The Indian Ritual Nick Jonas Found Difficult At His And Priyanka Chopra’s Wedding
Nick Jonas opened up about a particularly difficult moment at his wedding to Priyanka Chopra in 2018. He recounted how the traditional Indian ceremony had been unfamiliar to him and hence a bit of a culture shock.
“There’s this one moment in Indian weddings where the bride and groom are lifted on the shoulders of their family members and there’s sort of a game that’s played where this garland is put on each other,” Nick stated to People.
“They try to be the first to put the garland on the other,” he continued. “And it’s surprisingly difficult, especially when you have someone as competitive as me and Pri. But whoever is the one to put it on first, that side of the family is the more dominant.”
Further talking about the ceremony, Jonas said that it was a “great way for the families to all connect. It’s really for the family members to feel pride and that’s just a funny game. But it’s really heartwarming and a great way for the families to all connect.”
