Priyanka Chopra Jonas has opened up about her daughter’s burgeoning sense of style, lauding the choices made by her four-year-old, Malti. Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at the InStyle Imagemaker Awards in Los Angeles, the actress emphasised the importance of giving her child autonomy in exploring her fashion preferences.
Chopra Jonas remarked on her daughter’s innate flair for fashion, stating, “I already feel she has inherent style — she picks her own clothes. We’ve always given her agency, and she always is well turned out.” This parenting approach appears to be paying off, as the proud mother believes Malti is navigating her individual style with confidence, even at such a young age.
The actress, who shares her daughter with husband Nick Jonas, welcomed Malti via surrogate in January 2022, three years after their wedding. Although the couple has largely maintained their daughter’s privacy, glimpses into their family life are often shared on social media. Photos shared by Chopra Jonas highlight both the joy of family and moments of playful childhood.
The couple strives for a balanced parenting dynamic, with Chopra Jonas praising Nick Jonas for being a nurturing and hands-on father. In a previous interview with Vogue Arabia, she described her husband as actively involved in their daughter’s upbringing, sharing an anecdote about him styling Malti’s hair for “silly hair day” at school. “Our baby is like a magnet to us, and we run to her wherever we are in the world,” she noted, expressing the warmth and dedication both parents feel toward their daughter.
At the recent award ceremony, Chopra Jonas received the Woman of Impact Award for her advocacy on and off-screen, which focuses on amplifying women’s voices and addressing stereotypes within the film industry. Reflecting on this accolade, she mused about what her younger self would think of her current achievements. “I don’t think she’d believe it,” Chopra Jonas said, acknowledging how far she has come in her career.
She also expressed how her initial ambitions felt somewhat out of reach during her youth, stating, “I never thought this happens to everyday people… I think she would have been more than anything, really surprised by my will to survive, my tenacity.” This reflection serves as both a testament to her personal growth and an inspiration for her daughter.
As Malti continues to grow, Chopra Jonas hopes to instil values of self-awareness and confidence in her, particularly when it comes to her appearance. “When it comes to beauty, you just have to know who you are and have a sense of self, and that always ends up being confident and beautiful,” she explained.
As the family navigates the complexities of parenthood, Chopra Jonas and Jonas maintain a supportive environment for Malti to find her voice and express herself. While their daughter may be young, the couple believes in equipping her with the tools to develop her individuality further as she grows.
With both parents actively involved in Malti’s life, it is clear that the bonds they share are rooted in love, understanding, and shared values. The couple’s dedication to parenting, alongside Chopra Jonas’s commitment to advocating for women, highlights the multifaceted nature of her life—balancing family, career, and a mission to empower others.
