Priyanka Chopra recently delighted fans with a glimpse into her married life while appearing on The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 4. During the light-hearted conversation, the global icon spoke about how Indian traditions have found a special place in her home, especially when it comes to health and wellness.
Nick Jiju swears by this Indian home remedy when he’s unwell
When host Kapil Sharma asked if Priyanka had introduced Nick Jonas to Indian spices, food habits, or traditional drinks like fennel water for digestion, her answer struck a chord with many Indian households. While she admitted she hasn’t tried every desi hack on him, there’s one remedy Nick absolutely trusts.
Priyanka revealed that whenever someone falls sick at home, they rely on kadha, a traditional Indian herbal decoction. What’s more heart-warming is that Nick has embraced it wholeheartedly. According to her, he drinks kadha along with hot water no matter where he is in the world, proving that this age-old remedy has truly gone global.
Kapil couldn’t resist cracking a joke, teasing that Priyanka hasn’t just passed Indian culture on to her children but has also made her husband “half Indian.”
What is Kadha and Why is it so popular in Indian homes?
Kadha is a traditional herbal drink commonly consumed during winters or when dealing with cold, cough, or low immunity. Made using spices and herbs found in most Indian kitchens, it is known for its warming and immunity-boosting properties. For generations, kadha has been a go-to remedy for seasonal illnesses, sore throat, congestion, and digestion issues.
