Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas "have to be even more careful" during the coronavirus pandemic

She told PEOPLE magazine: "I'm asthmatic and my husband's type 1 diabetic, so we have to be even more careful.

"But there have been a lot of Zoom calls and Zoom brunches. We have a really large friends and family group, and I've had a lot of birthdays in my family that have happened recently, so we've done a few socially distanced lunches...

"If you have the ability to have a human connection with friends, family, whether that's virtually or whether that's in a socially distant way, I think that's really important to feel a sense of normalcy."

The 'Baywatch' star - who has been married to Nick since 2018 - also revealed how she has been focusing on her career and family during the pandemic.

She added: "As a creative person, for me, a lot of projects ended up happening during this quarantine.

"I've been developing shows and movies, writing, and I finished my memoir. It's been a creatively sound time, besides being absolutely strange."

She has made a concerted effort to remain creative throughout the crisis, and Priyanka is currently trying to learn to play a musical instrument.

She recently said: "It's a good time to be a creative person, especially in entertainment. You can create something and sell it for when the world becomes normal again.

"So, I've been doing a lot of that but I am trying to take on learning an instrument. I'm still figuring out which one. Drums, piano, but that's really something that I've challenged myself to start learning."
