Priyanka Chopra’s revelation: Why does the actress keep her daughter Malti away from the public eye? Told that scary incident of stalker

Global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas is very active in her professional life and social media, but when it comes to her daughter Malti Mary Chopra Jonas, she is seen in the role of a ‘protective’ mother. Recently in a podcast, Priyanka shared a very disturbing incident regarding her daughter’s privacy and explained why she has now deployed tight security for Malti.Speaking on ‘Not Skinny But Not Fat’ hosted by Amanda Hirsch, the actor said she and her husband Nick Jonas are committed to maintaining their daughter’s anonymity as she grows up.

Chopra said that there is bound to be public curiosity about Malti, but she wants her daughter to have the freedom to decide how much of her life she shares with the world. “As she’s growing up, we’re starting to get a little distracted,” Chopra said. She added, “She travels a lot, so we let her remain as anonymous as possible. It’s normal for her, and people will be curious to know about her. I never want her to be afraid of it or be suspicious of people she meets. It’s okay for her to know, but it’s important to have a sense of choice.”

The actor revealed that the family decided to hire security after a disturbing incident when a stranger recorded Malti following her from school.

According to Chopra, that moment solidified the need to create clear boundaries for her daughter’s privacy and safety. “When there is security around us, it is mainly to ensure that she is not recorded without her consent because it happens a lot,” she said, adding, “I have always believed that I have chosen public life.”

However, he also said that his daughter should also have the same choice. Priyanka said, “When it comes to children, this is a new phenomenon. Over the last 10 to 20 years, we have all been learning what it will be like for them to grow up in the public world in the future. There needs to be some leniency for everyone, but also an awareness of safety and what it means.”

 

Chopra ended by admitting that it’s natural to be curious about celebrity kids, but stressed that Malti’s well-being will always come first. “Curiosity is great, but her safety is my priority,” he said.
