LAHORE – Bollywood’s desi girl Priyanka Chopra and US singer Nick Jonas landed in Jodhpur on Thursday night as excitement over their impending nuptials, dubbed India’s “wedding of the year”, reached fever pitch.
The lovebirds waved and smiled at photographers as they left the airport in India’s revered “Blue City” where they will tie the knot in a series of lavish ceremonies this weekend.
Chopra and Jonas are due to wed at the city’s opulent Umaid Bhawan Palace Hotel, in the western desert state of Rajasthan, this weekend on Saturday.
They have been joined in India by their families, including Jonas’s brother Joe Jonas and his fiancee, British actress and “Game of Thrones” star Sophie Turner.
Indian media is buzzing with details and speculation about the big day. “She’s one of the best actresses in India and she’s beautiful. All of India is excited about her wedding,” said one fan, Prakash Pujari, outside a cinema in Mumbai, the hub of Bollywood.

Piggy Chops, who won the Miss World pageant in 2000, is one of Bollywood’s most identifiable stars and one of the few to have achieved success in the West. She has released songs with US chart-toppers including Pitbull and The Chainsmokers.
Jonas first found success as a child, as the frontman of The Jonas Brothers with his two siblings. The brothers hailed from a deeply devout Christian family and presented a wholesome image, including wearing purity rings to promote chastity.
Nickyanka got engaged in August, sharing photos on social media showing them performing a prayer ritual in traditional Indian garb.
Here wishing a blessed life ahead to the star couple!
