She also revealed she was left with a scar after shooting the Amazon Prime Video series when her left eyebrow had an unfortunate run-in with a camera. “It was at the end of a rainy London day, and we were losing light so it was, ‘Let’s rush, rush, rush,’” Chopra Jonas recalls. “The ground was wet, and I went an inch in front of where I was supposed to stop.
