Fangirl Friday: Priyanka Chopra Jonas

Heyo! Happy Friday! Today's subject is, in my opinion, the most beautiful woman in the world and an actress I very much enjoy watching, Priyanka Chopra Jonas

Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Nadia Singh, Citadel

=Remember when I said I'm a fan of the ENTIRE Jonas family? I truly meant it. Priyanka first came to my attention when she was in Quantico. I didn't watch the show while it aired, but I kept seeing her pop up in magazines in the supermarket, and I started crushing on her. I mean look at her. She is drop-dead gorgeous. I knew OF her for years, but I'll be so real, I didn't really become a fan of for her work at first. I became a fan when she married Nick Jonas, who, if you've been following this blog for a bit, you know I absolutely adore. Due to most of her work being in Indian Media, I have been unable to find a large chunk of her roles because I am just an American living in a country that only started appreciating foreign media in the last few years.

Honestly, I didn't see any of her work until 2020, but I've been hooked ever since. Her first role I saw was as Ms. Granada in We Can Be Heroes. I didn't even know she was in the movie when I decided to watch it. I was at the height of my Pedro Pascal fixation when I watched it. I'll be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of her performance after my first viewing, but she grew on me as I rewatched the film a few more times.

and husband, Nick Jonas, 2023

I feel the need to say I had no idea she had taken the Jonas name after marrying Nick until the credits rolled on We Can Be Heroes because why would she take his name when she's a well-established actor of her own merit? But seeing that she took the family name, it made me happy. Watching Priyank and Nick with their little family warms my heart. I could spend a whole post rambling about their family, but I will spare you this time.

I didn't see any of her other work until 2023 when the Jonas fixation part ii: electric boogaloo hit because I was trying to go through the entire Jonas family filmography. Hers included, obviously. I had been wanting to watch Citadel since I first saw the trailer for it, and when I did, I was HOOKED! I ended up binging the entire first season in one sitting and I regret absolutely nothing. I love it and have rewatched the season a few times. Priyanka plays Nadia Singh, a kickass international spy whom I would die for. I just showed my mom the show and she is also hooked on it. I am dying for season two. I love this universe so much. This role is definitely what made me fall in love with her as an actor. She is so fun to watch, especially her fight scenes.

The next film of hers I watched was Love Again, which I absolutely loved. I am not a huge fan of romcoms, but I actually enjoyed this one. I thought it was cute and fun. Her performance as Mira Ray was so good against her co-star, Sam Heughan. The film deals with moving on and finding love again after losing a partner tragically. Nick also has a cameo as one of Mira's dates gone wrong. Their scenes together are iconic. Mira Ray forever lives rent free in my head. I would recommend the movie to anyone. I recently rewatched it, falling in love with it all over again.

Then I watched Quantico, the show that put Priyanka on my radar in the first place. I've rewatched the show so many times. She portrays kickass hero, Alex Parrish, who has become one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. A good complex female character is always fun, especially when done well. Alex could potentially get a Fangirl Friday of her own at some point because I am in love with her. I wish Quantico got more seasons, but I think Alex got a pretty good ending and I am content with that. I do still vehemently hate Ryan Boothe, but that's for another post.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Noel Bisset

Most recently, she starred in Heads of State along with Idris Elba and John Cena. Again, Priyanka played an absolute badass. She was the knight in shining to Elba and Cena's damsels in distress. Her character, Noel Bisset, is an MI6 agent and is iconic. The movie is a fun watch, and I highly recommend it. Similar films have always portrayed the female lead as just a romantic interest, but her role in this film, she was so much more and pretty important to the story.

Can't end this post without talking about how well of a narrator Priyanka is. I've only seen Tiger, but I absolutely loved it. I hope she does more narrations in documentaries. Her voice is great for it, and it added to the visuals and the writing. She didn't just read words from a script, she gave real emotion. If you've seen the documentary, you know there are more than a few emotional bits. I believe she has at least two more documentaries that I definitely need to check out, but now she's become an actor I will keep up with regularly.

Priyanka and Malti Marie Chopra Jonas

I definitely need to see her roles in Indian media, and I will gladly check them out if I can find them. I love foreign media and think most, if not all, of them are always well done than American media. So I imagine when I finally do see those roles, I will enjoy them. If you have any ideas of how I can find said roles, please let me know. I just want to go through her entire filmography.

She also has been featured on a few songs and has quite a bit of a music career. It's a part of her career I've yet to explore. Might have to add her to my playlists.

This was a short one, but I hope you enjoyed me rambling about Priyanka. I cannot wait to see more of her work and appreciate her more as an actor. I would love to see her work with her husband more. I am very much looking forward to the next season of Citadel, but until then I will probably rewatch season one for the umpteenth time. I will probably make a post ranking my favorite roles of her once I've explored more of her filmorgaphy.

That Time A President Conducted Meetings from the Toilet

Happy Monday! Another week ahead. This week's weird moment from history is how President Lyndon B. Johnson conducted meetings and interviews while on the toilet. I learned way too much about LBJ while doing research for this post and it is going to be a LONG time before I write another weird history post about him. But there will be at least another one in the future. Man was weird. Quick history lesson for my non-Americans who may not know who LBJ is. Lyndon Baines Johnson was the 36th President of the United States. He assumed the position following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was president from 1963 til 1969. NOW if you're like me and you grew up with the rewatching the movie Forrest Gump over and over again your first introduction to LBJ might be when Forrest was being honored with the Medal of Honor and showed the president where he was "shot in the buttocks" during the Vietnam War.  I haven't watched Forrest Gump in years, but if you haven't...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

 Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas  premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are Basically the Same Person

I, a 21-year-old adult, is still a HUGE fan of the High School Musical franchise. In high school, had I been a better planner, I would have asked Lucas Grabeel to be my prom date. And even though I was older than most viewers, I did love Teen Beach Movie when it came out. In this post, I am going to explain how Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are basically the same person. Let's start at the beginning. You may know Zac Efron as Troy Bolton in the Disney Channel Original Movie (or DCOM), High School Musical and it's franchise. He is the attractive blue-eyed, protagonist of all three HSM movies. And I will admit that I was a huge fangirl for him in my youth. Honestly, now I can't stand him. But that's for another post. Zac portrayed Troy in all three HSM films, but he only sang in the last two. That's right. Zac Efron did not sing in the first HSM movie. That was the amazingly talented Drew Seeley whom I will love till the day I die. Similarly, Garrett Clayton pl...
