While the city has gradually become home for the global star, she recently opened up about a terrifying experience last year when raging wildfires spread across California.Priyanka shared that she always keeps a \u201cgo-bag\u201d prepared, an emergency bag containing essential supplies, because she prefers to stay organised and know exactly where her important belongings are. However, the wildfire crisis forced her to confront what truly mattered.  <\/p>\n<p>Priyanka Chopra Jonas Opens Up About Daughter\u2019s 110-Day NICU Journey, Calls It Her Toughest Phase <\/p>\n<p> Recounting the moment her family had to evacuate their home, she told Joe Rogan, \u201cI remember standing in my room and just thinking for a second. My husband wasn\u2019t in town. So, he told me to pack a go-bag. Hearing that, I was like, \u2018How do I cram my whole life in a bag?\u2019 So many people lost their entire lives in those fires. It just made me think about what was really important.\u201dShe explained that the items she eventually chose to carry revealed what held the most emotional value for her.Priyanka added, \u201cThe stuff that I ended up taking, which was very telling later, was the stuff that had sentimental value. Of course, I took the passport, birth certificates and important papers. But I took our daughter\u2019s first haircut, and something I had from an old movie of mine. I took things that I felt I would not be able to replicate, which was so weird.\u201dLooking back at the scale of the disaster, the actor said the wildfire felt overwhelming and surreal. Recalling the wildfires, she said, \u201cIt was like a volcano. I could see it from our backyard. And the power and the enormity of it\u2026. We could see the hills from our house, and I could see it (the fire) completely taking over the hills.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After spending her childhood moving across different parts of India because her parents served as army physicians, actor-producer&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":332067,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[145331,321,153011,93,153015,153012,61,60,153016,111277,12072,13778,153014,153013],"class_list":["post-332066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-california-wildfires","tag-celebrities","tag-emergency-preparedness","tag-entertainment","tag-family-evacuation","tag-go-bag-essentials","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-los-angeles-home","tag-malti-marie-chopra-jonas","tag-nick-jonas","tag-priyanka-chopra","tag-sentimental-value-items","tag-wildfire-impact"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=332066"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332066\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/332067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=332066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=332066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=332066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
