If you ever find yourself being ushered into a well-appointed private lounge, in an opulent high-rise in midtown Manhattan, to meet with Priyanka Chopra Jonas, perhaps the first thing you will notice about her is her voice. It’s soothing and cashmere soft. "My husband calls it the 'ASMR voice,'" she laughs. (Her husband, of course, is singer Nick Jonas, who also happens to have his own set of noteworthy pipes.) When I joke with Chopra Jonas that she must record a message for me to wind down to in the evenings, without missing a beat, she purrs, "Good night, Lola. Stop scrolling. It’s time to go to bed."
It’s unclear to me if sleep is something Chopra Jonas, 43, gets a lot of herself. Over the course of her career, she’s been a pageant queen, a Hindi film icon, a fledgling pop singer, a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, the global face of legacy brands like Bvlgari, Johnnie Walker, and Max Factor, and yes, she’s even narrated bedtime stories for the Calm app. In 2016, Time magazine named her as one of "The 100 Most Influential People" in the world. Five years later, her memoir, Unfinished, was a New York Times bestseller.
