Ahead of Diwali, Priyanka and her husband, Nick Jonas, recently hosted a lavish festive gathering for their Hollywood friends in Los Angeles. The event offered guests a glimpse into rich Indian traditions and celebrations.
Numerous pictures and videos from Priyanka and Nick’s Diwali party quickly circulated online. The guest list featured prominent personalities, including YouTuber Lilly Singh and model Winnie Harlow, among others.
