Priyanka Chopra, who recently featured on the cover of British Vogue, also did a photoshoot with her daughter Malti Marie. The actress talked about motherhood extensively in the interview. Priyanka Chopra, who welcomed her first child, via surrogacy last year, revealed that her daughter Malti Marie had to be delivered preterm, which led to a few health complications. "I didn't know if she would make it or not," Priyanka told Vogue recalling the time Malti Marie was born. "I was in the OR (operating room) when she came out. She was so small, smaller than my hand. I saw what the intensive-care nurses do. They do God's work. Nick (husband Nick Jonas) and I were both standing there as they intubated her. I don't know how they even found what they needed to intubate her. We spent every single day with her on my chest, on my husband's chest. I didn't know if she would make it or not," recalled Priyanka Chopra.
