Let me point out another good point.

I’m just stunned that there are people in the world who think Chopra is the one who is marrying up in the Chopra-Jonas union. I’m a white girl with pretty pedestrian taste in entertainment and zero knowledge about Bollywood or other aspects of Indian pop culture, and even I can see how Priyanka is head and shoulders…

I call bullshit on the idea that they don’t know how famous she is because she is white. I’m white, don’t read tabloid/celebrity magazines, I have never seen a thing she has been in, yet somehow I manage to not only know who she is but immediately think he married WAY out of his league.

LOL! “safe space from our wedding traditions”. I am cheering for you from the back! My BFF is Punjabi and I have been to so many of his family’s engagement and wedding parties, and as a white person, I have to say brown parties are the best parties. I actually laughed out loud at the comments about how monetizing a…

You know what, this type of write-up of their relationship confirms everything I’ve always believed about my white peers growing up in a white majority state of the US. I’ve always gotten statements that sum up I’m “hot for a brown girl” since men and women would only ever comment on specific attributes/body parts to…

And maybe if she was hooking up with, say, Brad Pitt or some other legit star or power player, that pattern could be somewhat relevant, but Nick Freaking Jonas? Really?

Ditto. I don’t know anything about her, but I know that “bonafide Bollywood star” tops “Jonas brother” any day of the week in terms of fame.

I am a white, American male who has never even seen a Bollywood film before, and I still understand that the Jonas Brother is Pete Davidson to Pryanka’s Ariana Grande. Besides that, I’m pretty sure people are free to marry whoever the hell they want and I don’t really think a necessary function of the American media…

Yesss, I’ve been waiting for Prachi’s take on this. I’ve been disgusted with the amount of xenophobia and ignorance over the past few days.

Ok, two quick comments: first, imagine a world where someone could straightfacedly say that marrying [checks] Nick Jonas(?) [shrugs] is the summit of an incredible scam to achieve riches and fame in America? And, second, MAN would I like to be scammed into being in a relationship with Priyanka Chopra?!? (Why yes. Yes,…

These articles need to stop getting written this way. Celebrities use their lives to up their profile all the time. Both of them have their audiences and have clearly decided to use this wedding to expand their reach. Both management teams leaned all the way into the media and corporate attention. It is a fame grab…

Thank you! I couldn’t believe the comments on that article. 

It’s crazy to me how many racist, sexist, and ageist comments about this wedding I’ve read on this site for supposed liberal feminists. The comments like “how can they throw such an elaborate wedding in a country where millions are starving” (Yes only white people are allowed to be extravagant),  “Aren’t they…

I can’t get my head around the take that Priyanka is bad for wanting a marriage but Nick is cool because he just wanted to fuck her. Wow.

K Jezebel but don’t pretend like the gossip articles that were posted about this earlier weren’t full of the same snark, especially ignoring the normalcies of Indian weddings and comparing them to Western traditions (that veil snark tho!)

Priyanka Chopra had this extravagant wedding in a country where almost a quarter of the population lives in extreme poverty. Half of all Indian children under five are malnourished because they don’t have access to food.

Obviously not to this scale and cost but every Indian wedding I’ve been to has been pretty massive.

Did he just do a fake tear wipe? 

It’s not a real registry. She’s promoting a bunch of stuff on Amazon, and in exchange Amazon donated $100k to UNICEF in honor of the work she’s done with them.

Beard trimmer?
