There are some actresses who are widely beloved by fans and audiences everywhere. Women like Reese Witherspoon or Jennifer Aniston have all been viewed as some version of "America's Sweetheart," and there's no denying that there is a certain charm about them. On the other hand, there are other actors and celebrities who aren't so cherished, and it's kind of complicated to understand just why that is. Take, for instance, Priyanka Chopra.

The Indian actress who got her start in Bollywood has taken Hollywood by storm ever since she landed the lead role in the ABC drama, Quantico. Since then, Chopra has gone on to appear in quite a few other projects and has even married Nick Jonas  — a fellow A-list star and once-teenage heartthrob of the Jonas Brothers. 

Despite all her success and seemingly happy marriage, the Baywatch starlet doesn't exactly have a thriving fan base. As it turns out, there are more than several weird things that everyone ignores about Priyanka Chopra. Read on to find out! 

Priyanka Chopra is 10 years older than Nick Jonas

Listen, love is love. And really, age is just a number. That being said, there's no way around the fact that when there is a significant age difference between couples, people tend to talk about it. The rumor mill seems to churn even more when the older party is a woman — as she's suddenly deemed a cougar. While that's certainly old-fashioned thinking, it hasn't stopped Priyanka Chopra from receiving a lot of raised eyebrows from the masses.

Chopra, who was born in 1982, is married to Nick Jonas, who was born in 1992. Yep, that's right, it means that Chopra is ten years older than her husband, and you best believe there are countless critics out there who have something to say. "People gave us a lot of s**t about that and still do," mused the actress to InStyle in 2019. "I find it really amazing when you flip it and the guy is older, no one cares." She's not the only one bouncing back at her haters, either. Jonas penned a song for his wife in 2019 titled "I Believe," and with lyrics such as, "Call me crazy, People saying that we move too fast," it's definitely a clapback to any critics of these two lovebirds. 

While some may deem Jonas and Chopra's age gap to be full-on awkward, being older doesn't necessarily mean someone is more mature, and it looks like it suits these two celebs just fine.

Her wedding was super sponsored

There is no shortage of snark out there when it comes to celebrity weddings. The affairs are usually over-the-top, ridiculously expensive, and as is the case with many relationships in Hollywood, often lead to divorces. While only time will tell just how happy Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas truly are, there was quite a bit of buzz surrounding their wedding ceremony and the amount of branding that went into it.

As Vox reported in regards to Chopra and Jonas' multi-day wedding, it was "very publicly documented on the two celebrities' Instagrams and featured references to a number of prominent brands, from Amazon to Elit Vodka." Basically, it seemed extremely obvious that the pair got their wedding sponsored, which is pretty gauche for such a rich couple. 

However, did the duo truly bank on all of that advertising? Perhaps not. According to Vanity Fair, Jonas "has a long-standing relationship with Elit vodka," while Chopra "only agreed to work with Amazon on her registry after they agreed to her philanthropic terms." As a spokesperson for Amazon further revealed to the mag, "[they] did not pay Chopra to sponsor her registry, agreeing to do so in exchange for donating $100,000 to UNICEF." 

She played down her relationship with Nick Jonas at first

While it's not exactly surprising when celebrities ignore or downright deny rumors about their relationship status, there was something kind of strange about how Priyanka Chopra handled the questions that were thrown her way about her appearance with Nick Jonas at the Met Gala in 2017. While the two attended the event together, it looks like they weren't quite ready to make their relationship official just yet.

Body language experts have a lot to say about her relationship

Though Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are an interesting pairing, there's a lot more to their relationship than meets the eye. As body language expert Traci Brown told Elite Daily, there is definitely something off about them as a couple. So, why is that?

Though Priyanka Chopra herself is a minority as a woman of color, she is also very privileged — of which she seems completely unaware. For instance, in 2016, Chopra appeared on the cover of Conde Nast Traveller and was wearing a shirt that garnered a lot of attention — and not in a good way. As BBC reported, "The top has the words 'migrant', 'refugee' and 'outsider' crossed out while the word 'traveler' stands out." Yep, it was seriously uncomfortable, and when the backlash came out, Chopra didn't seem too concerned.

"I'm really, really apologetic about the fact that so many sentiments were hurt," Chopra said on India's NDTV news channel. "I'm someone who always stands for no labels ... I was very affected and feel really, really horrible." Chopra also mentioned that the magazine wanted to address

She judged people in the entertainment industry at first

Listen, there's no doubt that Priyanka Chopra is a successful woman in the entertainment industry. However, she sometimes comes across as a little stuck-up about her talents and also judgemental of people in the entertainment industry — especially in one particular interview.

Speaking with The Daily Beast in 2019, Chopra explained her background. "I come from a very academic family," she said. "I was very academically inclined. When I was 17, I didn't really think that the profession of glamour was a real profession, because everyone in my family was academic, but it changed, by fluke, when I won Miss India." Um, in case you missed it, there were two humble-brags thrown in there about how brilliant Chopra is, and how beautiful, since she won Miss India "by fluke." Additionally, she tossed aside the notion that people in "glamour" like actors, singers, or models are actually hard workers. It was definitely a weird comment, and kind of came across as out-of-touch.
