After the big news of Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh's wedding there is more big news with the Priyanaka Chopra and Nick Jonas wedding. So first we were told that the venue of some functions was shifted because of security reasons. Then news reports gushingly told us about PC marrying Nick Jonas, finally tying the knot - and they had two ceremonies, just to be sure! Fans were delighted of course, but many others were also yelling ‘hypocrite’!
It’s being called the #NickYanka wedding. These are pictures of the ‘sangeet’ event – a family dance/ talent show.
The couple had a Christian ceremony for which the father of the groom, Paul Kevin Jonas Sr. officiated. In the absence of Priyanka Chopra's father, he also gave away the bride in the Christian tradition.
Honouring the faith and traditions of both; there was also a Hindu wedding ceremony along with a mehndi ceremony.
It was a blending of east and west, the bride and groom clearly had a blast and the guests had a good time as well.
The wedding featured fireworks as part of the celebrations and social media collectively lost their s**t... and not it a good way.
Not too long ago, Chopra did this ad (presumably for a popular brand of inhalers). She appealed to people – as an asthmatic herself – not to burst crackers which exacerbates medical conditions of people and raises pollution levels.
People were clearly riled at what they saw to be a shameless double standard; a celebrity preaching what she had no intention of practicing herself.
While some were angrily calling PC a hypocrite, others sarcastically asked whether she was using herbal crackers or ones that somehow released oxygen instead of noxious gasses. One could argue that most Indian weddings have crackers as part of the celebrations...But then most Indians don’t get paid a bomb (pun unintentional) by a large pharmaceutical company to make an emotional pitch against those same firecrackers.
