Priyanka Chopra Jonas marked Karwa Chauth with a special family celebration, sharing photographs that offered a glimpse into the rituals and personal moments she enjoyed with husband Nick Jonas and their daughter, Malti Marie. The actor chose a traditional red outfit for the occasion, combining festive Indian styling with gold accessories and a handmade mehendi design.
The celebration took place on October 29, with Priyanka sharing updates from her home in the United States. Her posts highlighted the importance of maintaining Indian traditions while living overseas and brought attention to the family’s participation in the annual festival.
A traditional red outfit with gold detailing
For the evening rituals, Priyanka wore a sindoori-red kurta set featuring a sleeveless design. She paired it with a sheer organza dupatta decorated with gold lace, sequins and embellishments. The coordinated outfit gave her appearance a traditional festive character.
She completed the look with gold Kundan jewellery, including earrings, rings and a haath phool. A red bindi, sindoor, soft waves and red lipstick added to the overall styling.
Priyanka also shared a photograph while waiting for the moon to appear. Wearing a baseball cap with her festive outfit, she added a playful caption asking when the moon would come out. The moment offered a lighter glimpse of the wait associated with completing the evening ritual.
DIY mehendi carries a family touch
One of the personal highlights of Priyanka’s celebration was the mehendi design she applied herself. The pattern included the initials of Nick Jonas and their daughter, Malti Marie, making the design particularly meaningful for the family.
She shared the photographs with a note explaining that the mehendi was a do-it-yourself effort and wished everyone celebrating a happy Karwa Chauth. The actor also joked about whether sugar syrup would help deepen the colour of the mehendi.
The family pictures included Nick spending time with Malti, with Priyanka describing the photograph as a frame containing her whole world. The images reflected the family-focused nature of the occasion rather than a large public gathering.
Nick Jonas makes time for the festival
Priyanka also revealed that Nick had arranged his touring schedule so he could return home for Karwa Chauth. She said he made the arrangements without her having to ask, knowing how much the occasion meant to her and their daughter.
The gesture became an important part of her social media update. Priyanka expressed appreciation for her husband's effort and shared warm wishes with those celebrating the festival.
The couple married in December 2018 in ceremonies that included both Hindu and Christian traditions. Their daughter, Malti Marie, was born in January 2022. Since then, Priyanka has occasionally shared selected family moments while keeping much of their private life away from public attention.
Keeping Indian traditions alive overseas
Karwa Chauth is observed by many married Hindu women, particularly in North India. The traditional observance involves fasting during the day and performing evening rituals after the moon appears, with prayers for a spouse’s well-being.
Priyanka’s latest celebration showed how she continues to mark Indian festivals while living abroad. Her red attire, handmade mehendi and family photographs brought together familiar customs and personal memories.
The occasion also offered a glimpse of Nick and Malti participating in the family celebration, making this year's Karwa Chauth update a combination of traditional rituals, festive fashion and family time.
