Actor Priyanka Chopra is in Hyderabad to shoot for her Telugu debut Varanasi with SS Rajamouli. After having a relaxing Sunday by the pool with her husband Nick Jonas and daughter Malti Marie, the actor took to her Instagram on Monday to share a glimpse of it with fans.
Some fresh raw mango also seemed to be on the menu.
Priyanka Chopra’s Sunday was all about bikinis and raw mango
Priyanka took to her Instagram to share a glimpse of her Sunday, writing, “One of those rare times when a sunday actually felt like a Sunday.. and other randoms.” One picture showed the actor lazing by the pool in a robe as she soaked up the sun. Another showed her in a blue bikini, posing for a picture. It’s not just fans; even Ekta Kapoor seemed impressed, as she commented, “Such a superstar.”
Priyanka also posted a video of herself savouring kachi keri (raw mango) with red chilli powder, along with pictures of her lazing in the pool. “Not PC with her Desi snacks!” commented a fan, noticing the plate of raw mango by the pool, while another commented, “Is that kachi keri?” One sweet picture showed Malti cuddling up to her grandma, Madhu Chopra, and another of her helping her dad, Nick, cool down as they video-called Priyanka from the US. One video also shows ‘behave like a man’ written on a chalkboard, seemingly taken on set.
