Indian Health Drink’: During her latest appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show 4, Priyanka Chopra shared endearing details about her marriage to Nick Jonas and her personal life. The international celebrity disclosed during the conversation that when Nick isn't feeling well, he goes to a popular Indian health drink—a reassuring, immunity-boosting Desi staple that has obviously become a part of their home.

What is Nick Jonas' go-to Indian remedy?

The actor gave a sympathetic and understandable response when Kapil asked Priyanka if she had ever introduced Nick Jonas to Indian flavours, eating customs, or traditional beverages, mentioning fennel water as a way to avoid bloating. Responding to whether she has tried such home remedies on him, Priyanka said, “Not that one particularly, but the kadha we have when we get sick here, we always make that back at home.”
