On Purpose with Jay Shetty<\/p>\n

Priyanka Chopra<\/a>‘s revealing more details about her daughter Malti’s difficult birth … including how her skin was a bright purple color when she was born.<\/p>\n

The actress and model appeared on the show “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” — a mental health-focused podcast — and she related how learning Malti would be born at 27 weeks made her “shut down.”<\/p>\n

Priyanka says her daughter was born purple … and her mouth was so small it seemed impossible for the medical staff to intubate her at first. Malti needed six blood transfusions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Over the next 110 days, Priyanka says she, her husband Nick Jonas<\/a> and Malti were in and out of the hospital … during which time, Priyanka says she couldn’t allow herself to feel fear — because she knew her daughter would feel even more terrified than she did.<\/p>\n

Malti — who Priyanka says everyone told her looked exactly like Nick — was still very small when they brought her home … but she ultimately survived.<\/p>\n

As you may know … Malti turned 4 just last month — and Nick recently said that every day with their baby girl is a “gift.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Priyanka Chopra Daughter Was Born ‘Purple’ … Had 6 Blood Transfusions Published February 25, 2026 9:47 AM PST…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499417,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":["post-499416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499417"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
