    Nick Jonas admires Priyanka Chopra's "willingness to get her hands dirty"

    The 33-year-old star has heaped praise on his wife, recalling one particular incident when she was injured on the set of Citadel, the spy action series.


    Nick told Variety: "A camera matte box accidentally hit her in the eyebrow during the action sequence.

    "She was bleeding, and I get a call that she's been injured. I'm freaking out. But then she basically was like, 'We need that to get this scene. I'm gonna tough it out.' And she stayed in there and just grinded it out. Her determination, her grit, her willingness to get her hands dirty, really shows on the screen.

    "You can feel her passion, her drive and the care that she brings to each role she plays. It's a pretty big honour to get that front-row seat and get to watch her brilliance."

    Priyanka, on the other hand, has confessed to feeling inspired by Nick's sincerity.

    The actress - who married Nick in 2018 - shared: "He doesn't feel the need to deviate from that sincerity for anything or anyone.

    "He is himself and comfortable in it, and I really learned how to be a lot more comfortable in my awkwardness and my insecurities since I got married to him. It really continues to be inspiring to me, this sincerity. We don't see it often enough anymore, that deep truth when you just start talking to someone. You're like, 'Oh, this person is completely transparent.'"

    The loved-up couple welcomed their first child via a surrogate in January 2022, and Nick previously admitted that fatherhood has changed his "perspective" on life.

    The chart-topping singer - who performs alongside his siblings, Joe and Kevin, in the Jonas Brothers - told People: "I think that, for me, becoming a parent changed everything in my life and my perspective on everything. That's a natural thing obviously that will happen."
