BOMBAY TIMES (June 23, 2018)

Priyanka Chopra and her alleged boyfriend Nick Jonas surprised fans and Mumbai’s paparazzi by making a sudden visit to the city on Thursday evening. The actress landed in Mumbai with Nick, an American singer, songwriter, actor, and record producer. They tried to avoid the paps by taking an alternative exit from the airport. However, the duo were captured boarding Priyanka’s car, with window shades rolled up to dodge the photographers. According to a source, Nick went to Priyanka’s Juhu home.

The actress reportedly plans to have a house-warming party for a new house that she has bought in Versova. Nick is expected to attend the bash. This will also give him an opportunity to meet PeeCee’s mother (Madhu Chopra) and close friends.

The actress has already met Nick’s brother Kevin and his wife at his cousin’s wedding in Atlanta, has hung out with his friends and is currently following some of his family members on social media. Nick and Priyanka’s social media comments continue to fan speculations about their relationship. While the two have been spotted hanging out together in America on several occasions, this is the first time that Priyanka and Nick have appeared on the Indian shores.

Amidst rumours that the 25-year-old singer-songwriter has asked her to move in with him in LA, the actress flew into the country with her beau

This East-meets-West love story seems straight out of a Bollywood movie. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas find themselves seated at the same table at a gala and get chatting. He asks her, “Hey, you wanna go together?” She agrees, and “it ended up working out”, so Priyanka told American comedian host Jimmy Kimmel when prodded on her blossoming relationship with the singer-songwriter Nick Jonas post the Met Gala after they walked in together and instantly set tongues wagging.

Though the couple has known each other for a while now, buzz is, things started getting serious at the engagement of Nick’s brother Joe with Sophie Turner last October. Over the last few weeks, since the curtains came down on her TV show Quantico, Nick and Priyanka have been inseparable, the 10-year age difference being of little consequence. In fact, the 25-year-old singer has apparently been telling pals that he loves it that his new girlfriend is older and more mature than his exes.

Close on the heels of reports that Nick has asked Priyanka to move in with him, she flew into the country in the early hours of Friday with her beau. Surprisingly, while in LA they have been clicked at concerts and ballgames together, they opted for some inexplicable cloak-and-dagger games the minute they stepped onto Indian soil at 4 am on Friday. Her mother’s car which had come to receive her and her guest was parked at an isolated spot at the airport and rolled up just five minutes before Priyanka stepped out, using a longer route and a different gate in an obvious attempt to give the paparazzi a miss. Two photographers managed to tail her to her residence but as soon as they were spotted, a black screen went up.

Late on Thursday when Mirror reached out to Priyanka’s mother, and quizzed her on the ‘Nick’ subject, Madhu Chopra said, “I don’t know who is spreading these stories. Somebody is starting these stories. I have really no idea about this. When I meet her (Priyanka) I will check with her.”

The 35-year-old-actress-producer is expected to start shooting for Ali Abbas Zafar’s period-drama Bharat, with Salman Khan, towards the end of July.

Her sudden visit back home has left many wondering — Is it to introduce Nick to her mother and take her blessings before the couple take their relationship further? Or to show him the sprawling Juhu home she bought over a year ago and has been renovating since? No one is telling. Mirror has learnt that PeeCee plans to host an intimate house warming celebration to introduce Nick to the extended family and her friends in Mumbai.

Sending paps into a tizzy, Priyanka Chopra brings down rumoured boyfriend Nick Jonas to Mumbai for a housewarming party

The rumoured romance that apparently began when they met at the Met Gala last year has reached desi shores - Priyanka Chopra flew down to India on Thursday night with Nick Jonas in tow. Understandably, the duo's arrival in Mumbai sent the paps, and their ardent fans into a tizzy. Hushed whispers suggest that besides getting a peek into his ladylove's life in India, the American singer is also keen to meet her mother, Dr Madhu Chopra, and hence the visit. It may be noted that Jonas' trip comes weeks after the actor attended his cousin's wedding in New Jersey and mingled with his family at the soiree.

It has been heard that Priyanka has planned a housewarming party - she purchased a sea-facing bungalow in Versova, a few years ago - to serve as the perfect occasion to introduce Jonas to her friends and family. A source reveals, "The party will take place over the weekend, and Nick will be the special guest of the evening. It will be an intimate affair with only her close friends in attendance. Last year was hectic for Priyanka as she had been shooting for the third season of Quantico in the US, leaving her little time for downtime. So, when talks of a housewarming party began, she felt it would be the perfect way to catch up with her near and dear ones."

It goes without saying that the rumoured couple will be the cynosure of all eyes at the evening. Within hours of landing in India, Priyanka and Jonas were spotted, hand-in-hand, heading out to a popular suburban restaurant for dinner with Madhu Chopra.

So, does Priyanka Chopra's mommy approve of rumoured boyfriend Nick Jonas?
