American singer and actor Nick Jonas once again delighted Indian fans by embracing desi food and music, proving that he remains a favourite “national jiju” on social media.
Dosa, coconut chutney and a Bollywood throwback
Nick Jonas recently shared a video on Instagram showing him enjoying a traditional South Indian breakfast during his visit for Singapore Art Week. In the clip, the singer can be seen relishing a plate of crisp dosa paired with classic coconut chutney, clearly savouring every bite.
What added to the charm was the background music. Staying true to his reputation for picking trending audio, Nick used the popular Bollywood track Teri Dulhan Sajaungi from the 2005 film Barsaat, which starred Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu and Bobby Deol.
Nick captioned the post simply, “This song hits.”
Priyanka and fans react with delight
Priyanka Chopra reshared the video on her Instagram Stories, adding laughing emojis, further amplifying the buzz. Fans quickly flooded Nick’s comment section with affectionate reactions, with many calling him “national jiju” and joking that his “jijufication” was now complete.
Several users remarked that Nick appears more in tune with Indian trends than many locals, while others said he had perfectly “won the trend” by pairing dosa with a nostalgic Bollywood hit.
Nick’s long-standing love for Indian food
This is not the first time Nick Jonas has expressed his fondness for Indian cuisine. In a 2023 interview, he openly spoke about his love for paneer, lamb biryani and dosa, saying that dosa remains one of his favourite Indian foods.
The latest video once again highlights how effortlessly Nick blends global pop culture with Indian flavours, winning hearts across continents.
