'Didn't know if she would make it,' Priyanka Chopra recalls featuring on British Vogue cover

For the first time, the actress talked about motherhood extensively in the interview and the hurdles the little one underwent whom Priyanka and her husband Nick Jonas welcomed via surrogacy. 

Priyanka revealed that her daughter Malti Marie had to be delivered preterm, which led to a few health complications.

"I didn't know if she would make it or not," Priyanka told Vogue recalling the time Malti Marie was born.

"I was in the OR (operating room) when she came out. She was so small, smaller than my hand. I saw what the intensive-care nurses do. They do God's work. Nick (husband Nick Jonas) and I were both standing there as they intubated her. I don't know how they even found what they needed to intubate her.

"We spent every single day with her on my chest, on my husband's chest. I didn't know if she would make it or not," recalled Priyanka.

Sharing her picture from the shoot with daughter Malti Marie, the global star wrote in her Instagram caption: "Another one of our many firsts together... MM. British Vogue, February 2023."

Announcing the arrival of their baby girl, the star couple shared a statement in January last year.

The statement read: "We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate. We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family. Thank you so much."

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas met at the grand fashion event Met Gala 2017, where they represented designer Ralph Lauren.

They got married at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in 2018. The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Malti Marie via surrogacy in January last year.
