Diwali 2024 was nothing short of enchanting for Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, and their daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, as the family celebrated the festival of lights with close friends in the vibrant city of London. The renowned actor shared delightful glimpses of their celebration on Instagram, much to the joy of her fans worldwide, as she gave us a peek into their intimate family time during this auspicious occasion.
Priyanka, the star often lovingly referred to as the “desi girl,” made sure to bring a piece of Indian tradition to her London home by performing the traditional Laxmi Puja, a ritual usually observed during Diwali to seek blessings from the goddess of wealth and prosperity. The celebration, filled with prayers, family bonding, and joy, was captured beautifully through Priyanka’s lens. The family looked resplendent in traditional Indian attire, adding a touch of elegance and charm to the festivities.
Donning a stunning floral printed saree, Priyanka exuded the grace and beauty that her fans adore. Her husband, Nick Jonas, embraced Indian culture in a handsome off-white kurta, while their young daughter Malti was dressed adorably in a delicate white lehenga, making for some truly picturesque family moments. The series of photographs shared by Priyanka depicted the family engaged in sacred rituals, guided by a Hindu priest, as their friends participated in the prayers, adding a communal spirit to the celebration.
The effervescent actress expressed warm wishes for the festival through her post, writing, “Happy Diwali to everyone. May this year bring peace to the world,” capturing the essence of the festival which is all about spreading love, joy, and hope across the globe.
Before this heartwarming Diwali celebration, the couple had also wowed their followers with what Priyanka humorously dubbed a “perfect Diwaloween,” where the celebration of Halloween and Diwali happened to coincide. On social media, she delighted fans by sharing images showing the family enjoying activities typical of both holidays — including indulging in some fireworks, a quintessential Diwali custom, and showcasing festive decorations aplenty.
