Priyanka Chopra Jonas has opened up about why she decided to take some time for herself after her last relationship before marrying Nick Jonas. In a recent interview, the actor revealed that she wanted to reflect on why she was repeating the same mistakes in her relationships. One of the biggest mistakes she realized she was making was considering herself a "caretaker" and prioritizing her partner's needs and job over her own. Priyanka acknowledged the importance of self-love and understanding her own worth, which ultimately led her to a healthier and happier relationship with Nick.
In the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Priyanka was asked if she had any pattern while choosing her romantic partner, to which Priyanka replied, “I went from relationship to relationship to relationship. I did not give myself time at all between relationships, till my last one. I always ended up dating the actors that I worked with or the people that I met on my set. I just thought I had an idea of what a relationship should be like, and I kept seeking that and trying to fit the people that came into my life into my idea of that relationship.”
Priyanka added, “The repeating of the mistake was always feeling like, I need to be the caretaker, always feeling like it’s okay to cancel my job or my work or my meeting or my priority to make sure that he’s propped up. It was so normalised in my brain for so long that I ended up giving the power in such a skewed way that I never stood up for myself. I literally would become like a doormat and I was like, okay, that’s fine because, you know, that’s what women have been told for such a long time that our role is to glue the family together or you’ve got to make your man feel comfortable when he comes back home.”
Realising self-worth Priyanka asserted, “I reached a point in my life where I was like, what the f*** are you doing? Like, this is getting self-destructive at this point when I had to choose me, I had to be like I don’t owe no one anything except my family and myself, the people who truly love me. When you are in relationships where you stop recognising who you are, you stop having your own identity, or you stop knowing what is it what you want for yourself, what your goals are, then you are invisible. And, I just started feeling invisible in my relationships.”
Lauding her husband Nick, Priyanka said, “My husband makes me feel so seen and so heard and in fact, he thrives on seeing me shine, like he is the most excited about the shows I am doing, he is the most excited when I am on a carpet, he will step aside and he will take pictures of me.”
“My husband and I have this incredible partnership of ‘I got you.’ I can lean on him, you know, that trust exercise, I won’t do that with anyone except Nick. I don’t trust people. He has my back,” said Priyanka.
Meanwhile on the professional front, currently Priyanka is receiving rave reviews for her Amazon Prime series Citadel. It is produced by the Russo Brothers’ AGBO and showrunner David Weil. Alongside Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden, the 6-episode series features Stanley Tucci and Lesley Manville in pivotal roles. She also has Heads of State and Farhan Akhtar’s Jee Le Zaraa with Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif in her pipeline.
