The intimate celebration was attended by family and friends, among them Cavanaugh James and Divya Akhouri.


Nick’s younger brother, Franklin Jonas, turned into a photographer and captured special moments from the event.

The photos have gone viral on social media.

A video clip shows Priyanka and Nick walking on the beach. They held hands as they walked away from the party.

The birthday girl, Malti, is seen wearing a red colour outfit.

Cavanaugh James and Divya Akhouri were also seen helping prep for the low-key birthday set-up.

For those not in the know, Priyanka and Nick welcomed Malti Marie in January 2022 through surrogacy. They brought her home on Mother’s Day.

In a recent interview, Priyanka revealed that they chose surrogacy due to her medical complications.

“I had medical complications,” she said. “This was a necessary step, and I’m so grateful I was in a position where I could do this. Our surrogate was so generous, kind, lovely, and funny, and she took care of this precious gift for us for six months.”

How Southeast Asian storytelling became one of Netflix’s fastest-growing global pillars

Highlights:

  • Netflix says global viewing of Southeast Asian titles rose almost 50% between 2023 and 2024.
  • Premium VOD revenue in the region reached £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore) last year, with 53.6 million subscriptions.
  • Netflix holds more than half of the region’s total viewing and remains its biggest investor in originals.
  • New rivals, including Max, Viu and Vidio, are forcing sharper competition.
  • Local jobs, training and tourism are increasing as productions expand across the region.

Last year, something shifted in what the world watched. Global viewership of Southeast Asian content on Netflix grew by nearly 50%, and this isn't just a corporate milestone; it’s a signal. Stories from Jakarta, Bangkok, and Manila are no longer regional curiosities. They are now part of the global mainstream.

The numbers tell a clear story. Over 100 Southeast Asian titles have now entered Netflix’s Global Top 10 lists. More than 40 of those broke through in 2024 alone. This surge is part of a bigger boom in the region’s own backyard. The total premium video-on-demand market in Southeast Asia saw viewership hit 440 billion minutes in 2024, with revenues up 14% to £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore). Netflix commands over half of that viewership and 42% of the revenue. They have a clear lead, but the entire market is rising.
