Malti Marie’s desi moments in Priyanka's dump from lehenga, Idli & ‘Jai Jai Bhagwanji’ cannot be missed

Priyanka Chopra Jonas may spend much of her time flying between countries, film sets and global events, but her latest social media post shows where she feels most at home. The actress recently dropped a series of personal pictures from the last few weeks, and while the glimpses of her busy life caught attention, it was her little daughter Malti Marie who quietly stole the show.

From glamorous outings to little family moments

Priyanka summed up the photo dump with a simple caption: “Last few weeks… been around the world and finally home for a minute.” The carousel moves effortlessly between her work life and everyday family moments. There are glamorous pictures of Priyanka, a relaxed Nick Jonas enjoying some pool time and several candid glimpses of Malti.

But it is the tiny details that make the post feel especially personal. Priyanka is seen carrying Malti while the little one happily digs into idli, offering a peek into the family's home routine. In another frame, Malti appears in a lavender dress while praying in front of a picture of Priyanka's late grandfather, Ashok Chopra.

Malti’s Indian side shines through

If there was one recurring theme in the carousel, it was Malti's connection with her mother's roots. Despite growing up between India and the US, the little girl appears to be getting plenty of exposure to Indian traditions.

One picture shows Malti dressed in a colourful chaniya choli, while another captures her standing before a beautifully decorated home shrine. Priyanka added the caption “Jai jai bhagwanji” to the latter, making the moment even more endearing.

From enjoying Indian food to dressing traditionally and being introduced to family rituals, Malti seems to be embracing these little pieces of her mother's world. These seemingly ordinary moments also reveal Priyanka's softer side, away from the red carpets and cameras.

Priyanka’s packed professional calendar

The family time comes as Priyanka continues to balance an increasingly busy international career with her return to Indian cinema. She will headline SS Rajamouli's Varanasi as Mandakini, opposite Mahesh Babu and alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran and Shruti Haasan. The ambitious action-adventure reportedly moves across different eras and locations, with its theatrical release scheduled for April 7, 2027.
