Priyanka Chopra in a new interview recalled how she was close to losing her daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas after her birth. Malti, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas' daughter, was born premature and was in the NICU for 100 days before the couple could bring her home.
Talking about not being able to celebrate much on her first Mother's Day after Malti's arrival, Priyanka told Elle magazine, “I’ve not been a mom long enough to be able to take the celebration, but I love to celebrate the moms in my life on Mother’s Day.”
”She’s got me wrapped around her finger. I don’t even know how I’ll ever discipline her because I just don’t have it in me. I was so close to losing her so many times that she can get away with anything and I just want to see her happy. I want her to be the happiest. She’s a super smiley, happy baby, and that’s all my goal is—to see her joyous. Every time she smiles, it lights up my world, and that’s all I want to do," she added.
On her first Mother's Day, Priyanka Chopra posted a long note. She said, “On this Mother's Day we can't help but reflect on these last few months and the rollercoaster we've been on, which we now know, so many people have also experienced. After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home.”
She added, “Every family's journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith, and while ours was a challenging few months, what becomes abundantly clear, in retrospect, is how precious and perfect every moment is. We are overjoyed that our little girl is finally home, and just want to thank every Doctor, nurse and specialist at Rady Children's La Jolla and Cedar Sinai, Los Angeles, who were there selflessly every step of the way. Our next chapter begins now, and our baby is truly a badass. Let's get it MM! Mommy and Daddy love you.”
