Actor Priyanka Chopra’s younger brother, Siddharth Chopra, tied the knot with Neelam Upadhyaya in a vibrant wedding ceremony held in Mumbai on Friday. The event was filled with joy and excitement as numerous videos and pictures surfaced on social media, showcasing the baraat dancing to popular songs in a festive atmosphere before the main ceremony began. Among the highlights, Priyanka was seen energetically dancing to her iconic track, “Desi Girl,” from the 2008 film Dostana, alongside her husband, singer Nick Jonas, who joined her with a few dance moves, making the celebration even more memorable.
The wedding festivities saw the presence of many prominent guests, including Siddharth and Neelam’s families and friends. Notable attendees included Priyanka’s parents, Kevin Jonas Sr. and Denise Miller-Jonas, as well as Nita Ambani and Priyanka’s cousin, actor Parineeti Chopra, alongside her husband, AAP leader Raghav Chadha. As the festivities unfolded, a heartwarming video captured Priyanka assisting the bride, Neelam, towards the stage, while she also walked Siddharth to the mandap, embodying her role as a supportive sister.
Adding to the joyous atmosphere, Priyanka and Nick participated in various wedding rituals, contributing to the overall celebration with their charm and enthusiasm. The wedding ceremony adhered to Hindu traditions and took place at the Army Club in Juhu, commencing with the baraat’s arrival around 4:30 PM. A source revealed that the ceremony was intimate, surrounded by close family and friends, with the main wedding occurring between 6:00 and 6:30 PM. An after-party is planned to take place at Butterfly High restaurant in Mumbai’s Oshiwara area, ensuring the celebrations continue late into the night.
Priyanka arrived in India last month with her three-year-old daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, while Nick made his entrance in Mumbai just a day before the wedding. The couple looked stunning on this special day, with Priyanka in a beautiful blue lehenga styled with her hair in a bun, and Nick dressed in a cream bandhgala paired with matching pants. Parineeti opted for an ethnic ensemble featuring a blood-red blouse and jacket, complemented by Raghav in an off-white kurta with a brown jacket.
The wedding of Siddharth and Neelam reflects not just a personal union but also brings together esteemed families and friends in a celebration of love and commitment. Siddharth, who identifies himself as a producer on his Instagram profile, and Neelam, an actress known for her work in Telugu and Tamil films, got engaged in August 2024, following their Roka ceremony in April 2024. This event marks a significant milestone in their lives, and the visible affection and support from their loved ones set a heartwarming tone for the future.
