Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra and American singer Nick Jonas hosted an extravagant concert on Sunday as the couple tied the knot at a lavish Indian palace in front of a star-studded guest list.
Chopra, 36, and Jonas, 26 performed an opulent Indian music and dance routine as their friends and family clapped along at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in the western city of Jodhpur.
The multi-day festivities, which has been dubbed India’s “wedding of the year”, continued into the night with a Hindu ritual for the superstar couple, who exchanged vows in a Christian ceremony on Saturday night.
Chopra said the colourful “sangeet” performance, which featured ornate set changes and dozens of performers, started as a “fierce song and dance competition” between their musical families.
“And what a performance it was. Each family telling our stories through song and dance, filled with lots of laughter and love,” she posted on Instagram on Sunday.
They were married in India’s fabled “Blue City” with famous guests including Jonas’ brother Joe and his fiancée, British actress and Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner.
American fashion designer Ralph Lauren said the label had also been involved in the event’s styling.
“Ralph Lauren is honoured to have dressed the couple as well as the members of their wedding party,” the designer posted on Twitter on Saturday.
