Priyanka Is Lovely Person: Nick Jonas MUMBAI: Singer-actor Nick Jonas says he has heard a lot about India from his “new friend” and actress Priyanka Chopra. Now, Jonas says he is “dying” to visit India. “I’ve never been (to India). But I’m dying to go and I have now heard from Priyanka, my new friend a lot about it. Just given me a lot of names of place to go if I go there,” Jonas said in a statement. Earlier this year, Jonas and Pri- yanka walked on the Met Gala red carpet, making everyone wonder whether they are dating. Talking about his relationship with Priyanka, Jonas said: “We met through a mutual friend who she did “Quantico” with and we met up in New York the irst time and the same day I think we found out we are both going to the MET gala with Ralph Lauren.“And as strange as it sounds but we couldn’t have planned it. We just had a great time. She’s a lovely person and I’m dying now to go to India,” he said.
