Nick Jonas doesn't like being called ‘Jiju' by Indian fans? Priyanka Chopra spills beans
Talking about India, fans here have always referred to the American singer as Jiju (brother-in-law in Hindi), and this has persisted even after many years of their marriage. Recently, the actress in an interview revealed that she loved this name.
Nick Jonas loves being called Jiju
As we all know, she is all geared up for the release of her upcoming movie, Heads Of State, for which she has been on a promotional spree. Priyanka Chopra is leaving no stones unturned to promote it and is currently in London for the same.
Bollywood Hungama's Rohit Khilnani spoke to her on the film's premiere red carpet and asked her about Indians continuing to call her hubby Nick Jonas 'jiju'. So, will she like to change it, or does she like it that way?
Responding to this, the actress, without any thought, instantly replied, 'No, I think Jiju is really cute and he loves it. I love it. I feel so warm.
Nick Jonas or Priyanka Chopra: Who is the better spy?
Priyanka Chopra was further asked between her and hubby Nick Jonas, if they were spies, then who is more likely to blow the cover first? Responding to this, she instantly replied that it would be her.
She added that everyone would think that, since she has played so many spies before, fans would think it would be Nick, but that is not true. The Sky Is Pink actress quipped that her husband has the 'best poker face'.
When and where to watch Heads of State
Heads of State will debut exclusively on Amazon Prime Video on July 2, 2025. Ahead of the digital launch, the movie played in select theatres across the U.S. on June 6, giving critics an early look.

War 2 (Hindi) Box Office Preview: Hrithik Roshan, and NTR starrer run time, screen count, advance booking, & opening day
Hrithik Roshan, NTR, and Kiara Advani are teaming up for the first time on the Ayan Mukerji-directed War 2, which is the sixth chapter of the ambitiously crafted YRF Spy Universe. The film marks the return of Hrithik as Agent Kabir after War (2019), and features NTR as Agent Vikram. War 2 has been certified U/A by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), with an approved run time of 2 hours and 53 minutes. War 2 is seeing an All India release in Hindi by the in-house distributor team of YRF, and the studio has gone all out to secure a very strong release of the film on about 5000 screens. It marks one of the widest releases in Hindi for not just Hrithik Roshan and NTR, but also Yash Raj Films. The advance bookings for War 2 opened from Sunday morning, and the response to ticket sales has been so-so, and had the scope to be much better. As on Wednesday at 1 PM, War 2 has sold 96,000 tickets in the top 3 national chains – PVRInox, and Cinepolis – and is headed for a final pre-sale in the range of 1,60,000 tickets to 1,80,000 tickets, depending on how well the momentum picks up towards the evening and night. It would end up scoring the third biggest advance of the year in national chains after Chhaava and Saiyaara, with a minor shot at being the second best after the former too. The final pre-sales will be better than films like Sikandar, Raid 2, and Housefull 5, but that's not exactly a benchmark at the moment. Given the scale of the film and franchise value, the advances should have been better, but it's probably the case of assets and music. The first day of War 2 in Hindi is expected to be in the range of Rs 35 crore (+/- 10 percent), and a lot will depend on the reports, as the results of positive talk will be visible from the walk-ups early evening shows itself. The target for War 2 should be to hit the Rs 50 crore mark on Friday and Sunday, as that would paint a good picture for the 4-day opening weekend in Hindi. The biggest plus for War 2 at the moment rests in the extremely positive reports, but audience is always the king, and this positivity now needs to come from them. War 2 is a non-holiday release, and good word of mouth could lead it strongly into the holiday weekend from Friday to Sunday, leading to a big surge in the business.
