What is the story about?
Priyanka Chopra Jonas celebrated Karwa Chauth in the traditional way with a twist and shared a glimpse of the mehendi she applied on her own. The actress'
henna design had the initials of her husband Nick Jonas and their daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, which made the festive ritual even more special. Priyanka took to Instagram to wish those celebrating the occasion and revealed her DIY mehendi and a traditional trick with sugar syrup to darken its colour. The Desi Girl often posts clicks from celebrating every Indian festival even if she's settled in the US. She makes sure husband Nick and daughter participate in the prayer and rituals with all their enthusiasm.
Priyanka Chopra's Karwa Chauth DIY Mehendi
On October 29, Priyanka took to Instagram to share the pictures of her Karwa Chauth mehendi design that she did herself. The design featured Nick and Malti's initials, adding a touching family element to the traditional ceremony. Sharing a picture of her palm, the actor wrote, "DIY..Piya ke naam ki happy karwachauth to all those celebrating."
In another Instagram Story, Priyanka gave us a glimpse of herself applying chashni or sugar syrup to her mehendi. "The question is does the chashni work? IYKYK," she wrote. Traditionally, a sugar syrup is applied to dried mehendi to keep the paste moist as the stain develops. This is a method many people use to try to get a darker colour.
Priyanka gave fans a sneak peek into her Karwa Chauth celebrations and her continued tie to Indian customs through her DIY design and festive posts.
When Priyanka And Nick Celebrated Karwa Chauth In Clouds
Priyanka had shared a romantic Karwa Chauth memory during an appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show in 2025. She remembered the difficulty of seeing the moon while Nick was playing in a stadium, recalling that the couple had had a hard time catching a glimpse of it because of cloudy skies and rain approaching. We waited long, but the moon never showed itself. Then she told of Nick's surprising prescription. Priyanka said, "He finally took me up in a plane, above the clouds, and then I broke my fast after seeing the moon."
The romantic gesture delighted the audience and fans alike and became a memorable example of how the couple incorporates Priyanka's traditions into their life together.
