When Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas announced their engagement in 2018, fans were captivated by the union of an Indian superstar and a Hollywood pop icon. While their romance felt like a fairytale, there was a touching moment behind the scenes—Nick’s heartfelt effort to win over Priyanka’s mother, Dr. Madhu Chopra.
A Thoughtful Gesture That Left a Lasting Impression
In a recent conversation with *Filmygyan*, Madhu Chopra shared how Nick formally asked for Priyanka’s hand in marriage. Recalling their interaction, she revealed that Nick invited her to lunch and inquired about the qualities she envisioned in Priyanka’s future husband. As she listed her expectations, Nick confidently held her hand and said, *”I am that man. Can I be that person? I promise you, not a single box will remain unchecked.”*
The sincerity in Nick’s words took Madhu by surprise, leaving her both amazed and pleased. Though she barely knew him at the time, she instinctively felt he was a solid and genuine individual.
A Love Story Marked in Ink
This defining moment in their relationship also inspired the couple’s matching tattoos. Priyanka previously revealed that when Nick proposed in Greece, he asked her to “check another box”—a nod to their earlier conversation. To commemorate this, they got tattoos symbolizing their journey: Priyanka has a check and a box inked behind each ear, while Nick sports the same design on his arms.
Priyanka’s Next Big Project
On the professional front, Priyanka continues to expand her global presence. She is set to collaborate with acclaimed filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli and superstar Mahesh Babu for *SSMB29*, an ambitious two-part cinematic project. Filming will extend until 2026, with the first part slated for release in 2027 and the sequel in 2029. A leaked set image from Hyderabad, showcasing grand temple structures reminiscent of Varanasi, has already sparked excitement among fans. With Rajamouli’s visionary direction and Priyanka’s much-anticipated return to Indian cinema, *SSMB29* is shaping up to be a cinematic spectacle worth the wait.
