few mutual friends that we should meet". Their online banter quickly turned into in-person meetings.
The most fascinating turn came with her Hollywood crossover and the ensuing romance with Nick Jonas. This was the moment Priyanka Chopra abandoned Bollywood’s romantic rulebook entirely. Her on-screen storylines in Hollywood, such as in Isn’t It Romantic (2019) or The Sky Is Pink (2019), actively deconstruct fairy-tale clichés. In the former, she plays a yoga guru who is literally a parody of the “perfect woman”; in the latter, she portrays a mother whose love story is defined not by grand gestures but by resilience and grief. Simultaneously, her real-life courtship with Nick Jonas was a hyper-modern, globalized spectacle—an Instagram-official, 200-person engagement, and two lavish wedding ceremonies (one Hindu, one Christian) that were meticulously curated for public consumption.
