The eagerly awaited confirmation of the two secretly dating finally came at Akash Ambani’s engagement. Standing loud and proud, Priyanka introduced her videsi prince in the most desi way possible; wearing a bright red sari.
The Proposal
After two months of dating, Nick Jonas knew Priyanka was the one. To woo her lady love, the gentleman pulled out all the stops. Looking for the ideal ring, he went shopping at Tiffany & Co. and shut down the store to ensure the utmost privacy. (Sweet Home Alabama, anyone?) Finding the perfect sparkler for his girlfriend, he proposed to her on her 36th birthday, in a romantic, fairytale-like setting with just the two of them. OMG!
Engagement Ring
While official details from Tiffany haven't come out yet, experts say the gorgeous ring is a high-quality customized cushion cut diamond with tapered baguettes. Weighing around 4 carats the ring looks to be somewhere around a G color, VS1 clarity which, be worth around a whopping $200,000. Wow! The piece was spotted in a selfie of Priyanka with friend & actress Raveena Tandon, at a party by Manish Malhotra.
Roka
Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas’ engagement was an event filled with color, tradition, and style. Celebrations began with a Punjabi roka ceremony at Priyanka’s Mumbai residence on Saturday morning. Within hours of the ceremony, few pictures surfaced of the two doing puja had already hit the Internet.
The ceremony was an intimate affair with only the couple’s family & closest friends including mom Madhu Chopra, brother Siddharth, actor cousin Parineeti Chopra, manager Anjula Acharia, screenwriter Mushtaq Shiekh, Salman Khan’s sister Arpita Khan Sharma, VJ-model Anusha, Entrepreneur Maneesh K.
