Priyanka Chopra revealed during a podcast interview Thursday that her supportive husband Nick Jonas believes she&#8217;ll be the first in the family to win an Oscar.
The 38-year-old Indian actress admitted at the start of Variety&#8217;s Awards Circuit Podcast that everyone was still getting used to hearing &#8216;Jonas&#8217; at the end of her last name.
&#8216;It&#8217;s hard, you know. It&#8217;s an addition to an identity that I&#8217;ve had for 35-something years,&#8217; she said.
