The actress, who has stated that she is unconcerned about what others think of her, has also stated that she cannot tolerate it when the public criticises her little daughter. "When people talk about me, I've created a thick exterior. But it hurts so much when they bring up my daughter. 'Keep her out of it,' I say. I remember how it felt to grasp her small hands while they were attempting to find her veins. So, no, she's not going to be the gossip," Priyanka said. "I've been quite protective of this stage of my life with my kid. Because it isn't just about my life. It is hers too," she added.

Priyanka Chopra also talked about Malti Marie's health condition
In her interview with Vogue, Priyanka Chopra also discussed Malti Marie's medical condition and the struggles she had as a newborn. The actress disclosed that her daughter was delivered prematurely, a full trimester ahead of her due date. "When she was born, I was in the operating room. She was little, hardly bigger than my hand. I seen what the nurses perform in the intensive-care unit. They carry out God's will. Both Nick and I were standing nearby as they intubated her. I'm not sure how they located what they needed to intubate her in her little physique "remembered the actor.
Malti Marie was born during the Omicron wave that rocked the United States in 2022, making life more difficult for the pair. Both Priyanka Chopra and Nick were required to attend the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Rady Children's Hospital in La Jolla, Los Angeles, on a daily basis for the following three months, according to Priyanka Chopra. "Every day, we spent with her on my chest and my husband's chest. I wasn't sure if she'd make it or not "The actress stated.
