Priyanka Chopra reveals mandatory Sunday snuggle tradition with Nick Jonas, daughter Malti
In a candid conversation with People magazine, Priyanka shared that every Sunday morning, she and her family make time for a ritual that she describes as "mandatory."
"Sunday morning snuggles in bed," the 'Heads of State' actress told People magazine, adding, "They have to happen. It's mandatory."
Despite her demanding work commitments, the actress ensures that this intimate family time is never missed.
"Seven am, but we got 'em in," she said, speaking about the cherished moments she spends with her husband, Nick Jonas, and their 3-year-old daughter, Malti Marie.
When asked about what brings her the most peace, Priyanka said, "Being home with my family.... The biggest luxury in our lives is being able to waste time together or spend time together and just be languid in it and not worry about having to go somewhere."
She went on to describe her love for quiet moments, including her "guilty pleasure" of unwinding during those rare periods of stillness.
"That one hour you might get when it's quiet in the house and you get to watch Love Island's new season with a glass of wine or maybe even a book, when I am supposed to be reading my scripts," she added, illustrating how important downtime is to her.
But it's not just the serene mornings that Priyanka values. She also shared a humorous yet relatable tradition from her household, midnight snacking.
"I do scavenge the fridge at night. I am that person... a big snacker," she admitted during a conversation with People magazine.
However, she has a strategic approach to her late-night snack sessions.
"I want to make sure I get the snack scavenging in while everyone's distracted with the movie because you can't do it after. If you do it after, there's too much attention on you, 'What are you eating?' And then everybody wants to eat and it becomes a meal and then I'm heating up food. You've got to sneak out during a really important part of the movie. So that's what I do," she said.
Priyanka, who is currently starring in the action-comedy 'Heads of State', balances her career and family life effortlessly.
In the film, she portrays an MI6 agent alongside John Cena, who plays the US president, and Idris Elba as the UK prime minister.
The Ilya Naishuller-directed movie, which also stars Jack Quaid, Sarah Niles, and Carla Gugino, is now available for streaming on Prime Video. (ANI)

Kate Middleton's secret edge: She always beats Prince William at THIS sport
Prince William might be competitive by nature, but when it comes to tennis, he knows better than to challenge his wife. Turns out, Kate Middleton almost always wins when the Prince and Princess of Wales square off on the court. And this isn't just royal gossip - it comes straight from tennis legend Rod Laver, who shared the tidbit a few years ago after chatting with the couple in the Royal Box at Wimbledon. 'I'd met William and Kate a few times, and in the Royal Box you get a chance to chat with them a little bit. They play tennis against each other. William told me he couldn't beat her,' Laver told the Daily Mail in 2020. It's really not surprising that Kate's the better player. She also hands out the trophies at Wimbledon- a job she clearly enjoys. The Princess of Wales is also not just a spectator. Kate has rallied with big names like Roger Federer and Emma Raducanu, the latter once praised her 'incredible forehand.' So when William jokes about never beating her, it's probably not just modesty - she's got real skills. Kate and William, both 43, have always loved a bit of friendly competition. Over the years, they've taken each other on in all sorts of challenges - from sailing races and running tracks to spin bikes and even ping pong - often during their public appearances. Their competitive streak isn't limited to sports either. Whether it's rolling out dough balls at a bakery or mixing cocktails behind the bar, they seem to enjoy testing each other - and keeping the energy light, reports People. Even on podcasts, their dynamic has come up. During a 2023 episode of The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, hosted by Mike Tindall (who's married to William's cousin Zara), Kate's drive to win became the punchline. 'I'm not going to say you're uber competitive,' Mike joked. 'I'm not competitive at all,' Kate replied with a smile. 'I've seen her play beer pong!' Mike added, as everyone laughed. Kate might deliver her lines with charm, but those who know her best say the competitiveness is real. And William? He's learned to pick his battles, at least when tennis rackets are involved. Whatever the sport, it's clear these two know how to keep things fun - and just a little bit fiery - both on and off the court. A. Tennis legend Rod Laver shared the story after speaking to the couple at Wimbledon. A. They have competed in running, sailing, spin biking, ping pong, and more during royal engagements. A. She's the royal patron of the All England Club and presents trophies at the tournament.

It's Always Sunny Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney officially changes name to Rob Mac: Here's why
Rob McElhenney has legally filed to change his name to "Rob Mac"—a name fans and friends have already been calling him for years. Speaking at It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's 20th anniversary event, the actor revealed the change was partly inspired by his family history and partly due to pure frustration. 'When I traced back my family tree, I found that our surname had changed spelling six or seven times since the late 1800s,' he told PEOPLE. 'It hit me then, this name isn't some sacred heirloom. It's just a bunch of letters that some government guy wrote down over a century ago.' Rob McElhenney got tired of mispronunciations In a video message on July 1, Rob added that he was tired of people getting his name wrong. 'The amount of time I've wasted correcting people… it adds up to actual days,' he said. 'Everyone already calls me Rob Mac. So why not just keep it simple?' I said what I said. He officially signed the documents in Los Angeles on June 26. Going forward, the Mythic Quest actor will be credited as 'Rob Mac' in all new projects. Even FX has already made the switch in official material for Sunny. His wife, actress Kaitlin Olson, had a funny take: 'The kids are really not happy about it,' she joked, since they all still carry the McElhenney surname. But Rob isn't stressing it. 'My family knows who I am, and they love me either way. The name doesn't change that.'

Panchayat actress Sanvikaa aka Rinki on the show losing out on its innocence: 'People will hate...'
Actress Sanvikaa, who essays the role of Rinki in the superhit streaming series 'Panchayat', feels that as the show progresses with subsequent seasons, it holds on to its innocence which is one of the show's core values. 5 years ago, when season 1 of 'Panchayat' was released, the show tugged at the heart-strings of the audience owing to its simple, flavourful storytelling and the innocence of its characters. However, as the narrative progressed, many elements made their way to the show, with politics being the prominent theme since the last 2 seasons. Why is Panchayat season 4 getting mixed reviews? The actress recently spoke with IANS. When asked that given the political elements picking up in the show, can the show tread away from innocence in the longer run, she said, 'I don't think so. Though the key characters are competing with each other if either of them is in need, even the opposition team will come and help and support'. She further mentioned, 'So I think even in villages right now, though there will be opposition, though people will hate each other, but when there are crises, or like when someone needs any help, no matter how much they hate that person, they will always go and help that person'. She told IANS, 'So I think that innocence is not lost. It is just like being masked with the situations that people are having right now, like the politics. But if we talk about innocence, I think it's still there'. Why did Sanvikaa's character Rinki have less screen time in Panchayat Season 4? Earlier, the actress had spoken up on the trajectory of character in the show through 4 seasons. She shared that it was the conscious choice of the makers to gradually unravel the layers of her character, and not in one go. In the first season of the show, Sanvikaa's character is not seen until the last sequence of the season 1 finale episode. Her character has grown over a time period, and this time around she is more hands-on and fully involved with the narrative of the show. Talking about the same, she said earlier, 'I think the makers wanted it to be in such a way, where the character is slowly progressing. They never wanted to give it like in the first go itself. That's why conscious efforts have been made to show Rinky in bits and pieces only'. 'And, with time we are discovering who Rinky is, what she stands for and how her relations with the family and with her love life and whatever she's dealing with in her life, that is being discovered in a very slow process', she added. 'Panchayat' is available to stream on Prime Video.
