Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra and politician Raghav Chadha got married in a beautiful ceremony on Sunday evening at the Leela Palace in Udaipur. The couple ho got engaged in May this year exchanged vows in front of family and friends. Several high profile people like Punjab CM Bhagwat Mann and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal attended the wedding. However, Parineeti's cousin and superstar Priyanka Chopra did not attend the wedding.

Priyanka Chopra lives in Los Angeles with her husband Nick Jonas and daughter Malti Marie. Ahead of the wedding, Priyanka had shared a picture of Parineeti and wished her 'little one' happiness as they began a new phase in her life. This confirmed that the actress was not going to attend the wedding. Earlier, it was reported that Priyanka would be attending the wedding without Nick Jonas as he was touring with his brothers, Joe and Kevin.

After the wedding, on Monday morning, Priyanka Chopra' smother Madhu Chopra was spotted by the paparazzi at the Udaipur airport. As she waited for her luggage, she sweetly engaged with the paparazzi who had some questions for her. When asked how the wedding ceremony was, with a smile, Chopra said that it was lovely.

Further when the paparazzi asked her about Priyanka's absence at the wedding, Chopra said,"Kaam kar rahi hai (She is busy with work)". The paparazzi also asked her about how the bride looked at the wedding. "Waise hi khoobsurat hai, aur acchi lagi (She already looks beautiful but looked even more beautiful at the ceremony)". She also revealed that the couple had a strict no gift policy at the wedding.

Earlier reports had also suggested that Priyanka had prior work commitments. Reportedly, due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strik in Hollywood, Priyanak's schedule has gone for a toss. Filmmaker-actor Farhan Akhtar who is set to direct Priyanka in her next Hindi film with Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif had also cited the same reason for the delay behind the film's making. During an interview with Variety, Farhan Akhtar claimed that the dates were an issue behind the delay. He told the publication, "We just have issues with dates, and the actor's strike that's happened has put Priyanka's dates into a huge tizzy with what can happen and what can't, so I've started genuinely believing that that film now has a destiny of its own. It'll happen when it has to, we'll see."
