.PriyankaChopra wants to continue breaking down racial and ethnic barriers in entertainment. “I want to commemorate the success and achievements of South Asians outside of India,” she tells British Vogue. “Why shouldn’t we be on the main stage?”
She insists that though she and her husband are temperamentally different people – “I talk a mile a minute and my husband does not” – their values align when it comes to parenting. Priyanka’s mother has been living with them for the past six months to help out. “My mom doesn’t know what’s happening in her own life, except for the baby,” she says. Madhu’s asleep upstairs, recovering from rotator cuff surgery, but soon will be down in time to feed her first grandchild dinner.
Malti starts to fuss and emits one lone cry. “She needs to roam,” declares her mother, so it’s off to the playpen. While Chopra Jonas apologises on more than one occasion for having to continue our interview in what is effectively Malti’s fun room, it’s clear that being with her child is her happy place. Her voice gets faster and more animated, toggling between cooing at her baby – “Do you want to walk? Run? What do you want to do?” – and talking about her upcoming projects.
“Hopefully I’ll open doors for the next generation of girls. Hopefully we’ll see more Indian or South Asian actors in Hollywood. I want to commemorate the success and achievements of South Asians outside of India, in the international sphere, because we deserve that position,” she asserts. “Why shouldn’t we be on the main stage?”
