Priyanka Chopra shows Nick Jonas's name in henna ahead of Karwa Chauth, asks about sugar syrup

Bollywood's "desi girl" Priyanka Chopra has settled abroad after marriage and made a name for her acting across the world. Even so, her bond with Indian culture remains, and she celebrates Indian festivals and traditions with the same enthusiasm. The latest glimpse came in her preparations for Karwa Chauth, when she shared photos of the henna on her hands on social media. Her husband Nick Jonas's name is visible in the photos.

Priyanka often posts pictures of Indian festivals celebrated with her family. A few days ago she had posted photos of Dussehra and Kanya Pujan celebrated at home. Now, for Karwa Chauth, she showed the henna on her hands in an Instagram story.

Sharing the photo, Priyanka said she had applied the henna herself. She also extended good wishes to women observing Karwa Chauth. Her husband Nick Jonas's name is clearly visible in the henna design.

In another story she shared a close-up of the henna, set to the song "Gali Mein Aaj Chand Nikla". She also wrote a caption about waiting for the moon, which gives a sense of the Karwa Chauth mood.

Priyanka also asked a light-hearted question about getting the henna colour to darken. In the story she wrote, "The question is, will sugar syrup work? Those who know will understand."

In the traditional method, many women apply a light coat of a sugar and lemon mixture over the henna as it dries. This keeps the henna moist for longer and can help the colour deepen.

Her question suggests she is interested in traditional henna methods. The post gave fans a glimpse of her simple, warm side. Her Karwa Chauth preparations are also being discussed on social media.

Though Priyanka works internationally, her habit of celebrating Indian festivals has not changed. Her posts on festivals with family and traditional rituals suggest she remains connected to Indian culture.
