Priyanka Chopra's Brother-In-Law Kevin Lost 'Almost All' Money After Nick Jonas Left Their Band
Kevin Jonas lost 'almost all" of his fortune when the Jonas Brothers were on hiatus. The 37-year-old singer – who began his career in 2005 – admitted he has gone through highs and lows with his finances, and things were particularly bad when the Sucker hitmakers were on a break from 2012 to 2019.
Speaking to Lewis Howes on The School of Greatness podcast, he said: 'I've seen the beginning of the success to financial success — not knowing what money really was and understanding it to not having [it], to losing almost all of it." Kevin attributed the loss of his wealth to a number of 'bad business deals" that took place around 'nine years ago".
However, the Camp Rock star, who has daughters Angelina, 10, and Valentina, eight, with wife Danielle, suggested he couldn't speak about the situation for legal reasons. He said: 'I can't really get too much into it." During the group's hiatus, Kevin formed a residential development company, JonasWerner, which built custom mansions within a commuting distance of Manhattan, invested in a food app called Yood and partnered with a new tech venture, We Hear It.
The Jonas Brothers, which also includes Kevin's younger siblings, Joe, 35, and Nick, 32, reformed in 2019, and Kevin has learned a lot from the difficult times. He said: 'I learned this lesson — never wanted to learn it, but I did. But then, at the same time, reevaluated how to approach life and — from that perspective, and look into the future. At the same time, I was able to really feel honoured that we could have a second shot at it."
Kevin's brothers were also on the podcast, and Joe admitted he and his siblings needed to learn to 'trust" one another again before the group could get back together. He said: 'We all had to go figure out creatively what we could do on our own. We call it a break-up, but we had no intent of getting back together. There was too much under the rug to roll up … We had to trust each other a bit more with being, like, 'Actually, you are good in this band. You are talented. All of us and for different reasons.'" Ultimately, he realised: 'We can all share the spotlight, we could all share the studio, and we could all share songwriting, and we could all share money."

Coolie Gains More Multiplex Shows As Box Office Battle With Hrithik-Jr NTR's War 2 Heats Up
The competition between Coolie and War 2 is shaping up to be one of the year's most closely watched box office battles. The battle at the box office is heating up as Coolie steadily makes its mark against War 2 in Hindi. Initially, most single, dual, and triple screen properties across India were giving full preference to War 2, leaving only a few shows for Coolie. But the tide is shifting. Over the past four days, advance bookings for Coolie have surged, prompting cinemas to add more shows, according to Bollywood Hungama. The film, which was initially expected to earn Rs. 8 crore on its opening day, has now seen its capacity jump by 60 percent to Rs. 13 crore due to strong audience demand. While War 2 continues to lead overall Hindi screenings, Coolie has the potential to achieve higher occupancy rates in select locations where demand is strongest. Audience Demand Drives Multiplex Increase A leading multiplex executive told Bollywood Hungama, 'Coolie is performing well in tier 2 and tier 3 centres, and we are increasing the shows accordingly. Audience demand is clear, and we must match it." Another cinema owner, running a two-screen property, claimed that despite strict instructions from YRF not to give any show to Coolie, they managed to schedule two shows due to popular demand. Ticket sales for these shows have already begun picking up. The names of multiplex chains and cinema halls are being kept under wraps to protect business interests, but platforms like Book My Show are reflecting the increased availability of Coolie screenings, showing the film's growing presence in the Hindi market. The Clash Intensifies The competition between Coolie and War 2 is shaping up to be one of the year's most closely watched box office battles. With strong audience demand for both films, cinemas are quickly adjusting schedules. For moviegoers, this means more chances to catch Coolie on the big screen despite the YRF release dominating most venues. As box office numbers roll in, it will be intriguing to see whether Coolie can sustain momentum and challenge War 2's dominance in Hindi.
