Bollywood and Hollywood star Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently graced the sets of The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 4 as its inaugural guest, where she shared a heartwarming and unconventional story about celebrating the festival of Karwa Chauth with her husband, singer Nick Jonas.
A Moon Hunt Above the Clouds
During the candid conversation, Priyanka recounted the challenges of trying to spot the moon to break her fast on Karwa Chauth, given their hectic international schedules. She described one particular instance where Nick was performing at a stadium show for an audience of 60,000 to 70,000 people. Despite waiting until 10 PM and then 11 PM, the moon remained hidden behind clouds with rain threatening to pour.
"Want to hear something romantic?" Priyanka asked the audience before revealing the grand gesture. Nick Jonas took her up in his private plane, flew above the cloud cover, and there, amidst the clear skies, she finally saw the moon and broke her fast. This airborne celebration became their unique solution to the perennial cloud problem.
Kapil Sharma's Hilarious Quip
The host, renowned for his quick wit, Kapil Sharma, reacted to the anecdote with a playful question. He jokingly asked if they only broke the fast on the flight, implying a missed opportunity for a more elaborate celebration. To this, Priyanka laughed and clarified, "Mithai bhi khayee (We ate sweets too)." She also mentioned that her mother-in-law continues to send her the traditional pre-dawn meal, sargi, keeping the customs alive despite the distance.
Beyond the Show: Upcoming Projects
While the show focused on personal moments, Priyanka Chopra Jonas remains busy on the professional front. She is currently filming for acclaimed director SS Rajamouli's upcoming project, 'Varanasi'. In Hollywood, her next appearance will be in the film 'The Bluff', where she is set to play a pirate. Meanwhile, Kapil Sharma, after the success of his show, was last seen on the big screen in the sequel to his hit comedy, 'Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon'.
The episode highlighted the blend of tradition and modern life that defines many contemporary celebrity marriages, offering fans a sweet glimpse into the Jonas couple's cross-cultural relationship.
