Apart from Nick Jonas’s dapper look, what stole the show was his wearing a kalava. He tied a kalava on his wrist at the 2026 Oscars, and moments later, fans were in awe that the actor had chosen to do the same to support his wife, Priyanka Chopra. For the unversed, a kalava, aka mauli or raksha sutra, is a red-yellow thread used by Hindus who tie it on their wrists during poojas or festivals. Nick, wearing the kalava on his wrist, astounded people, who believed he was imitating Hindu culture, given that his wife, Priyanka, is Indian.

His tying a kalava on his wrist reminded fans of another recent occurrence in which he was observed attaching a mangalsutra-inspired bracelet to his wrist, and his followers were immediately impressed. There is a reason why Nick is everyone’s favourite ‘jiju’. Apart from this, he also made headlines after sharing a video taking a dig at the controversy when he stepped out of the Golden Globe Awards.
