For the unversed, Priyanka is a Hindu and Nick follows Christianity.
Nick shared with Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, "I have a deep and meaningful relationship with God but God has taken many different shapes than what I just read in one book now.

¡°We are raising a child who is gonna have elements of biblical principles and also from the Hindu faith."
When Malti was born, the duo shared a joint statement which read, "We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate. We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family. Thank you so much (sic)¡±.
