Priyanka Chopra Jonas makes a quirky request ahead of Oscars 2021 nominations announcement

Global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas, on Thursday, took to her social media handles and shared a video to make a big announcement. Interestingly, via the video, which also featured her singer-husband Nick Jonas, Priyanka revealed that the couple will announce the Oscars 2021 nominations in a trend, going viral on TikTok. As the video started, Priyanka can be heard saying, "Tell me we're announcing the Oscars nominations, without telling us we're announcing the Oscars nominations". 

As the video progressed further, unimpressed Nick Jonas, who was behind her, informed her that she has already told everyone. As per the Desi Girl's caption, the nominations will be announced on coming Monday, that is March 15. Starting her caption on a funny note, Priyanka tagged The Academy's official page and wrote, "Any chance I can announce the Oscar nominations solo?". However, she further added, "Just kidding". The rest of her caption read, "We are so excited to be announcing the #OscarNoms on Monday, March 15th at 5:19AM PDT! Watch it live on youtube.com/Oscars".
