Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas take Daughter Malti Marie to a Mandir for her 2nd Birthday
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are proud parents of a beautiful baby girl, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, who turned two on January 16, 2024. The couple, who welcomed their daughter via surrogacy in 2022, decided to mark the special occasion with a visit to a mandir, a Hindu temple, in Los Angeles. The family was accompanied by some close friends and relatives, who shared glimpses of the celebration on social media.
Malti Marie dons a garland and a bindi
Malti Marie, who is named after Priyanka’s late father Dr. Ashok Chopra and Nick’s late father Paul Kevin Jonas Sr., looked adorable in a red outfit, matching with her mother. She also wore a garland of flowers and a bindi, a red dot on the forehead, which are traditional symbols of Hindu culture and spirituality. Malti Marie seemed to enjoy the temple visit, as she was seen smiling and playing with her parents and their friends.
Priyanka and Nick also wore ethnic outfits, with Priyanka opting for a white kurta and Nick choosing a blue kurta. The couple, who tied the knot in 2018 in a lavish wedding that spanned two cultures and religions, showed their respect and devotion to the Hindu faith by performing rituals and prayers at the mandir. They also posed for pictures with the temple priests and the staff, who blessed them and their daughter.
A cozy beach party for the birthday girl
After the mandir visit, Priyanka and Nick hosted a cozy beach party for their daughter at their home in Los Angeles. The party was attended by some of their close friends, such as Cavanaugh James, Divya Akhouri, and Franklin Jonas, Nick’s younger brother. The guests enjoyed the sunny weather and the scenic view of the ocean, as they celebrated Malti Marie’s birthday with cake, balloons, and gifts.
Priyanka and Nick also shared some sweet moments with their daughter, as they cuddled, kissed, and sang for her. They also took a stroll on the beach, holding hands and carrying Malti Marie in their arms. The fan page of the couple, Jerry x Mimi, posted some photos and videos of the party on Instagram, which went viral among their followers. The fans wished Malti Marie a very happy birthday and praised Priyanka and Nick for being such loving and doting parents.
Priyanka and Nick open up about surrogacy
Priyanka and Nick have been very open and honest about their decision to have a child via surrogacy, due to Priyanka’s medical complications. In an interview with E! in 2022, Priyanka said, “I had medical complications. This was a necessary step, and I’m so grateful I was in a position where I could do this. Our surrogate was so generous, kind, lovely, and funny, and she took care of this precious gift for us for six months.”
Nick also expressed his gratitude and admiration for their surrogate, saying, “She was amazing throughout the whole process. She made us feel comfortable and confident. She gave us the greatest gift of our lives.” The couple also thanked their fans and the media for respecting their privacy and giving them space to focus on their family.
Priyanka and Nick’s upcoming projects
Priyanka and Nick are not only devoted parents, but also successful and busy professionals, who have several projects lined up for 2024. Priyanka is set to star in Heads of State, a political thriller that will mark her debut as a producer in Hollywood. She will also reunite with her Dil Dhadakne Do co-star Farhan Akhtar in Jee Le Zaraa, a road trip movie that will also feature Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif.
Nick, on the other hand, is gearing up for the release of his seventh studio album, which he has described as “a mix of pop, rock, and R&B”. He will also resume his tour with his brothers, Joe and Kevin, as part of the Jonas Brothers band. The trio had to postpone their tour in 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but they are now ready to hit the road again and entertain their fans with their hit songs.
We wish Priyanka, Nick, and Malti Marie a very happy and prosperous 2024!
