Global icon Priyanka Chopra, known for her strong connection to Indian traditions, recently celebrated Dussehra with great devotion at her Los Angeles home.
Accompanied by her husband, Nick Jonas, and their daughter, Malti Marie, Priyanka ensured that Indian cultural values remain vibrant, even thousands of miles away from home.
The celebrations included a traditional puja, a significant ritual during the festive period. Priyanka shared glimpses of the intimate family gathering, where all three, dressed in traditional Indian attire, were seen fully immersed in the festive spirit. A heartwarming image showed little Malti wearing a ‘Jai Mata Di’ chunri, symbolizing blessings and devotion.
Priyanka shared her festive wishes, stating, “May the strength of Maa Durga, the purity of our prayers and the spirit of Dussehra stay with us all, today and tomorrow and always.” This sentiment reflects the deep spiritual meaning the festival holds for her.
On the professional front, Priyanka is set to return to Indian cinema with the action-adventure film ‘Varanasi’. Directed by the acclaimed S.S. Rajamouli and co-starring Mahesh Babu, the film is an ambitious project spanning multiple timelines and continents. With music composed by Oscar-winner M.M. Keeravani, ‘Varanasi’ is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on April 7, 2027, marking a highly anticipated comeback for the actress in the Indian film industry.
