JAKARTA - Nick Jonas once asked Priyanka Chopra to send a photo at that time. He wanted to make sure the person who sent him a message was really Priyanka, not someone else who used the actress's identity.
USA Today, quoted on Saturday, July 18, said Priyanka told the story when she appeared on the "Hey Jonas!" podcast on July 14.
"He wanted to make sure it was really me. So, he asked me to send a photo right away while looking at the camera. The photo also had to show the time of the shot," said Priyanka.
The 43-year-old "Baywatch" star felt Nick had been suspicious of her from the start. Although a little upset, she also appreciated the careful attitude.
"I thought, 'This person is already suspicious of me.' It's annoying, but I also appreciate it," he said.
Their initial communication began when Nick saw Priyanka's face on a billboard for the series "Quantico" on Sunset Boulevard. Kevin Jonas had previously asked if Nick had ever watched the series.
After seeing the billboard, Nick opened Twitter, now called X, to check if Priyanka followed him.
"It turns out you were following me. After that, I sent a direct message," said Nick.
Joe and Kevin Jonas, Nick's brothers and hosts of "Hey Jonas!", then read the couple's first conversation in front of the audience. In the message, Nick subtly invited Priyanka to continue communication outside of Twitter.
They continued to message, but only started dating about a year and a half later. Priyanka and Nick first met in person at the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar party.
When planning the first date, Nick deliberately invited a number of friends so that the atmosphere was not too tense. He invited Priyanka to watch the "Beauty and the Beast" show at the Hollywood Bowl with the group.
"I thought, let's invite some friends so that the pressure is reduced. So, it's like a joint event if the atmosphere doesn't suit you," Nick said in the "Therapuss" podcast in March.
Priyanka came with her best friend. Nick invited Kevin and two of their friends, Greg and Paris.
Kevin confirmed the story. He admitted that he tried hard to help Nick approach Priyanka until he vomited in the bathroom.
"I helped out. I threw up in the bathroom, then came back again," Kevin said on the podcast "Hey Jonas!" in June.
Priyanka and Nick married in December 2018 after getting engaged in a short time. They were blessed with a daughter named Malti through a surrogate mother in 2022.
