Oscars 2026: Nick Jonas Channels His Desi Jiju Energy

Indian fans have long showered love on Nick Jonas, fondly calling him "Jiju"-a sweet nickname for the husband of their beloved "desi girl," Priyanka Chopra Jonas. The singer once again won hearts with a lighthearted social media moment during the 98th Academy Awards buzz.

Earlier in the day, Nick shared a humorous clip on his Instagram, showing himself sipping water before the big event. Adding a witty caption to the video, he joked, "If you see me drinking water outside of the Oscars, it's because it's 85 degrees in Los Angeles today."

One of the fans quickly noticed that Nick Jonas was wearing a kalava on his wrist-a sacred red and yellow cotton thread traditionally tied during Hindu rituals and considered a symbol of faith and protection.

"Till yesterday Nick hadn't that red/yellow thread on his wrist 🥹 Tonight is an important night for Priyanka and he is wearing a Kalava 😍, (sic)" the user tweeted.

The subtle cultural touch delighted many Indian fans, who praised the singer for embracing the tradition.
