Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra have confirmed they are engaged. The Texan singer, formerly part of the Jonas Brothers, and the Bollywood superstar held a private engagement ceremony in Mumbai on Saturday. For the last three weeks there were rumours about the pair's engagement but they had not confirmed it until now. No date has yet been announced for the wedding.

The engagement party - called roka - is a chance for the couple to exchange gifts and makes the union of their families public. Priyanka won the Miss World pageant in 2000 and went on to make more than 50 films in India and became one of Bollywood's highest-paid actresses. She broke in to acting in the US with a role in the TV series 'Quantico' and film roles in 'Ventilator,' 'Baywatch' and 'A Kid like Jake.' Jonas was part of a band with his brothers Joe and Kevin and got a big following on the Disney Channel through films like 'Camp Rock.' At 25, he is a decade younger than Chopra. He is said to have proposed to her in London in June.
