Priyanka Chopra Reveals Harrowing Details of Daughter's Birth
25 Feb
Summary
- Malti was born prematurely at 27 weeks, appearing purple.
- The infant required six blood transfusions during her hospital stay.
- Priyanka Chopra managed her fear to shield her daughter from distress.
Priyanka Chopra has disclosed the severe complications surrounding her daughter Malti's premature birth. Appearing on the podcast "On Purpose with Jay Shetty," Chopra recounted that learning Malti would be born at 27 weeks caused her to shut down emotionally.
Malti was born with purple skin, and her tiny mouth posed a challenge for medical staff attempting to intubate her. The infant endured six blood transfusions during her initial hospital stay.
Over the subsequent 110 days, Malti, along with Chopra and her husband Nick Jonas, frequently visited the hospital. During this period, Chopra consciously avoided showing fear, believing her daughter would be more sensitive to it.
Despite her diminutive size upon returning home, Malti has since recovered and is thriving. Nick Jonas recently expressed that every day with their daughter is cherished as a 'gift'.
