Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, who got married in 2018, have been serving major couple goals ever since, constantly sharing sweet moments with each other and their daughter, Malti Marie, on social media. One of the memorable moments came when Priyanka changed her name to Priyanka Chopra Jonas and later revealed the heartwarming reason behind it. Let’s revisit that special moment!

In her memoir, Priyanka Chopra is credited with her full name, Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Earlier, reflecting on the decision, she shared that adding Jonas to her name was a way to honor her family’s traditions without losing her identity. Speaking on the Chicks In The Office podcast, Priyanka expressed that while she kept her own name, she embraced her husband’s as a tribute to both families.

She also mentioned the beautiful legacy she inherited with her new name, which she hopes to uphold. The Citadel actress further shared her reaction to seeing her new name in print for the first time. She recalled feeling a mix of surprise and realization, saying that when she saw ‘Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ for the first time, it hit her that this was now her name.

Priyanka expressed her hopes for a future where men might take their partner’s last names or the tradition of name-changing becomes optional for everyone and said, “Hopefully, in another 50 years, it’ll be guys taking our names too, or just not changing our names, and that’ll be normalized. But I don’t think I was at that place when I got married, I kind of wanted to honor my parents’ tradition and that’s just how it happened.”

She emphasized that while she wasn’t pressured into changing her name, it was something she chose as a way to honor her parents’ traditions. The actress further shared that her identity had been her own for so long that there was no chance she would ever lose her last name. By adding Jonas to her name, she found a way to honor tradition without compromising the identity she had built over the years.

Priyanka Chopra recently shared a nostalgic collage on social media, featuring a monochrome photo from her childhood and another from her Miss India win at 17. In the first image, a 9-year-old Priyanka sports a boy-cut hairstyle, which her mother Madhu Chopra found practical for school.

Govinda has been a massive star in the 90s who continues to enjoy a mammoth amount of stardom. One can only dream of having a career graph like him. While his humility has been lauded by many, Salman Khan in an earlier conversation had once recalled how the Hero No 1 actor made him ‘feel so small’ with his kind nature.

Salman Khan made an appearance on Karan Johar’s Koffee With Karan in 2019. During the conversation, the actor talked about the initial phase of his career. He went on to mention he was quite inspired by Kumar Gaurav, and secondly, it was Govinda who influenced his thinking while he was still trying to make a name for himself.

Recollecting memories of his meeting with the star, Salman revealed while he was modeling, Govinda had done movies like Love 86 and Ilzaam. He noted after Mithun Chakraborty, the Hadh Kar Di Aapne actor was the next big thing, and he was on the “next level altogether.”

The actor continued by sharing, that while he was modeling for smash t-shirts, Govinda came into the studios in an all-white avatar. The Sikandar actor detailed he was wearing white pants, boots, a belt, and a gold chain.

 “He came into the makeup room, and I told him ‘Hey man, doing some really good work’, like I am some superstar. Then he held my hands and was repeatedly saying ‘thank you sir..thank you, sir’. He made me feel so small,” said Khan.

Govinda and Salman Khan have worked together in David Dhawan’s celebrated comedy film, Partner. Released in 2007, the film featured Katrina Kaif, Lara Dutta, Rajpal Yadav, and Dalip Tahil in the key roles. The film narrates the story of Bhaskar (Govinda) who is helped by Prem (Salman) to woo his boss, Priya (Katrina Kaif).
