She’s one of the most recognised faces on the planet. But when it comes to her daughter Malti, Priyanka Chopra isn’t a global superstar — she’s just a fiercely protective mom, living in what she calls “constant fear.” And her latest candid revelation has struck a chord with parents everywhere.
The Incident That Changed Everything
Priyanka shared a deeply unsettling incident on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast — someone recorded Malti from school all the way home, without the family’s knowledge or consent. Koreaboo That one incident crystallised everything for her and Nick Jonas.

A NICU Baby, A Miracle Child
Malti was born at just 27 weeks and spent over 100 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit fighting for her life — Priyanka describes her as a “miracle baby” and admits she is still living in constant fear as a result of the traumatic early experience. Wikipedia
Despite the difficult start, Malti is now a vibrant, precocious 4-year-old who loves to sing at the top of her voice and tell jokes — a born performer who, as Priyanka puts it, “has so much of me, my husband, her grandparents, and every day she’s a surprise.”
Why Priyanka Is Drawing a Hard Line on Social Media
Priyanka and Nick initially covered Malti’s face in all photos, but once they realised she was being photographed in public anyway, they decided to take the power back — while simultaneously reducing how much they shared of her altogether as she grew older.
Priyanka is firm that while she chose a public life herself, Malti deserves the freedom to make that choice on her own terms one day — and right now, anonymity and safety come first.
Her message is powerful: “I love talking about Malti. She’s amazing. But protecting her… How far will you go? I feel that.”
