Priyanka Chopra Jonas has always been in limelight for good - and bad - reasons. The Bollywood star, who has made her way into Hollywood for a while now, is prepping to star in the famous Matrix franchise and its latest installment with Keanu Reeves. Other than that, she will also be seen in rom-com with none other than singing sensation Celine Dion. Chopra has managed to fly high when it comes to her career and it didn't come without a vision. 

Recently, in an interview with People, the Sky is Pink star shared how she always kept her career a priority and didn't really think about marriage in her 20s. “For a really long time, I was like, I don’t know. Being married was such an alien thought. But [now] I am so comfortable in it.”

The actor went on to add that while she was fascinated with the idea of being a bride, she was not sure what the relationship really meant. “I loved the idea of being married, I was fascinated with the idea of being a bride when I was a child without realising what it really meant. But when I got in my 20s, I said I have got things to do, I didn’t know what it would have meant. When you find the right person, everything is so comfortable and not everything is the effort I thought it would be.”

Chopra tied the knot with singer-actor Nick Jonas in 2018. The wedding took place at Jodhpur’s Umaid Bhavan Palace. The lavish wedding came after a whirlwind romance. When asked how do you find the right person, the Quantico star said, “You have got to stop looking, that is how it worked.”

In the same interview, the star spoke about yet another aspect of her personality that she is now comfortable with. “I’m very ambitious. When I was first growing up, I thought that that was seen as not really a good thing when a woman was too ambitious. And slowly over time, I realised that was my strength,” she said.
