When he was asked to share his wedding plans with Josh, he said that he want a big Indian wedding but his partner hates attention. Penn said, “Obviously I am engaged to a man and our families will be there for the wedding. The big disagreement now is whether it's a huge wedding or a tiny wedding. I want the big a** Indian wedding. Josh, hates attention, Or we could just do a quick 20-minute thing with our families and that's it. So we have to meet halfway in the middle.”
About his parents’ reaction, he said that his parents were supportive and shared this news with his parents and close friends first. “I know this sounds jokey, but it's true, when you've already told your Indian parents and the South Asian community that you intend to be an actor for a living, really any conversations that come after that are super easy. They're just like, 'Yeah, okay.' I felt very supported by everyone. That's a wonderful thing. I know everybody has different experiences with that and so I definitely feel very fortunate,” he continued.
