Global icon, Priyanka Chopra Jonas often catches the limelight for both her personal as well as professional life. Apart from being an extremely talented actress, she is a philanthropist, author and entrepreneur, and she inspires many people with her work-life balance. Priyanka got married to her beau, Nick Jonas, on December 1, 2018. Later, in January 2022, the couple welcomed their daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, via surrogacy.
Recently, in a podcast with Dax Shepherd, Priyanka Chopra Jonas revealed that she froze her eggs in her early 30s so that she could continue to achieve success in her career. Mentioning that since she had not met the person she wanted to have children with, her mother, Madhu Chopra, who is an obstetrician-gynaecologist, advised her to freeze her eggs. Priyanka said:
"I felt such freedom, I did it in my early thirties and I could continue on an ambitious warpath, I wanted to achieve, and I wanted to get to a certain place in my career. Also, I had not met the person I wanted to have children with. So, with that anxiety-inducing, and with my mom who is an ob-gyn (obstetrician-gynaecologist) going, ’Just do it'.”

Priyanka Chopra also revealed that she did not want to date Nick Jonas at the beginning when he first approached her. Citing the reason behind the same, the actress shared that she always wanted to have kids, but she wasn't sure if Nick would want to have kids at the age of 25. Adding that she likes to spend time with kids and party with them more than adults, PeeCee said:
"I always knew I wanted kids and that was one of the reasons I didn’t want to date Nick because I was like I don’t know if he would want kids at 25. I love kids, I have worked with kids at UNICEF, I have volunteered at kids’ hospitals, I am like a kid whisperer, and I would rather spend time with children than with adults. I love kids, all our parties are kids and dogs friendly, at our house, you can bring them anytime.”
Further in the conversation, Priyanka mentioned that the biological clock is real and advised all her younger friends to save money and freeze their eggs. Sharing that it gets harder to get pregnant after 35, especially for women who have been working all their lives, she added that freezing their eggs will give them power over their biological clock. Elaborating on the same, she said:
“My mom had said this to me, and I did do it for myself as well. I tell all my younger friends that the biological clock is for real. It gets so much harder to get pregnant after 35 and to carry to term and all of that. Especially with women that have been working all their lives. I tell people you save money for a car, do it for this Christmas, this is the best gift you will give yourself because you are taking the power of your biological clock. You can work for till however long, your eggs will be of the same age as when you froze them.”
