Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas
Nick Jonas opened up about his engagement to actor Priyanka Chopra as he jokingly revealed their celebrity nickname 'Prick' at The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
When Fallon asked if the couple had a celebrity nickname, Nick quipped that Priyanka likes "Prick". The late-night host then advised the couple refrain from using that name. Nick opened up for the first time about his engagement to Priyanka, with whom he celebrated an Indian ritual last month in Mumbai among family members. He called it a "spiritual" experience.
After getting engaged, the couple participated in a traditional 'roka' ceremony, which Nick explained is a "confirmation from both sides of the family that they approve of the engagement".
"We both left that ceremony so full of joy," said the 25-year-old, also sharing that his parents were "blown away by the love shared among all the people". Nick said their ability to have privacy from the spotlight that was the most satisfying.
