In an era where privacy is becoming increasingly fragile, Priyanka Chopra Jonas has drawn a clear line when it comes to protecting her daughter Malti Marie. The world star, who is used to living under the constant scrutiny of the public, says that motherhood has changed her priorities, especially when it comes to safety and restrictions.In a recent interview with Variety, Priyanka explained why she uses a security team, clarifying that it has little to do with celebrity status or fear. “I feel good when people come up to me and take pictures, and they (guards) know that I like people who come to talk to me,” she said, stressing that she enjoys meeting fans.However, she added that her bodyguards are present “to make sure we are not being recorded without consent”.
“It’s the biggest thing for me when everyone has a cell phone”
Priyanka noted that in today’s digital world, everyone carries a camera, making it easy to capture and instantly share moments — often without permission. “It’s the biggest thing for me when everyone has a cell phone. It happens a lot, especially with my daughter. We’re in the park or eating ice cream and all of a sudden I’ll see it on the Internet,” she shared.The actor was also quick to dismiss the dramatic speculation about her safety.
“Otherwise, I don’t need it. No one will kill me,” she said frankly.
Priyanka Chopra’s sweet Sunday tradition with Nick and Malti Marie
Since welcoming Malti Marie in January 2022, Priyanka has offered occasional glimpses of her family life on social media, deliberately keeping her daughter’s face out of the public eye. For her, the security team acts as a buffer against digital intrusion, not a barrier between her and her fans. Basically, Priyanka’s position is simple – she wants her daughter to have a normal childhood. Whether it’s playing in the park or enjoying an ice cream, she believes these moments should remain personal, not viral.
