Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas got married in December 2018 after dating for a few months. The couple, who have a daughter named Malti Marie, has an age gap of 10 years between them. Recently Priyanka’s mother Madhu Chopra addressed the age gap between the two and also shared how Nick asked her permission to marry Priyanka. 


Madhu Chopra's first meeting with Nick Jonas


In an interview with Filmygyan, Madhu shared about her first meeting with Nick. “Priyanka hadn’t told me anything about Nick but I saw media reports that they had been spotted together and asked her… She said if there’s anything, I will tell you. She later called me and said that I am coming for some work to Mumbai and Nick also wants to come. I asked her whether he wants to travel to Jaipur etc, see India. Priyanka said ‘I will go to work and he will stay at home, do his songwriting.’ He came and I saw him as a serious, sober guy. I had no inkling… their behaviour was absolutely normal towards each other,” she told Filmygyan. 


How Nick won her over


She then shared how Nick took her to lunch and asked permission to marry Priyanka. “When he came to India and met me, he took me to lunch when Priyanka was not around. Nick asked me what kind of boy I would want for Priyanka. So, I listed all the qualities, and he simply took my hand and said, ‘I am that guy. Can I be that person? I promise that nothing from your list will be left unchecked’. I was very happy, I saw him as a solid person,” she said.

Talking about the 10-year-age-gap betwen the couple, Madhu said, “Koi farak nahi padha. Aadmi acha hai. Ladki ache hai. Both care for each other. That’s all. (It didn’t matter. The man and woman are good; They both care for each other. That is what matters). Uss nazar se dekha hi nahi. I was so happy and ecstatic.” 


Priyanka on their age gap


In an interview with Today last year, Priyanka said she doesn't give their age gap any attention.  "I don't think about it. I think people think about it a lot more than I do. I didn’t give it much of a chance because, I was like, ‘He’s 25 years old, he’s a rockstar. I want to get married, I want to settle down, I want to have a baby.’ I was 35 at the time,” she had said in the interview.
