Priyanka Chopra Shares Hilarious Anecdote About Outsourcing Her Laundry to Her Mother-in-Law
Mumbai | July 7, 2025 — Bollywood-Hollywood star Priyanka Chopra Jonas may be known for her global superstardom, but when it comes to household chores, she’s just like the rest of us. In a candid interview with PEOPLE magazine, the Citadel and Heads of State actor confessed that laundry is one chore she simply can't get herself to enjoy.
“Laundry is a hard chore for me. I find it tough. I'll always try to get someone else to do it,” the 42-year-old actress admitted with a laugh.
And she did — quite literally.
“Just Want You to Know”
Priyanka hilariously recalled the time she managed to trick her mother-in-law, Denise Miller-Jonas, into doing her laundry.
“My mother-in-law tried to teach me once, but that was just my way of getting her to do my laundry for me!” she joked.
Despite being comfortable with ironing and folding, Priyanka says it’s the complexity of the laundry machine that puts her off.
“Too many buttons, too many choices, too many little things,” she said, summarizing what many of us feel about the chore.
She added that she planned to call her mother-in-law right after the interview aired:
“I'm going to call her right now and tell her I said this. 'Just want you to know!'”
A Tight-Knit Family
Since marrying Nick Jonas in 2018, Priyanka has often shared glimpses of her close-knit family life on social media, including photos with their 3-year-old daughter Malti Marie and moments with Nick’s parents.
In a previous interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show in 2023, she revealed a delightful connection with her in-laws that goes back over two decades.
“My mother-in-law was like, ‘I remember watching you when you won [Miss World in 2000].’ Nick was 7, I was 17. He was sitting there and watching,” Priyanka had shared.
What’s Next for Priyanka?
On the work front, Priyanka Chopra is currently starring in the action-comedy Heads of State, where she shares screen space with John Cena and Idris Elba. The film is now streaming on Prime Video.
Her upcoming projects include:
- The Bluff (co-starring Karl Urban)
- Judgment Day (with Zac Efron and Will Ferrell)
With her Hollywood career soaring and her grounded charm intact, Priyanka continues to be a fan favorite — whether she’s playing a spy on-screen or poking fun at herself off-screen.
