Priyanka Chopra And Nick Jonas Attend BLACKPINK's Concert, Croon Malti Marie's Favourite Song APT

Looks like the BLACKPINK fan club just got a big Bollywood-Hollywood addition. Priyanka Chopra has made it official – she is a BLINK. Over the weekend, Priyanka and her husband, Nick Jonas, attended BLACKPINK's Deadline World Tour concert in New York. The couple seemed to have a blast, and they shared glimpses from the event on their Instagram Stories. The actress was dressed in a chic grey dress paired with statement earrings, while Nick kept it cool in a shirt, jacket and pants combo. They were not just there to pose – they were all in, singing along with the crowd and soaking in the K-pop energy. Nick Jonas posted a video of BLACKPINK's Rose performing her hit song APT. In the clip, both he and Priyanka are seen vibing to the track along with thousands of other fans. He simply captioned it, ' APT,' and added a fire emoji. But here is the cute twist—turns out the song might be a hit at home too. Priyanka Chopra reshared the video and wrote, 'Winning brownie points with Malti Marie.' She also tagged Rose and Bruno Mars, who co-sung the track with the BLACKPINK star. So now we know – little Malti Marie's got great taste in music, and her parents are clearly keeping up. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas got married in 2018. The couple welcomed Malti Marie via surrogacy in 2022. On the work front, Priyanka Chopra was last seen in Heads of State alongside Idris Elba and John Cena. The film premiered on Prime Video on July 2. Up next, she is set to appear in projects like The Bluff, SSMB29 and Citadel Season 2.

Will Mahesh Babu Fans Get An SSMB29 Update On His 50th Birthday? Find Out

Last Updated: Mahesh Babu fans are eagerly waiting for an SSMB29 update, directed by SS Rajamouli, on his 50th birthday on August 9, 2025. The film also stars Priyanka Chopra. SSMB29 Movie Update: Mahesh Babu's much-anticipated film, directed by RRR maker SS Rajamouli, continues to stay under wraps with no official announcement as yet. With the superstar's milestone 50th birthday approaching on August 9, 2025, fans were hopeful for a major reveal. However, a new report suggests that the wait isn't over just yet. According to Gulte, the makers have no plans to drop any teaser or announcement on Mahesh's birthday — a fresh departure from the usual tradition of sharing big film updates on celebs' special days. Instead, the report indicates that the announcement will take more time but is being prepped as a 'global phenomenon." In the meantime, Mahesh Babu recently returned from a family vacation in Sri Lanka, where he celebrated his daughter Sitara's birthday. He is expected to dive into an intense shooting schedule for SSMB29 from August 2025. As per India Today, a source revealed, 'August is when the cameras start rolling again. Mahesh has been undergoing extensive physical training, and Priyanka's dates have been locked in after long coordination. This schedule is going to be intense and crucial for the story arc." SSMB29 is being positioned as a globe-trotting jungle adventure, with Mahesh Babu reportedly playing a rugged explorer inspired by Indiana Jones, with narrative influences drawn from African folklore. The film is being shot across various locations in India and abroad, with the scale and vision expected from a Rajamouli directorial. While an official confirmation about the storyline is still awaited, the buzz around the film continues to grow. With a reported budget between Rs 900 to 1000 crore, the film is shaping up to be one of the most expensive Indian productions ever. Though earlier speculation hinted at a two-part release, the latest reports suggest that the makers may opt for a single grand release, likely in 2027. The star-studded cast includes Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who returns to Indian cinema four years after Netflix's The White Tiger in 2021. The ensemble cast also comprise Prithviraj Sukumaran and R Madhavan. Fans can also look forward to a massive solo dance number by Mahesh Babu, a highlight that's already generating excitement. The Telugu superstar has reportedly ditched a body double and will perform action scenes himself to bring more authenticity to the film's thrilling moments.
