Priyanka Chopra looks to doing more - Los Angeles Times Priyanka Chopra Jonas stars in Netflix’s new “The White Tiger” and has a memoir, “Unfinished,” publishing next week. (Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times) By RANDEE DAWN FEB. 3, 2021 5:30 AM PT A virtual interview reveals many things: When Priyanka Chopra Jonas calls in for a chat first thing in the morning, she’s fully made-up and fashionable, a fireplace roaring in the background. Turns out she’d gone glam for something else, a group interview ahead of her new memoir, “Unfinished,” and happily reveals that out of the camera view she’s sitting around in sweatpants. A veteran actor, Miss World 2000, former UNICEF goodwill ambassador and wife to a Jonas brother (Nick), Indian-born Chopra Jonas contains multitudes. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2021-02-03/priyanka-chopra-white-tiger-nick-jonas-memoir-unfinished 2/9 2/3/2021 Pageants, films, books. Priyanka Chopra looks to doing more - Los Angeles Times She also plays the most sympathetic character in Netflix’s new “The White Tiger,” a dark, funny, socially pointed thriller about a lowly servant who aspires to greatness in modern, tech-savvy India. Chopra Jonas recently spoke with The Envelope. I’ve never interviewed anyone who once was considered the most beautiful woman in the world. Is that memory the sort of thing you keep in your back pocket for days when you’re feeling low? [Chuckling] No, when I won Miss India and then Miss World, I was very insecure. I was gawky, and I used to be so introverted. When I won, it didn’t register in my brain — I didn’t rest on my laurels; I just went on to the next thing. I’ve always been competitive and ambitious. Miss World was a step in my ladder, but it was never a validation about how I felt about myself. You’ve become dedicated to feminist causes in the years since. Has that changed your opinion about beauty pageants? There’s two sides to that coin, and I agree with both of them. My pageant gave me a massive opportunity. In those two pageants — the only ones I’ve really ever been in — I was not reduced to my looks. I was taught to sharpen my wit, speak with eloquence, to engage with heads of state and journalists. You make it sound like finishing school. It was, because I came from high school. I was in my sneakers and jeans at that point. Suddenly, I was in stilettos and speaking to heads of states and having opinions on economies. I had to learn. It was either sink or swim. I had to choose to swim. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2021-02-03/priyanka-chopra-white-tiger-nick-jonas-memoir-unfinished 3/9 2/3/2021 Pageants, films, books. Priyanka Chopra looks to doing more - Los Angeles Times ADVERTISEMENT PAID CONTENT [Watch] This Illustrator’s Art and the Genesis GV80 Want to Evoke a... By Genesis Do things the way you want, not how you were taught. In “White Tiger,” we get a snapshot of an India many American viewers might not be familiar with — the servant culture. How accurate is it? The movie is a reflection on a class divide that exists around the world. This is an inside- out perspective of a man who is trying to pull himself out of the circumstances of his birth, and the hunger he has of ambition. That is what is important to focus on. I cannot ever comment on what is accurate or not for a country as large as India — but it is definitely accurate as the story of an underdog. That exists around the world. Before all of this — pageants and acting — you had planned to study aeronautical engineering. What was the appeal? My parents were both doctors, and I come from a very academic family. I knew at a very young age that I did not want to be a doctor. And I was an academic cockroach — I loved math, physics, science. As an 11-year-old, I flew for the first time on a military plane to meet my dad. I remember thinking, “How can you fly?” The aerodynamics of it was https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2021-02-03/priyanka-chopra-white-tiger-nick-jonas-memoir-unfinished 4/9 2/3/2021 Pageants, films, books. Priyanka Chopra looks to doing more - Los Angeles Times magical to me. So I remember leaning into physics. I was always fascinated with planes, and now I spend most of my life on them. ADVERTISEMENT You now have this enormous international celebrity, and two years ago you married someone who is also internationally famous. Did that familiarity with the spotlight provide some connection for you two early on? No, the celebrity of it was not even a conversation in our lives. We just met as a boy and girl. He slid into my DMs on Twitter and reached out to me. We loved the fact that we came from really large families, we have the same family values, the same ambitions, and we dream big. Also, we both don’t know how to cook. My husband can make great sandwiches, though, so we’ll survive. Your memoir, “Unfinished,” comes out next week from Penguin Random House. What, for you, remains unfinished? I want to take on roles that make me nervous and uncomfortable. I want to check in with my artistic self and lean in as a producer and tell the stories I want to see — female stories, South Asian stories. I want to be an entrepreneur. Probably have a family. There’s so much. I feel like it’s been 20 years that I’ve been doing this, but there’s so much that, God willing, given the opportunity I still want to do. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2021-02-03/priyanka-chopra-white-tiger-nick-jonas-memoir-unfinished 5/9 2/3/2021 Pageants, films, books.

  • Ana Salvatore Envision a Rainbow of Glittering Lights and 20000 Starry
    Time for Them to Fly? Ana Salvatore Envision a rainbow of glittering lights and 20,000 starry-eyed pre-teen girls screaming at the top of their lungs. I attended a Jonas Brothers concert last August and the energy of fans was mind- boggling. Bombarded with this teeny-bop fanaticism, my mind revisited a time when boy bands sent my hormones reeling. My heart spun back to my first concert ten summers ago starring the oh-so-dreamy Backstreet Boys. I was ten, and Nick Carter was a few years older. Just a few. But he was beautiful. His beach-blonde hair had a tendency to look perfectly disheveled and his bright blue eyes had Cupid sending arrows through my heart. Among Nick’s many big-screen moments that night, there was one on-camera appearance that I remember vividly: singing “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” and dancing with slight indecency, he had me love struck. The Backstreet Boys engendered in me the same magical and feverish obsession that defines Jonas Brothers fans. As is characteristic of boy band worship, fans live and breathe anything and everything that emanates J-O-N-A-S. But where do these obsessive-compulsive personalities come from? On the surface, girls are attracted to the brothers’ image as a band: drool-worthy good looks, a unique, punk-infused-prep style, and an energetic stage presence. Lured by these dazzling visuals, fans deem the trio rock n’ roll eye-candy. “They’re perfect, everything about them,” raves my fourteen year old sister. Encompassing this perceived perfection, however, is a much larger force of attraction: the two-dimensionality of it.

Don’t let your imagination run away with you: When we first meet someone, it’s easy to automatically start judging them.

  • Mr. Positive: a Jonas Brother Talks About His Battle with Diabetes Page 1 of 2
    Mr. Positive: A Jonas brother talks about his battle with diabetes Page 1 of 2 interview Mr. Positive: A Jonas brother talks about his battle with diabetes KidsHealth.org Updated: 06/11/08 8:52 AM Nick Jonas seems to have everything a guy could want: thousands of adoring fans, a skyrocketing career and a cool family, including Joe and Kevin, his band-mates in the Jonas Brothers. But Nick also has diabetes, a serious health condition that needs daily attention. Now 15, Nick first got sick while on tour in November 2005. He was losing weight, acting moody and feeling thirsty all the time. A blood test showed that he had diabetes and he spent several days in the hospital. Though he is healthy and feeling great now, back then he worried he might die. “I had an emotional breakdown since I really had no idea what diabetes was all about. I wondered, ‘why me?’ Then I asked myself, ‘why not me?’ and realized that I might be able to help other kids with diabetes.” In 2007, the Jonas Brothers performed at a Diabetes Research Institute fundraiser in New York City. During the show, Nick asked audience members to raise their hands if they had diabetes. Then he raised his hand, too, revealing for the first time publicly that he has type 1 diabetes. The crowd went wild. He even pulled up his T-shirt sleeve to show the audience the device he wears on his arm to deliver insulin to his body. (People who have diabetes have a problem with a hormone called insulin.

    - Advertisement - Cuties teams up with Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato and After- School All-Stars December 19, 2017 Cuties, the brand that pioneered California-grown mandarins, teamed up with After-School All-Stars, a leading national provider of daily, comprehensive tuition-free academic, fitness and enrichment programs for underserved families after-school, to deliver some California sunshine to kids enrolled in the program at Bowman Ashe/Doolin K-8 Academy in south Florida. Y100 DJ Frankie P and students enrolled in After-School All-Stars at Bowman Ashe-Doolin point to their favorite artists' signatures on 1 / 2 the Cuties Buddy Bench. The Buddy Bench was signed by Nick Jonas, Halsey, Logic, Demi Lovato and others at the Y100 Jingle Ball in Miami on Sunday. Cuties joined iHeart Media’s Jingle Ball concert tour at the BB&T Center Sunday in Miami to introduce the concert series’ first ever Cuties correspondents, Ayden and Ryan Soria, two brothers from Los Angeles. Ryan and Ayden were selected after submitting a video about what kindness means to them through Cuties’ 100 Days of Sunshine contest promoted during "ON" with Mario Lopez and Ryan Seacrest’s "AT Top 40." During the concert, Ryan and Ayden asked artists and celebrities from the popular tour to sign a custom-designed Buddy Bench. Buddy Benches were developed by an elementary student in Pennsylvania who wanted to eliminate loneliness and foster friendship on the playground. Students sit on the bench to signal to classmates that they’re looking for a friend to talk to or play with. Artists at the Jingle Ball tour, including Demi Lovato, Nick Jonas, Charlie Puth, Halsey and Logic signed the bench and added personal messages of encouragement to After-School All-Star students.
