When Nick Jonas married Priyanka Chopra, he didn’t just gain a superstar wife. He also stepped into a whole new universe filled with traditions, rituals, festivals, and faith. And according to Nick, that universe now feels very much like home.
Speaking on the Sach Sang Show, the singer opened up about how India and Hinduism have quietly but deeply shaped his life after marriage. What started as curiosity slowly turned into comfort and eventually, into something deeply personal.

“India felt like magic,” says Nick
Nick shared that he always dreamed of having a big family and a partner who believed in close bonds. That dream came alive when he first visited India with Priyanka.
He described his first experience with her family and culture as “kind of magic.” Being surrounded by relatives, friends, food, and festivals gave him a sense of belonging he hadn’t expected.
Nick admitted that many of his favourite traditions today are Indian ones. Some of his most special memories are either from India or closely linked to it. For him, India is no longer just a place on the map. It’s an emotional space.
Discovering Hinduism and its meaning
Nick also spoke about learning Hinduism after marriage. He didn’t approach it as outsider ticking boxes but as someone trying to understand its values.
He called Hinduism “profound and beautiful”. He highlighted concepts like karma, treating others the way you want to be treated; and dharma, which he described as deeply meaningful.
According to Nick, these ideas have stayed with him and influenced how he looks at life, relationships, responsibility.
Raising Malti in a multi-faith home
One of the most interesting parts of Nick’s conversation was about parenting. Nick and Priyanka are raising their daughter Malti Marie in a home where different religions and cultures exist side by side.
Nick revealed that they are teaching Malti real Hindu values in a way that is meaningful and respectful. At the same time, the family celebrates its Christian roots too.
He called himself “very blessed” to be part of a multicultural and multi-religious household, something he believes will give their daughter a strong moral and emotional foundation.
Faith, then and now
Nick also reflected on how his own faith has changed over the years. As a child, religion was a big part of his life, especially since his father was a preacher. But adulthood, marriage, and exposure to new beliefs reshaped his understanding.
Faith, he said, still matters deeply to him, it has just evolved.
A wedding that set the tone
Nick and Priyanka tied the knot in December 2018, celebrating both Hindu and Christian wedding ceremonies. The wedding itself became a symbol of their shared respect for each other’s beliefs.
They welcomed Malti Marie in 2022 via surrogacy, and since then, their family life seems rooted in balance, love, learning.
