Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra’s brother Siddharth recently tied the knot with Neelam Upadhyaya. The actress’ brother is a chef-turned-producer and entrepreneur who owns a multi-crore business. He was about to get married twice before but it could never happen.
In October 2014, Siddharth Chopra and his then-girlfriend Kanika Mathur had an intimate roka ceremony. It unfortunately got called off later. A source close to the family shared, “Siddharth wants to focus on his career and his new venture, a pub-lounge in Pune. Postponing the wedding was a significant decision for both families. Priyanka is also currently abroad, and the wedding cannot happen without her.”
Siddharth Chopra then got engaged to Ishita Kumar in New Delhi in October 2019 but the relationship could not go beyond. Siddharth’s mother, Madhu Chopra, explained the reason behind the cancellation to SpotboyE, saying, “My son Siddharth said he wasn’t ready for marriage yet and needed more time.”
Priyanka Chopra Jonas, the Desi Girl of Bollywood and a global icon, once opened up about a distressing encounter with a director when she was just 19 years of age.
“I was speaking to the director and I said, would you speak to my stylist and just explain to him what you want in terms of clothes and stuff. I’m standing right next to him," Priyanka said while speaking at the Forbes Power Women’s Summit.
Recalling his comments, she continued, “He picks up the phone and goes, ‘Listen, people are going to come into the movies to watch her when she shows her panties. So it needs to be really short so that I can see her panties. You know those people sitting up front? They should be able to see her panties.’ And he said it like four times. And it’s not even pretty in Hindi. It’s worse."
