Even though she resides outside of the country, Priyanka Chopra makes sure that her family continues to celebrate Indian festivals. The actress celebrated Diwali and Dhanteras with her husband, actor-singer Nick Jonas, while also sharing adorable photos of herself with Malti Marie. Priyanka took to her Instagram stories and shared a sweet snap of the family, giving fans a look into their festive celebrations.
The photo is all heart, with Priyanka, Nick, and Malti Marie holding each other’s hand. Priyanka dressed in a mild traditional style and used a bunch of silver bangles to help Malti feel integrated with Indian customs. Captioning the photo, Priyanka wished her followers a “Happy Dhanteras to all,” along with folded hands, heart, and diya emojis, adding warmth to the festive season.
Priyanka has blended her inherent Indian-ness with life abroad in the past as well. Just a week ago, she observed Karwa Chauth and shared her pictures on social media, showing herself fasting for Nick and performing the rituals. One image shows her breaking her fast with Nick, who gave her water as per tradition. Another photo from her Karwa Chauth post shows her reading a note from Nick, with Madhu Chopra joining the festivities via video call.
Priyanka fully embraced the rituals, getting a henna tattoo, wearing sindoor, and adorning a mangalsutra bracelet, embodying the festive spirit. She dressed casually yet elegantly, draping a dupatta over her head during puja, symbolizing an auspicious blend of grace, tradition, and her modern “desi girl” vibe abroad. She humorously captioned the picture, “To all those celebrating… happy Karwa Chauth,” adding her own filmy touch.
Recently, Priyanka visited India to fulfill brand commitments and attend the screening of her Marathi movie Paani, which won the National Film Award for Best Film on Environment Conservation.
