Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently revealed more details about her relationship with husband Nick Jonas.

The actress, who married the "Sucker" singer in an epic celebration in India last December, spoke about her initial impression of him at the 10th annual Women in the World Summit in New York City this week.

"I’ve known him for two years," she said. "I didn't think that this would be what it turned out to be, and that's maybe that’s my fault, I judged a book by its cover."

"When I actually started dating Nick he surprised me so much ... I call him Old Man Jonas," she continued. "That's my name for him, OMJ. He’s such an old soul, extremely smart, so good for me because he grounds me so much. I'm a wild child. I do whatever I want whenever I want and he always supports me."

She also spoke about one of the first things that jumped out to her about Jonas.

"We were on a date, and it was time for the date to get over, we were [with] a bunch of friends, and I had a meeting... and I was dropping hints to my friends and they were like, 'No, don't go for the meeting. Just stay,'" she shared. "And I was like 'No, no, no. If someone gives me reason enough to cancel it, I'll cancel it.'"

"And he just didn't pick up the hint. I said it twice. I said it thrice," she added.

She said Jonas' response to the situation really impressed her.

"Finally he took me aside and was like, 'Look, I'm not stupid. I know what you're trying to do. But I would never be the one who would tell you to cancel work because I know how hard you've worked to be where you are. So, if you could've canceled it, you would've done it. I'll take our friends out for dinner. We'll wait for you and you finish your meeting and come back,'" she said.

"I was just like, 'That's the first time someone's ever done that,'" she added.

Chopra Jonas also opened up on what married life is like during an appearance on "Good Morning America" in February.

"There's a big difference between a husband and a fiancé," she said. "I didn't understand the gravity of that when I got married. But it’s a good thing to be married to a good husband.”
