Arpita Khan, Mickey Contractor join Priyanka-Nick wedding revelry

TIL Desk Bollywood/ The majestic Umaid Bhawan Palace here is buzzing with guests who have flown in from different parts of India and abroad to attend the revelry of actress Priyanka Chopra and her American singer beau Nick Jonas, who will wed on December 2.

The palace, which is divided into three wings — a hotel, a musuem and the royal residence — is almost like a fortress with private security guarding the venue carefully. But a steady stream of guests have been arriving at the airport.

Priyanka’s friend and actor Salman Khan’s sister Arpita Khan Sharma arrived here on Friday with her son Ahil. Others who came in included designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, “Dostana” director Tarun Mansukhani, celebrity make-up artiste Mickey Contractor, singer-actress Manasi Scott as well as Nick’s youngest brother Franklin Jonas.

Chand Mishra, who landed here, told the media: “Priyanka is a star, and she is making history. She is marrying an international star… And while a lot of Bollywood stars are marrying at international destinations, but Priyanka has come from Hollywood to India, and in Jodhpur’s palace… It will be remembered.”
