The Heads of State star names laundry as her least favorite household chore

Her mother-in-law Denise Miller-Jonas “tried to teach me once, but that was just my way of getting her to do my laundry for me,” she admits
Priyanka Chopra Jonas may be an accomplished screen star, activist and former Miss World, but she has a least favorite household task just like everyone else.
“Laundry is a hard chore for me. I find it tough,” the Heads of State actress, 42, tells PEOPLE. “I’ll always try to get someone else to do it.”
In fact, Chopra Jonas is perfectly candid in recalling one such person: Denise Miller-Jonas, mother of her husband Nick Jonas.
“I can steam an iron, I can fold,” explains the Citadel star. “But just getting through the process of laundry is just really tough. Too many buttons, too many choices, too many little things. … My mother-in-law tried to teach me once, but that was just my way of getting her to do my laundry for me!”
Chopra Jonas adds with a laugh that following her PEOPLE interview, she plans to give her mother-in-law a heads-up that she disclosed that story. “I’m going to call her right now and tell her I said this. ‘Just want you to know!’ ”
Since marrying Miller-Jonas’ son in 2018, Chopra Jonas has been close with her mother-in-law, sharing occasional photos of family outings with 3-year-old daughter Malti Marie on social media.

The Quantico star once revealed that Nick, 32, and his family tuned into the 2000 Miss World pageant she had won.
“My mother-in-law was like, ‘I remember watching you when you won,’ ” Chopra Jonas said on The Jennifer Hudson Show in 2023. “He was 7, I was 17. And he was sitting there, and he was watching,” she said at the time, calling that fact “unfathomable.”
Chopra Jonas stars in Ilya Naishuller–directed Heads of State with John Cena as the U.S. president and Idris Elba as the U.K. prime minister. The action-comedy is streaming now on Prime Video. Among Chopra Jonas’ other upcoming screen projects are The Bluff starring Karl Urban and Judgment Day starring Zac Efron and Will Ferrell.
