Los Angeles:

Actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas says she took a break from romantic relationships earlier than assembly husband Nick Jonas as she needed to determine her patterns and errors. During her look on Call Her Daddy podcast with host Alex Cooper, the actor opened up about her love life and the way at one level she went from “relationship to relationship”.

“I did not give myself time at all between relationships… I think I worked a lot and I always ended up dating the actors that I worked with. And I think that I just thought I had an idea of what a relationship should be like, and I kept seeking that and trying to fit the people that came into my life into my idea of that relationship,” the 40-year-old actor stated.

Looking again, the Citadel star stated although a few of her relationships ended actually badly, the individuals she dated have been “really wonderful”.

“After my ex (boyfriend) and before my husband, I literally took two years off.

And there was a big reason. I didn’t even date Nick at that time because I was just like I need to know why I keep repeating my mistakes.

“The repeating of the error was all the time feeling like, I have to be the caretaker, all the time feeling prefer it’s okay to cancel my job, my work, my assembly or my precedence to ensure that he is propped up,” Priyanka said.

The actor said she had normalised the idea of “giving the facility in such a skewed manner” that she never stood up for herself. “I actually would turn into like a doormat and I used to be like, ‘okay, that is fantastic.'” she added. Priyanka said she came to a realisation that getting into a new relationship soon after one ended wasn’t good for her.

“I reached some extent in my life the place I used to be like, what the f**okay are you doing? Like, that is getting self-destructive at this level once I had to decide on me, I needed to be like I do not owe nobody something besides my household and myself, the individuals who actually love me. “When you are in relationships where you stop recognising who you are, you stop having your own identity, or you stop knowing what is it what you want for yourself, what your goals are, then you are invisible. And, I just started feeling invisible in my relationships,” she added.

Priyanka married Jonas in December 2018. The couple welcomed their daughter Malti Marie in January 2022.
