Priyanka Chopra Reveals Nick Jonas Suggested Their Grand Indian Wedding

Mumbai: Global stars Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas may have celebrated their wedding with elaborate ceremonies in India, but the idea of tying the knot in the country actually came from the American singer, Priyanka once revealed.

The couple got married in December 2018 in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, in a lavish celebration that brought together Hindu and Christian wedding traditions.

During her appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' in 2019, the 'Barfi' actress shared interesting details about how they decided on their wedding destination.

Priyanka revealed that she had always imagined getting married on a private island, away from the public eye. However, finding a suitable location proved difficult because of the logistical challenges involved in bringing their guests together.

"I always wanted to get married on a private island away from everything. We were like really stressed out about it cause we thought Seychelles, Maldives, Mauritius and nothing was working out, how will we fly everyone and the logistics," she told Jimmy Fallon.

While the couple was still exploring possible destinations, Nick came up with the idea of hosting the wedding in India.

Recalling his suggestion, Priyanka said Nick asked, "Why aren't we doing this in India? Shouldn't I be taking my bride from her home?"

The actress also offered some amusing insights into their domestic life, revealing the contrast between the way their homes are maintained.

While describing her own house as beautiful but not particularly well maintained, Priyanka joked that several everyday things, including her coffee machine, air conditioner and doorbell, often failed to work.

She said she rarely spent time at home, which explained why these small maintenance issues continued to pile up.

In contrast, she described Nick's house as exceptionally clean and perfectly maintained, admitting that its spotless appearance sometimes made her nervous.

Priyanka recalled an incident when her dog urinated on Nick's white carpet. Worried about his reaction, she arranged an extensive cleaning effort involving cleaners, baking soda and scrubbing before he returned home. Despite all the efforts, Nick still noticed what had happened.

The candid conversation offered fans a glimpse into the couple's relationship, combining their wedding memories with the lighter, everyday experiences of married life.

Their December 2018 wedding in Jodhpur became one of the most talked-about celebrity celebrations, bringing together Indian wedding customs and Christian traditions in a grand international event.
