Priyanka Chopra Jonas Reveals She Tricked Her Mother-in-Law Into Doing Her Laundry
Los Angeles, July 6, 2025 — Bollywood icon and global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas, currently riding high on the success of her latest action-comedy Heads of State, has confessed that like many of us, she too has a least favorite household chore — doing laundry.
In an interview with People magazine, the actress candidly shared how she once cleverly convinced her mother-in-law, Denise Miller-Jonas, to do the task for her.
“Laundry is a hard chore for me. I find it tough. I'll always try to get someone else to do it,” Chopra Jonas admitted.
“Too Many Buttons, Too Many Choices”
Known for her effortless charm on screen, Priyanka showed a humorous and relatable side off-screen as she talked about her battle with laundry duties.
“I can steam and iron. I can fold. But just getting through the process of laundry is really tough — too many buttons, too many choices, too many little things,” she laughed.
She added, “My mother-in-law tried to teach me once, but that was just my way of getting her to do my laundry for me.”
Calling Denise Jonas Right Away
Priyanka revealed that she plans to give her mother-in-law a heads-up about her candid confession.
“I'm going to call her right now and tell her I said this. ‘Just want you to know’,” she said with a grin.
The actress has often spoken affectionately about her relationship with Denise Jonas, the mother of her husband and singer-actor Nick Jonas, whom she married in a lavish multi-day wedding in 2018.
A Close-Knit Family
Since tying the knot, Priyanka and Nick have often been seen spending time with their families. The couple welcomed their daughter Malti Marie in 2022 via surrogacy, and both frequently post pictures of their family outings on social media.
In a 2023 appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Priyanka had recalled how Denise once told her she remembered watching her win the Miss World 2000 pageant.
“She said, ‘I remember watching you when you won’. Nick was 7, I was 17, and he was sitting there, watching,” Priyanka recalled during the show.
On-Screen: Action, Politics, and Global Chaos
Priyanka currently stars in Prime Video’s action-comedy Heads of State, directed by Ilya Naishuller, where she appears alongside John Cena as the U.S. President and Idris Elba as the U.K. Prime Minister.
The film has been gaining attention for its explosive action sequences, political satire, and global espionage plotlines. Priyanka’s performance has been praised for bringing depth and charisma to her high-stakes role.
