Global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently reflected on the deeply personal and emotional moments from her roka ceremony with husband Nick Jonas, revealing a heartfelt comment he made that underscored the depth of their connection.

In an intimate conversation on the Mythical Kitchen podcast, Priyanka shared how Nick’s words during the pre-wedding ritual left a lasting impression on her and her family.

Looking back at the roka — a traditional Indian engagement-style ceremony that symbolises the beginning of a couple’s committed life together — Priyanka described how the event was made meaningful by her mother, Madhu Chopra, who ensured the ceremony honoured their cultural traditions and emotional significance. According to Priyanka, the atmosphere was filled with warmth, chants and celebration as family members gathered to bless the couple.

She revealed that after the ceremony, Nick turned to her and said, “I feel like we are on our third or fourth lifetime,” a sentiment rooted in the Hindu belief in reincarnation and eternal connections.

She mentioned, “Because in Indian weddings, we walk around the fire seven times, you’re making a promise for seven lifetimes. And when he said that to me, I thought about it for a second and I asked, ‘Why did you say that?’ He said, ‘Because it’s so familiar, it feels like home, but I want to experience so much of it together.’ I mean, how are you not gonna marry that man?"

Priyanka’s recollection also highlighted how Nick won over her extended family during the ceremony, impressing her aunties by chanting swaha and even showing his enthusiasm by playing the dholak — gestures that added joy and acceptance to the proceedings. The roka, which preceded the couple’s 2018 wedding in both Hindu and Christian ceremonies, remains a cherished memory that Priyanka revisits with fondness and gratitude.

The actress said, “After the ceremony was over, which Nick did perfectly. Much to the joy of my aunties, they were like oh he’s saying swaha, oh wow, he can play the Dholak, they loved him. It was great. So we went back upstairs just to change and come back to lunch. He held my hand, and he said, ‘I feel like we are on our third or fourth lifetime.'
