In a recent candid interview, actor and model Mannara Chopra offered heartfelt insights into her changing dynamic with her globally renowned sister, Priyanka Chopra Jonas. She also shared delightful updates about Priyanka's daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, describing her as a 'proper LA baby' who is beginning to pick up Hindi.
A Sisterly Bond Transformed
Speaking to Filmygyaan, Mannara Chopra reflected on the profound shift in her relationship with the Aitraaz actor over the past few years. She revealed that while their earlier interactions were marked by fun and lighthearted giggling, a deeper, more emotional connection has now taken root. "There's some kind of change which is internally there within me. That shift is taking place," Mannara confessed, highlighting the introspective nature of this evolution.
She elaborated on Priyanka's current role in her life, moving beyond just a sister to a mentor. "She is like that calming factor... she will guide you in a way which is so proper," Mannara stated. Recalling a recent meeting during Priyanka's visit to India in December 2025, she described how she now finds herself seeking comfort and wisdom from her sister, often leading to emotional embraces she referred to as 'Ek jaadu ki jhappi' (a magical hug).
Malti Marie: The Adorable 'LA Baby'
The conversation naturally turned to Priyanka and Nick Jonas's daughter, Malti Marie. Born in January 2022, Malti has been a constant source of joy for fans, especially since a video of her speaking Hindi went viral last year. Mannara provided an update on the toddler's linguistic skills after meeting her at a family wedding earlier in 2025.
"She is a proper LA baby," Mannara said with affection, noting that Malti's primary language of communication is English. However, she confirmed the little one is indeed learning her mother's tongue, adding, "Of course, she has picked up a few words of Hindi." Mannara expressed excitement about watching Malti grow, promising to share more after their next meeting.
Priyanka as a Pillar of Support
When probed about whether she views Priyanka as a godmother figure, Mannara's response was rooted in familial love. "She is my sister, I would say," she affirmed, but her following words painted a picture of a relationship that encompasses guidance and profound support. She described Priyanka as someone before whom you can "take your heart out" and share your deepest feelings without fear of judgment.
This revelation about their strengthened bond comes alongside other family disclosures, such as Nick Jonas's recent recollection of the 'frightening' early days of parenthood, where he hailed Priyanka as a saint. Mannara's interview adds another layer to the public understanding of Priyanka Chopra Jonas not just as an international icon, but as an anchoring, guiding force within her own family.
The emotional depth shared by Mannara indicates a maturation of their sisterly ties, moving from shared laughter to shared strength, with the adorable Malti Marie serving as a joyful new link in their close-knit family chain.
