Priyanka Chopra couldn't stop laughing after a fan shared an amusing video explaining how she addresses her husband Nick Jonas as 'babu' while many in India don't like calling their partners by that name. 

"Matlab kya hi dekh lia maine. Priyanka Chopra Nick Jonas ko babu bulaati hai. Par yahaan, India mein rehte hue apne partner ko 'babu' bol do toh. Don't babu me', I am not your 'babu', kuch bhi bulaa lo, bas 'babu' mat bulao Babu gaali kab se ban gaya, yaar? Jonas khandaan ke bahu beta aapas mein ek doosre se 'babu - babu' karke vartaalap kar sakte hain, toh tum chander chuuron ko kaun si problem hai?"

[Translation: What did I just see! Priyanka Chopra calls Nick Jonas 'babu'. But dare a person living in India call his/her partner by the same name. Call me anything but not babu. When did babu become a slur? If folks of the Jonas family can use the word, then what is problem with you blokes]." The fan further asks "Which strawberry world" are they living in that they need a nickname in English as well. She concluded by saying, "The 'babu' word is getting popular in Los Angeles while people in Bhatinda can't seem to accept Indian names".

Priyanka married at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur in 2018.
