Nick Jonas recently shed light on his Indian nickname, “National Jiju,” during an appearance on ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’. Known for being Priyanka Chopra’s husband, Nick shared the meaning behind the affectionate term used by Indian fans and paparazzi.
“Jiju” translates to “elder sister’s husband” in Hindi, and Nick explained, “As you know, I am married to Priyanka. When we got married, this hashtag started. I was ‘National Jiju.’ So effectively, I’m the older brother to India.”
