Priyanka Chopra reveals she didn't think she would marry her husband Nick Jonas

Priyanka Chopra Jonas has revealed that she never once thought, her relationship with her husband Nick Jonas will ever lead to marriage.

On Thursday, the 36-year-old actress spoke at Tina Brown's 10th Annual Women in the World Summit in New York City, and revealed why she never thought they would end up together. 

“I didn’t think this would be what it turned out to be, and that’s maybe my fault. I judged a book by its cover,” she shared with a laugh. “I think when I started actually dating Nick he surprised me so much. Don’t tell anyone, guys … I call him ‘Old Man Jonas’ … OMJ.

“He’s such an old soul, extremely smart. [He’s] so good for me because he grounds me so much. I’m a wild child. I do whatever I want whenever and he always supports me.”

Soon after she decided to really give it a try, the “Quantico” star, 36, realized she had someone special.

“One of the first things that I think struck me about him is we were on a date, and it was time to leave … we were with a bunch of friends and I had a meeting,” she recalled. “I was like dropping things to my friends and they’re like, ‘No, don’t go to the meeting just stay.’ and I’m like, ‘No, if someone gives me a reason enough to cancel I’ll cancel it,’ and he just didn’t pick up the hint … ”

“I said it twice. I said it thrice. Finally, he took me aside and said, ‘Look, I’m not stupid. I know what you’re trying to do, but I could never be the one to tell you to cancel work because I know how hard you’ve worked to be where you are, so if you could’ve canceled it you would’ve done it. I’ll take our friends out to dinner and we’ll wait for you, finish your meeting and come back.”

Jonas’ words and gesture meant the world to her.

“That’s the first time anyone’s ever done that for me,” Chopra gushed, noting how important it was that Jonas gave her “credit” for all that she’d done.

Chopra and Jonas tied the knot in December in an extravagant 3 days ceremony in India. She admitted they might have gotten a little heavy-handed with the planning.

“Hopefully, it’ll be the only one, so I was like you know…” she quipped. “We didn’t realize [the extravagance] until it was done, and we saw videos and then the bill!”
