Priyanka Chopra casually poses with a python, Nick Jonas’s reaction steals attention

Priyanka Chopra never shies away from doing something unexpected, and her latest social media post is proof. The actor recently shared a series of pictures where she’s seen confidently posing with a python wrapped around her shoulders.

In the carousel of images posted on Instagram, Priyanka appears relaxed and smiling while the large snake rests comfortably around her neck. She captioned the post with a cheeky line, “Notice a theme here… it’s ssssssubtle,” letting the humour slither right through her caption.

While some followers were startled by her calmness around the reptile, long-time fans know this isn’t new for her. Priyanka’s fascination with snakes dates back to her early days in the industry. She has mentioned in interviews before that she finds snakes “beautiful and misunderstood creatures,” a view that reflects her comfort in these new photos.

The post also included a few candid shots with her husband Nick Jonas, who appeared both amused and slightly cautious around the python. Their playful chemistry added warmth to the otherwise daring photoshoot.

Fans quickly filled the comment section with a mix of admiration and surprise. One user wrote, “Only Priyanka could make holding a python look this casual,” while another said, “Nick’s expression says it all.” Many also recalled her earlier photoshoots and film scenes where she handled animals effortlessly, calling this a “throwback to fearless Priyanka.”

The images highlight her adventurous side once again, blending glamour with boldness. It’s a reminder of how she often brings an unexpected twist to her public appearances — whether it’s through her fashion choices, career moves, or personal moments.

Priyanka will next be seen in The Bluff, where she plays a 19th-century Caribbean pirate. She’s also busy shooting for the second season of her web series Citadel. Back in India, she’s set to team up with SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu for their much-awaited project, tentatively titled GlobeTrotter. Most recently, Priyanka appeared in Heads of State alongside Idris Elba and John Cena. Directed by Ilya Naishuller, the film is now streaming on Prime Video.
