Priyanka Chopra Jonas: “I Had to Be Her ...

HODA KOTB, TODAY
About this episode

After settling into married life five years ago, releasing a memoir during the pandemic, then welcoming daughter Malti, Priyanka Chopra Jonas is ready to get back to the role she knows best — kicking butt on the small screen. She’s entering this “new season” of her life as a working wife and mom, starring as a spy in Prime Video’s new thriller action drama Citadel and in the romantic comedy Love Again, co-starring Celine Dion (with a fun cameo from her husband Nick Jonas).

 

In this episode,  Hoda Kotb interviewed Priyanka virtually — Hoda from 30 Rock, Priyanka from Mumbai — for Hoda’s first-ever TODAY.com cover story interview.  As you’ll hear - Priyanka is honest, deeply reflective, and beautifully open to this next phase of life. She opens up about Malti’s 100-day stay in the NICU, sharing how Nick Jonas was her strength when she needed it and how she had to be her daughter’s strength when she needed it most.  This is a conversation between Hoda Kotb and Priyanka Chopra Jonas for TODAY’s spring cover story.
