biggest stars in the world.

She's a talented actor and producer,

who's just released her memoir, called "Unfinished."

It is available now. Here is Priyanka Chopra Jonas!

Priyanka, it is so good to see you.

Look at this. -It's so good to be back.

Real book, man. Look at that.

-Hey, by the way, not double-spaced, not a crazy font.

-Not pictorial, not a comic.

You know, like, real words, sentences. Damn!

-Great stories. Amazing.

I got to hop in. I got to get into this.

I have so many questions.

You've had a very productive quarantine.

You've had two movies.

Well, I mean, because, you know, I'm a fan.

You've had two movies come out on Netflix, giant hits.

You filmed two movies and an Amazon series.

And you finished a memoir about your life up to this point.

I'm sorry. Some people made bread, okay?

-I was home for six months, and that's when

the book happened, is when I wrote --

I wrote the book during quarantine.

But, you know, there's so many people

watching movies and content that, you know,

our industry is back at work.

I went back to work in October and finished two movies.

I'm starting my new TV show.

But, you know, I'm just grateful to be back at work, honestly.

It's been such a dreary time for everyone, being stuck at home,

and I feel grateful to be able to, you know,

keep creating content at a time when people really need it.

-Yeah, exactly.

By the way, I was going to thank you for that,

because, seriously, we do need content,

and anyone who is giving it to us, thank you.

We love it. -Including you.

Thank you for going back to the studio.

-I'm happy to talk to you. I'm happy to talk to people.

It's just great. And to see other people.

-People are great.

-I know. It's like, "Oh, my gosh."

You and your husband, Nick Jonas, who we love --

you usually travel a lot for work.

But it must have been really nice to have more time together.

It's, like, really kind of interesting.

-It's amazing.

I mean, it would have never happened.

We both have such crazy individual careers.

I don't think I have ever been home

for six months in almost 25 years.

-Last time he was on,

he was showing me his Baby Shark workout.

Dude, it's tough. Dude, he's in great shape, man.

Do you guys work out together?

-Initially, you know, I'm not someone

who's a fan of working out, like most people,

but when you're married to him, you know,

he wakes up in the morning bright-eyed, bushy-tailed,

and he'll wear his workout gear and go to do it.

So, you know, someone like me, who's laying in bed

and been watching TikToks for an hour,

is like, "Alright, I'm just gonna --

I'm gonna get up and try this thing."

But then he goes and makes you do the Baby Shark workout,

and I'm thinking, like, pop songs and we're going to dance.

And it's not easy.

I stopped -- I gave up competing with him a long time ago.

-Yeah. I want to talk about this book, "Unfinished."

Congratulations. It is out today.

It became a best seller within

a day of being available for pre-orders,

so congratulations.

It's already a best seller.

How does it feel to finally have this out?

I mean, this is amazing stories.

How did you remember these stories?

-I had to remind myself to remember it, honestly.

I didn't remember a lot of it.

But having that pause during quarantine really helped.

But, also, it's a little strange.

You know, I've been -- I mean, I've just gotten to know

a lot of people here in America recently.

But I've had a career in the public eye for almost 20 years,

and I've taught myself to, you know,

be very private and be ferociously protective of it.

And then I do this crazy thing and write a book.

I mean, what was I thinking? I don't know.

-No, but they're great stories. -I know.

-The one is, you know, 20 years ago.

You won Ms. World.

And we have a photo of you winning.

-Yep.

-You must have a thousand things going in your brain.

But in the book, there's a great story about your hair.

Can we show the photo one more time?

Why it's styled this way.

You go, "Oh, just 'cause she's gorgeous and it beautiful."

But that's not the case.

-No, I have this crazy tendril down my face,

and at that time, I tried to play it cool

as if it was like a choice, but it really wasn't.

I was trying to curl my hair,

and there was like 90 girls backstage.

Everyone is moving around

and getting their hair and makeup done.

And I was trying to curl my hair, and -- I don't know --

somebody jostled me, and I burnt myself and the skin scabbed.

So I had, like, this big mark,

which I had to conceal with concealer and that big tendril.

-And you're in the Ms. World competition. Hello!

-Every time I look back at that picture, I'm like,

"The choice of the tendril -- really?"

-I think -- Well, it worked.

There's so many great stories, and emotional stories, too,

that I love knowing about you.

But one thing that -- Just the cover.

Can you tell everyone the story about the tattoo

right there on your wrist or is it too --

I mean, I get emotional thinking about it myself.

-I was very close to my father.

He was my greatest champion, my biggest cheerleader,

like, the loudest guy in the room.

You know, if I'd win an award, he'd be like, "Ahh!"

And I had to tell him, "Dad, you know,

you've got to play it cool now."

But dad didn't know how to.

He was just, like, so excited about everything I did.

And when he died, it was just quiet in that corner, you know?

In that corner of cheer. -Yeah.

-Even though I have a very supportive family,

but they weren't all as rambunctious as him, you know?

And this tattoo was -- I got it about a year or two before

my dad passed, and I lied to him and I told him

I needed to write this down

because I wanted it for artwork for my album.

But he wrote it in his handwriting,

and it's my first tattoo.

And, you know, now I have it here with me.

-"Daddy's lil girl..."

I just thought it's so cool

and it's a great way to remember him.

And you know he's rooting for you right now.

He's going crazy.

He's going like, "Two movies and a memoir?!

You go, go, go!"

I know you're very close with your family.

In one of the stories, to show how supportive they were --

By the way, you look just like your mother.

Oh, my gosh. -I do?

-Oh, yes. Absolutely. -Oh, that's great.

-Yeah. -I really want to tell her that.

-Yeah. -I really wanted to. Thank you.

-But one of the stories -- it's towards the end --

talking about how they let you be an individual,

even when you were just a young kid.

There were these placards

outside of your home where you grew up?

-You know, we lived in a military home,

so all the houses looked the same

and they always had, like, nameplates,

we used to call them, where the officers

and their names and their designations

would be written outside the house.

Because both my parents were in the military,

it was, you know, "Major Chopra,"

his designation -- MD, MBBS, whatever --

my mom's, "Captain Chopra."

And I remember when that nameplate was being put up,

I was 5 years old, in kindergarten at that point.

And I asked my dad, very innocently --

I was like, "Don't I live in this house, too?

Why isn't my name up there?"

And at 5 -- -How cute is that?

5-year-old little Priyanka going, "Wait.

Where's my nameplate? Do I not live here?"

-"I live here, too."

-"Do I not matter to you guys? Hello?"

-And instead of laughing at me, my dad said, "You are right.

We are going to amend this nameplate."

And he wrote "Ms. Priyanka Chopra, Upper KG"

for "kindergarten."

-Kindergarten. I thought that was the best.

You -- Go, great, mom and dad. I love that you did that.

It's just you.

It just shows you like, "Hey, come on."

And they let you go, "Yeah, you can stick up --"

I just love that story.

It's cool. And congrats again on the book.

Your book is out. Your memoir is out.

"Unfinished." It is out now. Congratulations.

-Thank you so much, Jimmy.

-We always play a game when you come on the show.

We've done every single thing. -And you always lose.

It's so much fun. -I almost died that one time.

I almost drowned myself. -So did I. So did I.

-Alright, alright. -The "Hot Ones" --

-That one was a rough one. We've done a lot of stuff.

You almost threw yourself through a wall once.

Do you remember that one? -Yes.

-It was so funny.

Anyways, I wanted to play a little game

with you now through Zoom.

Is that okay? -Let's do it. Let's do it.

-More with Priyanka Chopra Jonas when we come back, everybody.

Stick around.
