Priyanka Chopra gushes over how grateful she is to have married Nick Jonas

Priyanka Chopra has made gushing comments about her husband Nick Jonas, confessing how grateful she is to have married him.

The actress, who married Nick, 28, in 2018 said she is lucky to be married to someone who is also famous as he can understand the pressures of her job.

She revealed that her parents, who were both doctors, had advised her to find someone who worked in the same industry as her so they can relate to the demands of her career.

Nick made his name with his siblings in the band The Jonas Brothers when he was just a teenager.

Priyanka, 38, told Glamour magazine : "My parents were both doctors and they always said it was so great to be married to someone in the same profession, because they understood the hours and they understood the life.

"I feel really grateful that I'm married to someone in the same profession who understands the requirements that my job has, and also understands the creativity of it."

Priyanka, whose career began in India before she found fame, in Hollywood, recently starred in and produced Netflix drama The White Tiger.

The White Tiger is an adaptation of Aravind Adiga's Booker Prize-winning novel about the cultural tensions of modern-day India.

She said of the film: "Movies with an all-Indian star cast or stories around India usually end up becoming 'genre movies' or independent movies.

"To me, this material was mainstream, it deserved the attention of the world like mainstream entertainment.

"But in Hollywood and mainstream entertainment, seeing leading actors that are South Asian is so rare.

"We're seeing a few like Mindy (Kaling), Aziz (Ansari), Riz (Ahmed), me, Kumail (Nanjiani), but there's just a handful.

"That was a big reason why I wanted to really offer my services as a producer on this movie.

"I wanted to be able to push it and promote it so that it has as many eyeballs on it as it could.

"It gives me so much joy to see it being number one around the world on Netflix, with a full Indian star cast, Indian writer and an Indian director.

"It's game-changing."
