Fans Go Crazy for Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra
The crowd at the festival went wild as Nick Jonas took the stage and sang some of his hit songs, including ‘Jealous’, ‘Sucker’, and ‘Maan Meri Jaan’. The latter was a collaboration with Indian rapper King, who also joined Nick on stage. The song, which means ‘My Life, My Love’ in Hindi, was a tribute to Priyanka Chopra and their cross-cultural romance.
The fans showed their love and respect for Nick Jonas by chanting ‘jiju jiju’ throughout his performance. ‘Jiju’ is a Hindi word that means ‘brother-in-law’ and is used as a term of endearment for the husband of one’s sister or female cousin. The chant was a way of welcoming Nick Jonas into the Indian family and culture.
Priyanka Chopra was visibly moved by the gesture and posted a video of the crowd chanting ‘jiju’ on her Instagram story. She wrote, “My heart (red heart and teary-eyed emojis): Thank you, Mumbai.”
