I came down, and my mother completely changed the downstairs; all the sofas were moved, and there was, like, low seating. There was a havan kund, in the middle, which is for a bonfire ceremony. And there were these pundits just chanting, and the whole feeling was as if I was walking into a new life.”
Priyanka Chopra talks about the importance of rokaIn her conversation, Priyanka admitted that Nick putting the ring on her finger wasn’t as important as the emotional and spiritual significance of the moment. “It didn’t shock me when Nick put the ring on my finger,” she admitted, “but when we walked side by side, I was like, ‘Oh!’ Things are changing. This is different. I choose my family.’ So the gravity of this was not lost on any of us.”
Priyanka Chopra reveals what Nick Jonas said after the Roca concertShe let fans in on the private conversation she had with Nick after the concert, saying: “After the concert was over, which Nick did perfectly, much to the delight of all my aunts, we went back upstairs to change and take a minute and go down to lunch. He held my hand and said, ‘I feel like we’re in our third or fourth life.'”“Because in Indian weddings, when you walk around the fire seven times, you’re making a promise to your seven lives,” she explained. “We believe in reincarnation, we believe that you find your person over and over again. And when he said that to me, I thought about it for a moment, that we’re three or four, and I said, ‘Why would you say that?'”“Because it’s so familiar. It feels like home. But at the same time, I want to experience a lot of it together,” she revealed, recalling Nick’s response. I mean, how could you not marry that guy?” Priyanka and Nick married in December 2018, after just a few months of dating. The couple are now parents to their daughter Malti Marie.
