If you needed a reminder that queer joy is real, loud, and unapologetically extra, allow Canada’s Drag Race winner Priyanka to deliver it—wrapped in a literal bow. The beloved drag superstar (government name Mark Suknanan) just announced her engagement in the most Priyanka way imaginable: out of drag, looking like the gift herself, standing before a glowing Christmas tree, and flipping the script by being the one to go down on one knee.
The now-viral video shows Priyanka addressing a room full of their closest friends and family, reflecting on five years of love and the not-so-subtle hints everyone had been dropping. With trademark timing and a wink to the crowd, Priyanka beat them to the punch. “I know that all of you want us to get engaged,” she teased, before dropping the bombshell: “…we are.” Cue gasps, laughter, tears, and one very shocked, very emotional partner.

Down on One Knee, Up Goes the Bar
As Priyanka knelt and asked, “Will you marry me?” the reaction was instant and priceless. Her fiancé, George Skaruz, visibly stunned and overwhelmed, said yes without hesitation. It was intimate, festive, and unmistakably queer—a proposal that felt less like a performance and more like a love letter written in real time.
Priyanka later shared the moment on Instagram with a caption that perfectly captured the magic: five years together, now headed toward marriage, and a love that made things she never imagined possible suddenly feel inevitable. It was heartfelt without being cheesy, celebratory without being flashy—proof that when you live big, love big, too.

From Whitby to the World
For longtime fans, this engagement feels especially full-circle. Born on May 28, 1991, in Whitby, Ontario, Priyanka’s journey hasn’t been a straight line to the spotlight. As a student at All Saints Catholic Secondary School, she was once told by a teacher that she would never be successful—a moment that now feels laughably off the mark. She came out as gay to her mother at 23, later to her father around the time her drag career exploded into the mainstream.
Of Indo-Guyanese descent and a proud alumna of Niagara College’s broadcasting program, Priyanka cut her teeth in children’s television, hosting on YTV’s The Zone and The Next Star. Even then, the charisma was undeniable. Drag came later—2017, to be exact—when Priyanka Love began lighting up Toronto clubs with humor, heart, and a pop-star sensibility that set her apart.
A Historic Crown—and a Bigger Future
Everything changed in 2020 when Priyanka competed on the inaugural season of Canada’s Drag Race. Week after week, she proved that versatility, vulnerability, and raw star power could coexist. When she ultimately took the crown, she didn’t just win a title—she made history as the first person of Indo-Caribbean descent to win anywhere in the global Drag Race franchise.
Since then, Priyanka has built a career that refuses to stay in one lane. Music, television, touring, hosting—she does it all with the same infectious energy that made fans fall in love in the first place. And through it all, George has been by her side since 2020, grounding the whirlwind with steady love and support.

Love, Laughter, and Drag Brunch
Fans also know Priyanka for her deeply personal series Drag Brunch Saved My Life, which blended performance, storytelling, and healing into something truly special. The show struck a chord for its honesty and its celebration of queer survival—and the love story we’re now celebrating feels like a natural extension of that ethos. It’s about chosen family, resilience, and believing that happiness isn’t something you have to earn by shrinking yourself.
With Crave recently announcing that a second season of Drag Brunch Saved My Life is officially in the works, Priyanka is stepping into this next chapter with momentum on her side—and a ring on her finger.
Happily Ever After, the Priyanka Way
In a world that often tries to dull queer joy, Priyanka’s engagement feels like a glittering act of defiance. It’s loud in its love, soft in its sincerity, and deeply affirming. Five years in, she didn’t just say yes to marriage—she said yes to a future that looks a lot like the life she’s been manifesting all along.
From the Drag Race runway to a Christmas-lit living room, Priyanka continues to prove that love, when it’s real, deserves to be celebrated out loud. And honestly? We wouldn’t expect anything less.
