Nick Jonas talks about how Malti was born underweight
The singer shared the emotions and experiences he and Priyanka went through after the birth of Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. Nick said, “She came into the world under very intense circumstances, which I’ve never really talked about. We were expecting her to arrive in April, the year she was born. Then we get a call that it’s going to be sooner… We got to the hospital and came out 1 pound, 11 ounces and purple basically.” He added how the nurses in the NICU resuscitated her and took care of her.
When Nick and wife Priyanka Chopra did 12-hour shifts for Malti
Nick revealed that every day, he and Priyanka would each do 12-hour shifts at the hospital till they brought Malti home. “It was Covid-19 time, and so my wife and I basically did 12-hour shifts at the hospital for 3.5 months. I can still smell it; there are always visceral things. It was both comforting and frightening to be there every day and to see other families going through a similar situation. She (Malti) fought every day for 3.5 months and slowly started to gain some weight. After six blood transfusions, she was doing great. We got to take her home after 3.5 months,” he added.
