Global Superstar Priyanka Chopra Jonas melted hearts worldwide on Monday by sharing an adorable crayon drawing created by her three-year-old daughter, Malti Marie, capturing their unbreakable mother-daughter bond in the simplest yet most touching way. Posted on her Instagram Stories, the vibrant sketch depicts a tall figure—clearly Priyanka—cradling a smaller one in her arms, with oversized expressive eyes and bold outlines that scream childlike innocence. Malti, beaming with pride in the accompanying photo, clutches a crayon while holding up her masterpiece, her tiny fingers smudged with colour as if fresh from creation. Priyanka captioned it "Mama holding me," followed by teary-eyed, crying, and red heart emojis, her visible emotion underscoring the profound joy such small gestures bring amid her whirlwind life of film sets and red carpets.

The artwork, though rudimentary with its wide strokes and playful proportions, radiates pure affection and effort, instantly going viral as fans flooded social media with adoration. Comments poured in like "So nice painting," "This is cute," "Adorable drawing," and "Malti's an artist," with many sharing their own stories of parental pride. For Priyanka, a doting mother who welcomed Malti via surrogacy in January 2022 alongside husband Nick Jonas, these glimpses into family life offer a serene counterpoint to her high-octane career. She often treats followers to such candid moments, from Malti's playful Thanksgiving antics with friends to her recent set visit in Hyderabad, where the toddler charmed co-stars like Mahesh Babu and even petted a calf at director SS Rajamouli's farm.

This heartwarming share arrives as Priyanka gears up for a monumental return to Indian cinema after a six-year hiatus, headlining the epic action-adventure Varanasi opposite Telugu icon Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran, under visionary director SS Rajamouli's helm. Unveiled in November 2025 at a grand Hyderabad event attended by over 50,000 fans, the film—previously buzzed as SSMB29—promises a time-travel saga spanning ancient eras to the modern day, infused with Hindu mythology and groundbreaking VFX. Priyanka plays the fierce Mandakini in an action-packed avatar, as teased in her poster wielding a gun, while Mahesh Babu embodies the Shiva devotee Rudhra on a quest for a cosmic artefact, and Prithviraj takes on the wheelchair-bound antagonist Kumbha.

Varanasi, co-written by Rajamouli and his father, V. Vijayendra Prasad, with music by Oscar winner M. M. Keeravani boasts a staggering ₹1,000-1,200 crore budget, making it India's most expensive film to date, shot partly in IMAX for immersive spectacle. One sequence reportedly features Mahesh Babu as Lord Rama, blending epic storytelling with global appeal—Rajamouli's signature since RRR's Oscar triumph. Priyanka has called collaborating with the Baahubali auteur and her co-stars a "privilege," especially as it marks her proper Telugu debut and a homecoming post-Hollywood ventures like Citadel and The Bluff. Slated for a 2027 worldwide release, the project is already eyeing record-breaking OTT rights potentially exceeding ₹1,000 crore, underscoring its status as a cinematic juggernaut.
