On January 21, 2022, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas announced the arrival of their first child through surrogacy. The couple, who married in India in December 2018 in a two-day event that included Christian and Hindu ceremonies, took to Instagram to share the good news with the world.
While PC and Jonas are busy taking care of their daughter and spending private time with her at their Los Angeles home, the Quantico star’s mother, Madhu Chopra, is yet to see her granddaughter.
Talking to an Indian media outlet, Madhu said that she has not met her granddaughter given the concerns around the baby's health and the coronavirus situation.
“I haven't seen her. I am here and she is in LA. We do Facetime once in a while. I think she is happy and joyous. This is all I can say for now. But maybe when I go and meet her in the middle of the year, I will be able to answer this better,” she said.
Madhu also said that she is waiting and hoping for her granddaughter to come to India. “I am always hoping. Never say never. It's her country, she could come," she added.
Sharing her joy of becoming a grandmother, Madhu said, “It is so joyful! I can't tell you how my heart just goes...I think it’s something that I have been waiting for, for a very long time. It has happened now and I cannot conceal my happiness. I don't even remember Priyanka and my son anymore. All I think about is the little one.”
While announcing the arrival of their child, Priyanka and Nick wrote on social media, “We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate. We respectfully ask for privacy during these special times as we focus on our family. Thank you so much.”
While the couple did not reveal the gender of the child, Priyanka’s cousin Meera Chopra had confirmed that they had a baby girl.
On the work front, Priyanka Chopra has several exciting projects in her bag, including the Amazon Prime series Citadel and Farhan Akhtar’s next directorial Jee Le Zaraa.
The singer jokingly texted Clairo saying, "Let's f**k her up," sparking an online frenzy
Why Charli XCX jokingly declared war on Peppa Pig after one viral comment
Highlights
What started as a playful celebrity game has turned into one of the internet's most unexpected viral moments, with Charli XCX jokingly threatening to "f**k up" Peppa Pig after the beloved cartoon character appeared to dismiss singer Clairo.
The exchange quickly spread across social media, drawing reactions from fans and fellow musicians, while turning an unlikely clash between a pop star and a fictional children's character into a trending talking point.
Peppa Pig's viral remark sparked the joke
The playful exchange began during Peppa Pig's appearance in Pitchfork's Over/Under game, where the animated character rated a selection of music artists.
While expressing admiration for acts including PinkPantheress and The Beatles, Peppa responded to Clairo by saying, "I don't know her," a line widely recognised as a reference to Mariah Carey's famous response when asked about Jennifer Lopez.
The remark, accompanied by a knowing glance at the camera, quickly gained traction online.
Charli XCX rushed to Clairo's defence
After seeing the clip, Charli XCX privately messaged Clairo, writing, "Let's f**k her up," alongside a screenshot of the viral post.
Clairo later shared the exchange on social media, prompting thousands of reactions from fans, many of whom responded with pig and bacon-themed jokes.
PinkPantheress, whom Peppa had praised in the original video, also joined the conversation, posting a message supporting Clairo.
As the exchange continued, Clairo responded to the growing attention with humour, replying to posts before eventually telling followers, "ok that's enoughhhhh lolllllllllll."
Some fans joked that the viral moment was the perfect opportunity for the singer to announce new music, though Clairo replied that she did not have anything ready to share.
Her most recent album, Charm, was released in 2024, with its accompanying tour concluding in 2025.
Charli XCX keeps her focus on new music
While the online joke continued to gather momentum, Charli XCX did not publicly add to the exchange.
Instead, the singer has been focusing on promoting her upcoming album, Music, Fashion, Film, which is scheduled for release on July 24.
Although fans speculated that one of the track titles could be a playful nod to the viral exchange, there has been no indication that the album references the light-hearted social media moment.
