Nick Jonas Opens Up On His Father's Cancer Scare: 'We Became Closer, Stronger'
Nick Jonas says everyone has their own experience too in life's challenging moments.
American popstar Nick Jonas, whose father Kevin Jonas Sr was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2017 and has been in remission since 2018, feels that the health scare has actually served to unite his family. The 32-year-old singer told People: '(The) more emotionally challenging periods really test your endurance.
'But (our dad) was just such a champion and so brave through our whole process. It (was) with such thoughtfulness that I think it helped all of us a lot and provided us with the encouragement we needed when in fact we were just trying to support him."
He said that everyone has their own experience too in life's challenging moments, reports femalefirst.co.uk. 'I'm so grateful that we have gotten to the other side of that and become closer as a family and stronger."
Meanwhile, the Jonas Brothers, which also featured Nick's brothers Kevin and Joe, announced plans for their JONAS20: Living the Dream Tour earlier this year, and Nick recently said that the band's music has 'aged very well".
He said: 'It's aged very well. It's one of those things where we've looked out and seen the fan base really evolve and change and there's sort of a generational aspect to it now when you think about it."
He shared that the people who were 'our age back when we were teens touring and making music are our age now and they've grown up and they're bringing their kids to the shows, but their parents that brought them when they were in their youth still want to come."
In other news, Nick has shared a video on Instagram from a beach getaway with wife Priyanka Chopra Jonas. He made a reel on Jonas Brothers new song titled 'I Can't Lose". It started with Nick standing at the beach by himself. It had the text overlay that read: 'Without her" along with a sad face emoji. As soon as the music paced, Priyanka ran to Nick and leaped on him. The two then shared a passionate kiss. The text overlay then changed to read, 'With her!" with heart eyes and happy emoji. He captioned the post: 'I can't lose."

The death of veteran filmmaker Chandra Barot has left the entire industry in shock. The director is known for making the iconic film Don starring Amitabh Bachchan. As the news of Chandra Barot 's demise at the age of 86 came out, Amitabh Bachchan took to his blog to pen heartfelt condolences to the director who gave him one of the biggest blockbusters of his career. 'Another and another sad moment," the veteran actor began in his post and continued, 'Dear dear friend and my director of DON – Chandra Barot passed away this morning… It is difficult to put in words the loss… we worked together, yes, but he was more a family friend than any else… I can only pray 🙏." Chandra Barot, the director of the 1978 cult classic film Don, passed away on Sunday, July 20, following a prolonged battle with pulmonary fibrosis. After his demise, Farhan Akhtar—who revived the franchise in 2006—also paid his respects to the departed soul with a heartfelt tribute. Farhan Akhtar took to Instagram and shared a picture of Chandra Barot along with a heartfelt note. While sharing the picture, Farhan wrote, 'Saddened to learn that the director of the OG Don is no more. RIP Chandra Barot-ji. Deepest condolences to the family." It was his wife, Deepa Barot, who confirmed the news of his passing and revealed that he had not been keeping well for a while.
