Last Updated:
Priyanka Chopra shared a touching moment of Malti Marie holding dad Nick Jonas' finger, leaving fans emotional over their adorable bond.
Priyanka Chopra never fails to melt hearts on the internet, especially when it comes to sharing precious moments featuring her daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. The actress, who has been keeping fans updated about Malti's milestones from her first steps to her playful antics, has treated her followers to yet another heartwarming moment.
In the photo shared on her Instagram Stories, Priyanka captured an intimate father-daughter bond, showing Nick Jonas gently offering his finger to little Malti Marie, who holds it with her tiny hand. The adorable gesture speaks volumes of the trust and affection between the father and daughter, leaving the internet gushing.
Fans also noticed a traditional Indian black and gold beaded thread tied around Malti's wrist, a nod to Indian customs believed to ward off evil. Even while raising Malti in the United States, Priyanka continues to imbue her daughter's life with Indian values and culture.
Nick Jonas, dressed in a sleek grey blazer, sported a golden bracelet that also caught attention, adding a stylish flair to the otherwise emotional snapshot.
Priyanka and Nick, who tied the knot in December 2018 in a lavish ceremony at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Rajasthan, have consistently shared their joy of parenting Malti. Their wedding, a blend of Christian and Hindu traditions, was a three-day affair attended by close friends and family. They later hosted a grand reception in Mumbai for Priyanka's friends from the film industry.
The couple welcomed Malti Marie via surrogacy on January 15, 2022. Since then, Priyanka has offered occasional glimpses into their life as a family of three, capturing the hearts of fans around the world.
On the work front, Priyanka Chopra is gearing up for her Indian cinema comeback. She is set to appear in SS Rajamouli's much-awaited film alongside Mahesh Babu. Meanwhile, her Hollywood project Heads of State is set to release soon.

Clone of Kooks: Connected by stories beyond borders
In a world created by Krishnakumar Balasubramanian (KK), an emergency has arisen. The fate of the world is hidden in a secret recipe. Hence, five cooks, with their bright red clown noses, spatulas, flying pans and magical flavours with a pinch of music set out to save the world. This imaginative world will unfold in front of a live audience at the 14th edition of The Little Festival, to be held in the city. This action comedy theatre show, Kooks (Sunny Side Up) by The Little Theatre, will be the Indian representation at the international festival. The play highlights how social media's hyper connectivity is resulting in more separation, isolation and loneliness. KK, artistic director at The Little Theatre and the creator of Kooks, shares, 'We wanted to create a play on how we sail through these conflicts effectively. We realised nothing brings people together as much as food and cooking. All cultures have food as a central element of bringing people together, and somehow we were able to relate to grandmothers, cooking and families and friends coming together, and that's how the idea of Kooks was born.'

James Beard Award winner's local flavours get global reception
The restaurant, Semma, which took form in 2021, in Greenwich, New York, was built with a tinge of his childhood, a blob of his food culture, where the ingredients — his grandmother's recipes, the freshly ground spices — are served like an unforgettable fragment of his life. Receiving the 2025 James Beard Award is equally a win for the Indians, on many layers. His profound words tower over the food politics, cutting through the differences based on plates and palettes, as at the ceremony, he says, 'There is nothing called a poor person's food or rich person's food. It's food. It's powerful, and the real luxury is to be able to connect with each other around the dinner table. Tonight, the Indian cuisine stands tall, The Tamil food stands tall, my own food stands tall…' Despite standing on the peak of his culinary voyage, he would never want to erase his humble upbringing. 'When I started cooking, I never thought a dark-skinned boy from Tamil Nadu could make it to a room like this,' his words echo at the award ceremony. The 25 years of his life in the culinary field were always about staying true to his ethics, uncompromised, and unapologetic. His vacations, outings with grandparents, the fishing and hunting sessions, relishing grandmother's food wrapped in banana leaves, were probably where he drew food ideas from, teaching him to retain the raw flavours of nature and resist sophistication. Among the smoky flavours of the beloved Mulaikattiya Thaniya, flavoursome Dindigul Biryani, the crispy Nathai Pirattai, and many other interesting blends served on banana leaves, he mentions the customers' favourites, his signature dishes — Gunpowder Dosa and Paniyaram.
