Nick Jonas Wins Over Madhu Chopra
Madhu also shared an interesting anecdote about her son-in-law, Nick Jonas, and how he won her over. “Priyanka didn’t tell me about the wedding. I found out about her and Nick through the news. When I asked her, she assured me that she would inform me if something serious was happening. Later, when she came to India with Nick, he was very polite and serious, so I didn’t suspect anything. One day, Nick took me out for lunch and asked what kind of man I wanted for Priyanka. I gave him my checklist, and he said, ‘I am that man. Can I be that person? And I promise you that none of these boxes will remain unticked.’ I was amazed and very happy.”
