Recently, Nick opened up about embracing his wife’s culture and raising their daughter with strong values from both traditions in a multi-religious household.
Nick Jonas on embracing Hinduism
Speaking on the Sach Sang Show, Nick Jonas shared that he had always envisioned a big extended family and a partner who shared the same outlook. “It was kind of magic when I went to India for the first time and got the chance to spend time with her family and friends and experience her culture in a more meaningful way. Some of my favourite traditions and holidays are now Indian traditions. Some of my favourite memories in life are either based in India or India-adjacent, and it’s pretty incredible,” he said.
The actor also spoke about learning more about Hinduism and embracing its philosophies. “I have learned a lot about Hinduism as well, which is just amazing. It’s profound and beautiful. The practice of karma doing unto others as you would like to have done to you and good things coming back to you if you do good. Dharma is beautiful, and we are raising our daughter to have real Hindu values and an understanding of them in a meaningful way. I am very blessed to have a multicultural and multi-religious family,” Nick shared.
