Priyanka Chopra Jonas may have a shelf full of accolades, a thriving acting career across continents, and the title of Miss World 2000 under her belt — but when it comes to household chores, there’s one task she’s hilariously determined to avoid: laundry.
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, the 42-year-old actress and producer candidly confessed that despite her polished public persona, the washing machine remains her personal nemesis. “Laundry is a hard chore for me. I find it tough,” she said. “I'll always try to get someone else to do it.”
And as it turns out, that “someone” happened to be none other than her mother-in-law, Denise Miller-Jonas.
A Clever Swap and a Heartfelt Bond
Sharing a glimpse into their close-knit relationship, Priyanka revealed that her mother-in-law once offered to teach her the ropes of laundry. But in a twist worthy of a sitcom, Chopra Jonas had a different plan. “That was just my way of getting her to do my laundry for me!” she laughed, admitting that she let the tutorial play out just long enough before surrendering the job to Denise.
“I can steam an iron, I can fold,” she clarified. “But just getting through the process of laundry is just really tough. Too many buttons, too many choices, too many little things…”
Following the playful confession, Priyanka joked she needed to make a phone call right away. “I'm going to call her right now and tell her I said this. ‘Just want you to know!’” she added, laughing.
A Relationship Beyond the Spotlight
Since marrying Nick Jonas in 2018, Priyanka has maintained a warm and visible bond with the Jonas family. Denise, in particular, has often appeared in candid social media moments featuring the couple’s three-year-old daughter, Malti Marie. The affection is mutual. Back in 2023, on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Priyanka shared a touching moment when Denise recalled watching the young Indian contestant win the Miss World pageant in 2000. At the time, Nick was just seven years old, while Priyanka was seventeen.
“My mother-in-law was like, ‘I remember watching you when you won,’” Priyanka said, still awestruck at how time — and fate — brought their worlds together. “He was sitting there, and he was watching. Unfathomable.”
A Star With a Playful Side
While she may avoid the spin cycle at home, Priyanka Chopra Jonas continues to be in constant motion professionally. Her latest action-comedy Heads of State is now streaming on Prime Video, featuring John Cena as the U.S. president and Idris Elba as the U.K. prime minister. Directed by Ilya Naishuller, the film is yet another addition to her increasingly diverse filmography.
Up next, Chopra Jonas will be seen in The Bluff alongside Karl Urban and Judgment Day, co-starring Zac Efron and Will Ferrell — both projects that signal her growing influence in global cinema.
But amid all the Hollywood action, it's the quieter, personal anecdotes — like tricking your mother-in-law into doing the laundry — that remind fans why Priyanka remains one of the most relatable stars.
