Nick shared that MM came into the world under very intense circumstances, which they've never really talked about. "We were expecting her to arrive in April, the year she was born. Then we get a call that it's going to be sooner... We got to the hospital and came out 1 pound, 11 ounces and purple basically," the singer said. He added how the nurses in the NICU resuscitated her and took care of her.
Nick revealed that every day, he and Priyanka would each do 12-hour shifts at the hospital till they brought Malti home. He shared that it was COVID-19 time, and so he and
