Nick Jonas talks about Hinduism

In a conversation on the Sach Sang Show, Nick spoke about how he had always wanted a big extended family and a partner who shared the same vision. He added, “It was kind of magic when I went to India for the first time and got the chance to spend time with her family and friends and experience her culture in a more meaningful way. You know, some of my favourite traditions and holidays are now Indian traditions. Some of my favourite memories in life are either based in India or India-adjacent, and it’s pretty incredible.”

He further spoke about Hinduism, saying, “I have learned a lot about Hinduism as well, which is just amazing. It’s profound and beautiful. The practice of karma — doing unto others as you would like to have done to you — and good things coming back to you if you do good. Dharma is beautiful, and we are raising our daughter to have real Hindu values and an understanding of them in a meaningful way. I am very blessed to have a multicultural and multi-religious family.”

Nick added that his faith has also evolved over the years. He revealed that faith remains a very important part of who he is, noting that it has changed since his childhood days, when he would listen to his father preach.
