Mumbai: Global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas has always been vocal about feminism, equality, and breaking societal stereotypes. In a powerful statement, the actress recently advised men:
“Don’t look for a virgin girl to marry. Instead, look for someone who is civilized. Virginity can be lost in a night, but values and behavior define a person.”
This remark, made over a year ago but now going viral again, has stirred both admiration and criticism. While many hailed her for promoting progressive thinking, others—particularly some men—criticized her for challenging traditional beliefs about female purity.
In response to the backlash, some argued sarcastically that women, too, should stop caring about men’s wealth while choosing a husband. But Priyanka remained unfazed. A long-time advocate for gender equality, she clarified that her statements are not meant to belittle men but to encourage equal rights and mutual respect.
Speaking about her own marriage, Priyanka expressed pride in her husband Nick Jonas, who, despite being younger than her, treats her with love, dignity, and unwavering support. The couple got married in 2018 at a royal palace in Jodhpur, in a lavish ceremony that blended Indian tradition with Western elegance.
Once rumored to be linked with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka has since moved beyond the gossip and says she’s found true happiness with Nick. Their relationship, according to her, is based not on age or status, but mutual understanding and emotional strength.
In an era where societal expectations still place undue focus on a woman’s virginity before marriage, Priyanka’s statement is a refreshing call to shift priorities—from outdated norms to personal character and behavior.
