Actor Parineeti Chopra can't stop gushing over her brother-in-law, American pop singer Nick Jonas. In an fun TV show, the 'Kesari' actress said he was well prepared for his Indian wedding ceremony with her cousin sister Priyanka Chopra. The power couple got married in India in December last year, and had three-day wedding festivities at Jodhpur's royal Umaid Bhawan Palace, where they exchanged wedding vows as per both Christian and Hindu rituals in two separate ceremonies.

Parineeti said she got lots of money in "dollars and rupees" as well as diamond rings in the 'joota chupai' ceremony. The Indian ceremony is a tradition wherein the sister-in-law hides the shoes of the groom and then asks for money or gift in return. Parineeti opened up about the wedding in a show, and said, "I got a lot of money, I got dollars and rupees, in millions and we also got diamond rings. We also got bags, we got a lot of stuff. He was very generous."

"He was actually more prepared than all of us. So I thought I was the smart one and I was going to go and do this ‘rasam’ (ceremony) and take only cash from him. They were more than ready because when the time came, he literally just signalled to someone and all of us cousins looked at the back, and there was this guy with a giant tray full of diamond rings and all of us got diamond rings and the bridesmaids got a lot of gifts. So I am proud to show off that Nick jiju is very generous," she added.

When asked whether Priyanka had any bridezilla moments at the wedding, Parineeti said, "We honestly thought of it before the wedding happened but actually not at all."
