There’s no doubt that Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are one power couple. They both had extremely successful careers as individuals before meeting each other and tying the knot. Together, they make one beautiful pairing that exudes talent and popularity like no other in Hollywood.

While it’s fair to say that Priyanka and Nick are each famous in their own right, a lot of fans cannot help but wonder: which person is the more famous one? Read on below to find out the answer.

Priyanka Chopra is an established actress in India

Priyanka first shot to popularity in 2000 when she won the Miss World pageant representing her home country of India. She was 18 years old at the time and also the second consecutive person from India to have won the title.

After becoming Miss World, Priyanka began an acting career in India. She appeared in various box office hits such as Andaaz (2003), Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004), and Aitraaz (2006). These roles helped her establish herself as a serious actress and she subsequently earned praises from people for her acting skills.

In the next several years, Priyanka would go on to star in more movies and win numerous awards, eventually rising to the top of the Indian film industry in the mid-2000s.

Aside from acting, Priyanka also tried her hands at other types of work. She hosted various TV programs, participated in Miss World in 2007 and 2009 as a judge, released a few singles, and wrote columns for newspapers.

In 2015, she landed the lead role in the American series Quantico, which allowed her to become more known to audiences worldwide.

Nick Jonas found fame as a Disney singer

Nick had been doing music since a very young age: both by himself and with his two older brothers, Joe and Kevin. He released some solo singles in 2004, though a while later, he and his brothers started doing music with each other. They formed a group called the Jonas Brothers.

The Jonas Brothers’ success came in 2007 when they began working with Hollywood Records, which handles most of the music associated with the Disney franchise. The band became a huge hit among tweens and teens. They became known for songs such as “S.O.S”, “Burnin’ Up”, and “Tonight.”

Nick and his brothers also branched out into acting. They starred in the movies Camp Rock (2008) and Camp Rock 2 (2010) as well as the short-lived TV show Jonas.

The Jonas Brothers were one of Disney’s most successful artists. They toured all over the world and sold millions of albums across the globe.

After the Jonas Brothers temporarily split in the early 2010s, Nick went on to become a solo artist. He released a few popular singles such as “Chains,” “Jealous,” and “Levels.”

He also acted in various movies and TV shows. He was one of the main characters in the series Kingdom on the Audience Network. Additionally, Nick starred in the movies Careful What You Wish For (2015) and Goat (2016).

Is Priyanka Chopra or Nick Jonas more famous?

While both of them have enviable careers, it seems that Priyanka is slightly more famous than Nick. There’s no doubt that Nick has a lot of fame, but Priyanka is well-known in India, a country with three times more people than the U.S. population. And that’s not including her fan base in other parts of South Asia and areas where Indian movies are popular. In terms of numbers alone, she is hard to beat.

Also, Priyanka has a higher net worth than her husband. She is worth $28 million while Nick is worth $25 million. On social media, she also has a larger following on most websites. For example, on Instagram, her follower count is 41 million while he is only 24 million strong.

Additionally, Priyanka has won more than 120 awards throughout her career. Meanwhile, Nick has only won 63: 11 by himself and 52 with the Jonas Brothers.

Of course, at the end of the day, it does not seem to matter to Priyanka and Nick which one of them is more famous. Both of them are living the dream by doing what they love for a living and that is all that matters.
