Priyanka Chopra recently discussed how her and her husband Nick Jonas’ cultures differ, emphasizing how, after six years of marriage, they’ve managed to strike a happy balance. Priyanka Chopra revealed that while both she and Nick Jonas are from big families, their upbringings were very different from one another in terms of cultural influences, so they had to get used to and comprehend one another’s backgrounds.

In an interview with the Read the Room podcast, Priyanka discussed their shared admiration for each other’s native nations and their willingness to fully immerse themselves in each other’s customs.

Priyanka then shared how an Indian family like hers would “speak over each other’s sentences” but this wasn’t the case with the Nick’s family. She stated that things like these “were really hard” for her to learn. She said, “Before you finish your sentence, I know what you are saying so I am just going to tell you. That’s just how we are culturally.”

Priyanka added, “We are just like, ‘let’s just go!’. We are loud and every one speaks over each other. So for Nick, he had to learn to cut people off, he had to learn to speak over everyone. He is like, ‘aye, I am saying this!’. I had to learn how to wait, let someone finish their sentence. I’m like, ‘I know what you are saying but I’ll wait for you to finish.”

She went into further detail about the changes they had made, sharing her own struggle with learning to wait patiently for others to finish speaking. However, Nick has since traveled to India on several occasions; prior to marrying Priyanka, he had little exposure to the nation. He recently stayed longer in India for a few weeks so that he could celebrate Holi with Priyanka and her family.
