A Heartwarming Family Bond: Malti Marie Chopra Jonas Sends First Rakhi to Cousin Neer
The spirit of Raksha Bandhan brought the Chopra family closer than ever this year, as little Malti Marie Chopra Jonas shared a touching moment with her younger cousin, Neer. The four-year-old daughter of global icon Priyanka Chopra and singer Nick Jonas sent a special Rakhi to the son of actress Parineeti Chopra and politician Raghav Chadha, marking a sweet milestone in the family’s newest generation.
A Festive Milestone
Parineeti Chopra took to her Instagram Stories to share the heartwarming update with her followers. Posting a photograph of her son, Neer, wearing the Rakhi sent by his elder cousin, the actress included a cute message written on behalf of her infant son.
“Thank you Malti didi for my first rakhi! Lots of love, Neer,” the caption read, capturing the beginning of what promises to be a lifelong sibling-like bond between the two children.
Priyanka Chopra was quick to respond to the post, showering her nephew with affection. “Didi loves you baby Neer,” the actress commented, delighting fans who have been closely following the interaction between the two families. This celebratory gesture comes less than a year after Neer’s birth on October 19, 2025, cementing the close relationship between the cousins despite their geographic distance.
A History of Affection
This is not the first time the Chopra-Jonas household has extended such warmth toward the newest member of the family. Shortly after Neer’s birth, Parineeti revealed that Priyanka had showered her son with a collection of gifts, noting that Neer was being “spoilt already” by his Mimi masi (aunt), Nick masa (uncle), and Malti didi. The public exchange of these private moments has garnered significant attention, with fans praising the family for maintaining such strong ties across the globe.
