She added (laughing), "After I came back from America to India, I had a really American accent." When asked if she had a Boston accent, PeeCee said, "I did go back to India. I studied in Queens, New York as well.. so I actually had a New York accent when I went back. I would be like, "Can I have some covefee" or "I'm staying with my sista."

For the unversed, ever since her marriage to Nick Jonas, Priyanka has moved to the US and has made it her home base. For the last few months, she spent majority of her time in London working on various projects due to travel restrictions.
