New video of Priyanka Chopra’s Lakshmi Puja surfaces online

An unseen video of actor Priyanka Chopra and chef Sami Udell performing an Aarti together at her Los Angeles home has surfaced online. The clip, shared by a fan club, comes from the Lakshmi Puja she performed on Diwali last year. Her husband Nick Jonas can be seen in the background clapping.
Fans dropped comments of praise, with one writing, “So much love and respect for both Nick and Priyanka who always treated their friends and staff more like family. May God continue to bless these two beautiful souls with endless love and happiness together.” Another wrote, “Bless this family and their house.”
Priyanka first shared pictures of the Puja on Instagram in November last year. She was dressed in a yellow saree, while Nick wore white kurta-pajama. She wrote in her caption, “Ya devi sarvabhuteshu Lakshmi rupena sangsthita. Namastasye namastasye namastasye namo namaha. With the blessings of Goddess Mahalakshmi, we invite Her grace and abundance into our home. Happy Diwali.”
Priyanka has been vocal before about her Indian culture, and how Nick has embraced it as well. She said, “I do a lot of pujas in the house which are prayer ceremonies. Nick usually asks me to do them whenever we are starting something big because that is how I have always started something auspicious in my life, with a prayer of thanks. I have had that upbringing and he has had that upbringing and we have sort of created that within our family as well.”
On the work front, Priyanka was recently seen on the big screen in ‘The Matrix Resurrections’ alongside Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jada Pinkett Smith, Neil Patrick Harris, and others. Her upcoming movies include ‘Text For You’, ‘Citadel’, and ‘Jee Le Zara’.
