Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently shared a look at her daily essentials and what she carries in her bag. Priyanka, who is known to keep things edgy, chic and edgy, featured a thoughtful mix of practical items and deeply personal keepsakes. Among the items that stood out was a simple black thread, which she described as a protective charm rooted in Indian tradition. She explained in a video for Vogue: “In India, we wear black. This is a nazar battu (evil eye), like an evil eye bracelet. You wear a little black thread. In India, we believe it keeps evil away. I like to wear them together. The more you can do to protect yourself… Why not?”Along with everyday essentials like perfume, hairspray and sunglasses, Priyanka also carried something more spiritual, a small booklet of the Hanuman Chalisa. Holding it tight, she shared, “This is my Hanuman Chalisa, which is a prayer to Lord Hanuman. You have to say it every day. I don’t do it every day, but I try as much as I can. But I also feel that he protects me in all my journeys.”Her portfolio also held sentimental value, including a 2018 photo of her with her husband, Nick Jonas. Adding a touch of relatability, she talked about always carrying a stain remover pen. “And here’s my tide pen (stain removal), I always carry my tide pen. I can’t trust the tailor. I stained my Dior dress at the Golden Globes because I was eating pizza. So I used it right away and it was fine,” she said.Priyanka recently added an EpiPen to her purse after developing allergies. “I’ve developed allergies this year. This is a new addition to my bag, but a crucial one. I can’t tell you what I’m allergic to because literally everyone will know how it kills me! I don’t want that. There’s also my inhaler because I have asthma,” she said.Another attention-grabbing detail was his habit of labeling his belongings, including his portable charger. Explaining the reason, she said: “It’s tagged so it doesn’t get stolen in a busy house. I tag everything. I tag drawers, I tag cupboards, I tag everything because my husband will put it in his bag otherwise.”
