International icon Priyanka Chopra recently brought an eruption of color to the festival of Holi, embracing the celebratory spirit in Noida, India, alongside her husband Nick Jonas, their daughter Malti Marie, and a host of family members including cousin Mannara Chopra. The actress and former Miss World who returned to her homeland for professional engagements, took to social media to give fans and followers a glimpse into the vibrant festivities, showcasing the joyous moments of the day.
Holi, affectionately known as the festival of colors, signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, and a chance to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive. Priyanka Chopra, often seen as a cultural bridge between the East and West, took the opportunity to share this slice of Indian culture with her global audience, revealing the excitement and familial warmth during the celebration.
In the images and videos posted, the Chopra-Jonas family was seen adorned in pristine white attire, the perfect canvas for the kaleidoscope of Holi colors that would follow. The first snapshot captured an endearing moment with Priyanka, Nick, and their daughter Malti Marie, poised to dive into the festivities. Further videos revealed Mannara Chopra dancing exuberantly to the energetic beats of traditional dhol, while Priyanka and Nick were sighted enjoying the rhythm beside the pool.
The revelry was not just limited to immediate family; Madhu Chopra and the extended Chopra clan were present, making it a grand family affair. Priyanka expressed her gratitude for the festive gathering on her Instagram, mentioning “Holi was lit. Thank you @tam2cul @sudeepdutt for creating such a warm atmosphere for our family! So much fun”. The heartfelt celebration underscored the importance of family and tradition in Priyanka’s life.
It was only a few days prior that the actress landed in India, accompanied by her daughter, for business commitments which included inaugurating a lavish Bulgari store at Mumbai’s Jio World Plaza. For the sophisticated event, she dressed in an Anamika Khanna ensemble, pairing a luxury reptile-inspired top with an embroidered bralette and sweeping pants, completed with gold stiletto sandals. An embodiment of grace and elegance, Chopra blends her role as a global brand ambassador seamlessly with her Indian roots.
Nick Jonas also made headlines with his arrival in Mumbai, fashioned in a crisp all-white attire, marking his second trip to India within the year. Earlier visits included a high-energy performance alongside his brothers, Kevin and Joe Jonas, at Lollapalooza India in January.
Professionally, Priyanka has a busy schedule ahead. She is set to feature in ‘Heads of State’, sharing the screen with the likes of John Cena and Idris Elba. In addition, she will voice the Disneynature film ‘Tiger’, releasing on Disney+ Hotstar, which delves into the fascinating world of this beloved creature. Fans of her Bollywood work can anticipate her return to the Indian silver screen with Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ where she will star with Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt.
Holi’s celebration binds the present with tradition, merges borders, and embodies joyful unity. Priyanka Chopra’s colorful fête in Noida has done just that, creating meaningful and vibrant memories with her family and sharing the exuberance of this festival with the world, thus reinforcing her position not just as an international star, but also as a cherished ambassador of Indian culture.
