Bollywood’s highest paid actress Priyanka Chopra, 36, and popstar Nick Jonas, 26, are now married after a four-month engagement.
The high profile couple tied the knot with both a Christian ceremony on Saturday—officiated by Jonas’ father—and a traditional Hindu ceremony on Sunday, at the stunning Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, Rajasthan in India. The two ceremonies were conducted to honour the faith and culture of both families.
Chopra wore a Ralph Lauren wedding gown, while Jonas sported a suit by the same fashion house. The newlyweds were personally congratulated by the famed designer, who had custom-designed Chopra’s dress. In an Instagram post, he said: “Congratulations to Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas on the occasion of their wedding. Ralph Lauren is honoured to have dressed the couple as well as the members of their wedding party.”
Although Chopra admitted to Jonas being the first to reach out to her via Twitter back in 2016, the pair hadn’t actually met until 2017. Their relationship was sprung into the public sphere in 2018.
In an Instagram post, Chopra said: “One of the most spocialthings that our relationship has given us is a merging of families who love and respect each other’s faiths and cultures. And so planning our wedding with an amalgamation of both was so, so amazing. An important part of the pre wedding rituals for the girl in an Indian wedding is the Mehendi. Once again we made it our own and it was an afternoon that kicked off the celebrations in the way we both dreamed.”
Chopra won the Miss World beauty pageant in 2000 which opened doors to an illustrious career in film. She broke into the US film and television scene with titles such as A Kid Like Jake and Ventilator. In 2017, Forbes magazine included the access in a list of the world’s 100 most powerful women.
Nick Jonas is best known for being in the Jonas Brothers, a band he formed with his brothers. The poster has since gone on to find success in a solo career and was a mentor alongside Demi Lovato in the UK’s hit talent how, The X Factor.
