Her star cousin Priyanka Chopra’s wedding with American popstar Nick Jonas is supposedly just around the corner. A few days ago, the couple was spotted in Jodhpur, ostensibly looking at prospective wedding venues.

Needless to say, Parineeti Chopra is over the moon that her ‘Mimi didi’ has found a perfect partner.

Given that she is the next daughter in line in the Chopra clan, we asked the Namaste England actress if marriage is on her mind, too. She said, “I want to get married in the next three years. Till then, I want to focus on my work and build my career. I want to do some good work.”

Parineeti shared that Priyanka and Nick’s engagement in August this year came as a surprise. PeeCee had quit a plum movie offer prior to that, and had made a trip to Mumbai with Nick, to introduce him to her family and close friends. Calling herself the ‘wedding spokesperson’ in the family, Parineeti added, “Nick and Mimi didi are not talking to anyone, so I have been doing it. He proposed to her so beautifully. They are very cute together. The entire family is excited right now. We all love Nick and his family. We met everyone and I think that the Jonas family is perfect for Mimi didi. She is a big star and she needed someone who understands her and appreciates her for who she is. Nick is that person. There’s more to Priyanka Chopra than her public persona. I was chilling with Nick when he was here a few days ago. It feels like a dream... seven-eight months ago, they were just seeing each other and now, they are engaged. The wedding will happen in good time, and I will be the first one to start dancing.”

When asked if she’d take to the stage and groove to her sister’s songs at her sangeet, Parineeti replied, “I have some of my own songs also, right? When the wedding is finalised and we have a detailed plan, we will decide the songs and who is dancing to what. Announcing the date for the big day is the couple’s prerogative, no one else’s. Nick and Mimi didi should do it.”

When Priyanka made her relationship official with Nick, social media was brimming with memes, talking about their age difference. “Oh really? I haven’t seen these memes, but those people don’t know Nick and Mimi didi. When people see them together, they will stop thinking about the age difference, because they are perfect together.”
