While Priyanka said she has tried to remain apolitical throughout her life because she likes to "cheer for humanity", the Bollywood star could not deny the fact that Nick, 26, would make a great leader. "He's not afraid to use the word (feminist) and I love that," she said.

Priyanka, who got married to Nick in December 2018, previously praised the Sucker singer in April at Tina Brown's 10th Annual Women in the World Summit.

She said: "I call him 'Old Man Jonas'. That's my name for him 'OMJ'. He's such an old soul, extremely smart, so good for me because he grounds me so much. 'I'm a wild child, I do whatever I want, whenever I want and he always supports me."

As for her own qualifications, Priyanka was named one of Forbes’ 100 Most Powerful Women in the World in 2017, and is well-known for her philanthropic work. She’s also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and dedicates time to promoting education and women’s rights.
