As Karva Chauth approaches on October 10, 2025, Priyanka Chopra Jonas has offered a glimpse into her pre-festivities, showcasing her mehendi (henna) designs in honor of the occasion. The actress, balancing her work commitments between India and the US, is ensuring that her Indian roots remain firmly in place as she embraces the festive season.
Priyanka shared glimpses of her Karva Chauth preparations on her Instagram stories. In a video, she flaunted her palm adorned with intricate mehendi, with her husband Nick Jonas' full name, "Nicholas," written in the center in Devanagari script. She tagged celebrity mehendi artist Ishirin Charaniya, acknowledging her work with the caption "@ishirincharaniya doing her thing this Karva Chauth". The actress also played the iconic mehndi song, 'Mehndi Hai Rachnewali', in the background of the video.
In addition to showcasing her own mehendi, Priyanka shared a heartwarming picture featuring her hand alongside that of her daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. Both mother and daughter sported matching henna patterns, a gesture that delighted fans. The adorable glimpse of three-year-old Malti's henna-decorated hands particularly stole the spotlight.
Karva Chauth is a significant Hindu festival primarily observed in North India, celebrating the love and commitment between married couples. On this day, married women fast from sunrise to moonrise, praying for the longevity and well-being of their husbands. Mehendi, traditional attire, and festive gatherings are essential elements of the celebration, symbolizing love, prosperity, and togetherness.
Priyanka and Nick's relationship began in 2017 after they connected via social media and attended the Met Gala together. Nick proposed in July 2018, and the couple married in December 2018 at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, with both Christian and Hindu wedding rituals. They welcomed their daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, via surrogacy in January 2022.
In an earlier interview, Priyanka spoke about her spiritual connection with Nick, noting that despite their different religious upbringings, they are spiritually aligned in their emotions and faith. She believes that all religions ultimately guide people to the same destination.
On the work front, Priyanka is set to appear in the film "SSMB29" alongside Mahesh Babu. She has also reportedly been signed on for "Krrish 4".
