Priyanka Chopra tied the knot with American music sensation Nick Jonas in 2018, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, in 2022. Currently, they are one of the most celebrated couples in showbiz. However, Priyanka has previously spoken about the difficulties they faced in balancing their lives between Nick’s place in Los Angeles and their cultural differences.
Despite both coming from large families, Priyanka noted that their upbringings were culturally distinct. They had to learn and unlearn various aspects to strike a balance in their relationship. In an old chat on the “Read the Room” podcast, Priyanka described how they embraced each other’s cultures with love. Nick Jonas developed a deep appreciation for Indian culture, while Priyanka, who grew up in the United States, considered it her second home. Their mutual respect for each other’s backgrounds was significant, though the cultural differences were notable.
Priyanka shared that within her Indian family, it is common for people to speak over each other, a habit she had to unlearn when interacting with the Jonas family. Conversely, Nick had to adapt to interrupting and speaking over others to be heard in her family. This adjustment was challenging, with Priyanka learning to wait for others to finish speaking and Nick learning to assert himself in conversations.
Priyanka described this as a major shift for her, despite spending a significant part of her teenage years in the US. Nick often visits Priyanka’s family in India, and the couple was recently spotted enjoying the grand wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Mumbai.
