In the high-stakes world of international red carpets, where every hair strand and makeup detail is scrutinized by millions, one might expect stars to rely solely on high-tech gadgets and expensive luxury products. However, global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently proved that sometimes, the most effective beauty secrets are the ones passed down through generations.
Attending the 83rd Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, California, Priyanka shared a rare, behind-the-scenes (BTS) look at the “madness” that unfolds before stepping into the spotlight. While her appearance alongside husband Nick Jonas was a masterclass in glamour, it was a humble “grandmother’s hack” that stole the hearts of her fans.
A Night of Glamour and Family Traditions
Priyanka, who presented the Best Actor award during the ceremony, took to Instagram to share a montage of her preparation for the big night. Dressed in an elegant, floor-sweeping gown from Dior, the actress looked every bit the Hollywood A-lister. Yet, even with a professional glam team at her disposal, nature threw a curveball just moments before her red-carpet debut.
In the video, as she prepared to enter the venue, Priyanka revealed a relatable struggle: “About to do it, my eye will not stop watering, but I think it’s going to be good.”
To combat the watering eye—a common mishap that can ruin hours of precision makeup—Priyanka reached for a simple solution. She pulled a tissue that she had tucked safely inside her dress for easy access. Reflecting on the practical trick, she quipped in Hindi, “Hamari daadiyon ne accha sikhaya hai” (Our grandmothers have taught us well).
The comment served as a heartwarming nod to her Indian roots, suggesting that despite her global superstardom, she still relies on the practical wisdom and “jugaad” (resourcefulness) instilled in her by the elders in her family.

Date Night at the Globes
Beyond the beauty hacks, the video captured the intimate and playful relationship between Priyanka and Nick Jonas. The couple, who have become a staple of Golden Globes “viral moments,” treated the prestigious event as a rare night out.
“I love doing these kinds of events with Nick. Together we have so much fun,” Priyanka shared in the clip. “So, I am really looking forward to a date night with my husband.”
The video also highlighted the sudden shift from her quiet personal life to the roar of the paparazzi. Priyanka noted that from Christmas until the day before the awards, she had been cocooned with her family, seeing no one else. The sudden transition to the “screech” of the Golden Globes was a whirlwind experience she captured with humor and grace.
Fan Reactions and Red Carpet Moments
The BTS footage resonated deeply with fans, particularly the “grandmother” comment. Social media was quickly flooded with praise, with one user commenting, “Stunning as always. Humari dadiyon ne achha sikhaya hai… I love the way you said it.” Others focused on the chemistry between the couple, describing their red-carpet interactions—where Nick was seen fixing Priyanka’s hair and she was seen adjusting his tie—as a “fairytale.”
Priyanka’s presence at the 83rd Golden Globes was also a milestone for South Asian representation. Not only did she turn heads on the red carpet, but she also shared the stage with Blackpink’s Lisa to present one of the night’s major honors.
What’s Next for Priyanka?
While she continues to dominate the fashion and awards circuit, Priyanka’s professional calendar remains packed with high-profile projects. In Hollywood, fans are eagerly awaiting her upcoming film The Bluff.
Perhaps more exciting for her Indian fanbase is her return to Indian cinema in a massive way. Priyanka is set to star in legendary director SS Rajamouli’s next film, titled Varanasi, where she will appear alongside Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu.
By blending the sophistication of Dior with the timeless wisdom of an Indian grandmother, Priyanka Chopra Jonas continues to bridge the gap between East and West, proving that no matter how far you go, you never truly leave your roots—or your “trusted tissue”—behind.
