Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently offered a glimpse into her everyday essentials and the items she carries in her bag. Known for her candid, classy, and honest demeanor, she revealed a thoughtful mix of practical items and deeply personal keepsakes.
Protective Charm and Spiritual Keepsakes
Among the standout items was a simple black thread, which she described as a protective charm rooted in Indian tradition. In a video for Vogue, she explained, "In India, we wear black. This is a nazar battu (evil eye) which is like an evil eye bracelet. You wear a little black thread. In India, we believe that it keeps away the evil away. I just like wearing them together. The more you can do to protect yourself… Why not?"
Alongside everyday essentials like perfume, hairspray, and sunglasses, Priyanka also carried something more spiritual: a small booklet of the Hanuman Chalisa. Holding it up, she shared, "This is my Hanuman Chalisa, which is a prayer to Lord Hanuman. You're supposed to say it every day. I don't do it every day, but I try as much as I can. But I also feel like it protects me in all my travels."
Sentimental Wallet and Practical Additions
Her wallet also held sentimental value, including a photo from 2018 with her husband, Nick Jonas. Adding a relatable touch, she spoke about always carrying a stain remover pen. "And here's my tide pen (stain removal), I always carry my tide pen. I can't be trusted with couture. I stained my Golden Globes Dior dress because I was eating pizza. So, I used it instantly and was good to go," she said.
Priyanka also revealed a recent addition to her bag: an EpiPen, after developing allergies. "I developed allergies this year. This is a new addition in my bag, but a crucial one. I can't tell you what I am allergic to, because then literally everyone will know how to kill me! I don't want that. There's also my inhaler, because I have asthma," she said.
Labeling Belongings and Final Thoughts
Another detail that caught attention was her habit of labeling her belongings, including her portable charger. Explaining the reason, she said, "It is labelled, so that it doesn't get stolen in a busy household. I label everything. I label drawers, I label closets, I label everything because my husband will put it in his bag otherwise."
This candid peek into her bag reveals a blend of tradition, practicality, and personal touches that define Priyanka's approach to life and travel.
