Singer Nick Jonas, of the Jonas Brothers, who is married to the Indian A-lister, is affectionately called ‘jiju (brother-in-law)’ or even ‘national jiju‘ of India, whenever he visits the country with his better half.
During his recent appearance on ‘The Tonight Show’ with comedian Jimmy Fallon, Jonas proudly embraced the title and explained the meaning to the host. He said, “As you know I am married to Priyanka. When we got married this hashtag started. I was ‘National Jiju’.”
“Jiju means elder sister’s husband, so effectively I’m the older brother to India,” he explained, before the host played an old clip from the Jonas Brothers concert in India, when his siblings and bandmates, Joe and Kevin, also introduced him as ‘Jiju’.
