My husband left top of the year, but I didn’t let my mom go. She was here with my husband during the holidays so that we could be together. I woke up by 10, had a quick workout and then I had luxurious brunch with my mom, who is living in London with me. I’ve watched a lot of the Oscar contenders - “Sound of Metal,” “Da 5 Bloods,” “One Night in Miami.”įinally I had some semblance of a morning in I don’t even know how long. I recently finished “The Undoing,” “The Boys” and “Bridgerton” but I’m also really into movies after dinner. I haven’t been able to commit to a TV show because of how busy my schedule is. But most of my reading I do with both in mind. I do love to get out of work mode and just enjoy content for what it is. This is based in Australia, and it’s about a Sri Lankan immigrant, and it’s a thriller from his perspective. Right now I’m reading “Amnesty,” Aravind Adiga’s next novel. So I found a corner of my room with a fireplace where I do all my Zoom calls.īefore bed I always need a few hours to unwind, and this is usually when I watch TV or read. I think I was one of the earlier people to commit to the fact that we’re going to be working off Zoom for a really long time. I filmed three talk show interviews - Kelly Clarkson, Lilly Singh and Ellen - and I recorded a few podcasts and did several phone interviews. My days for the past two weeks have been back-to-back with recording my audiobook and promo, and it takes 12 to 13 hours a day. As someone coming from a country who has had many females in high positions of power, it’s awesome to see the U.S. Not only should leadership look like this, but also sound like this. It was a very emotional time for a lot of my friends and family in America, and I felt very excited about the fact that the country is stepping into the right direction in terms of leadership. I watched the inauguration, and I think I felt exactly what the world was feeling. I’m not one of those people who’s like, “Oh my gosh, I enjoy it so much that I need it.” I listen to Hindi rap, like Raftaar and Divine, while I work out. I started getting consistent with working out during quarantine. My days start with a workout, usually on Zoom with my trainer. I try and pick up the books everyone’s talking about, because I don’t really have the luxury of time to discover my own favorites. This ritual is ultimately what led me to “The White Tiger.” There was so much chatter around it in literary circles. On a languid day, maybe it would be half an hour. I need five or 10 minutes to orient myself to the fact that I’m waking up. Then I check out the news and scroll through Twitter usually still when I’m in bed. The first thing I do is press the Nespresso button and smell the aroma of coffee, and that’s how my eyes open. My coffee machine is in my bedroom, right by my bed. So the only thing routine-y about my schedule is I always make sure I have at least eight hours of sleep. In our profession, my routine is dictated by the schedule that my team decides for me, predominantly. These are edited excerpts from the conversation. In a phone call in late January from her home in London, Chopra Jonas tracked the recent routines and cultural items that are keeping her busy. Through it all, Chopra Jonas was still finding room for some self-care and shut-eye, “which has to be scheduled time, because otherwise I would never get sleep,” she said. As quarantine fatigue curtailed our enthusiasm for crafting and Kondo-izing, she was in London shooting the romantic drama “Text for You” alongside Sam Heughan and Celine Dion.īy the time a lot of us had been rendered bloblike, Chopra Jonas was in overdrive, simultaneously promoting three projects: her Netflix movie, “The White Tiger,” adapted from Aravind Adiga’s Booker Prize-winning rags-to-riches novel about a self-made Bangalore businessman her memoir, “Unfinished,” which chronicles her 38 years, including her reign as Miss World and breakthrough into Bollywood and eventually Hollywood and her new sustainable hair care line, Anomaly.Īs if that weren’t enough, she was prepping to shoot “Citadel,” a spy series directed by the Russo brothers for Amazon, which had been delayed a year because of Covid restrictions. While others were perfecting their sourdough starters last spring, Chopra Jonas decided to write her first book - and finished it. Priyanka Chopra Jonas isn’t the kind to let a minute of her life slip away, even when life is on lockdown.
