Who is Neelam Upadhyaya? All about Priyanka Chopra's sister-in-law
Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently attended the engagement and hastakshar ceremony of her brother Siddharth Chopra and his fiancée Neelam Upadhyaya in Mumbai. On Monday, the couple shared breathtaking engagement photos on Instagram, with Upadhyaya stunning in a pink lehenga adorned with intricate golden embroidery, while Chopra matched her in a golden sherwani and coordinating half coat. Here's a closer look at Priyanka's future sister-in-law.
Upadhyaya's journey in the film industry
Born in 1993, Upadhyaya has been part of the film industry for nearly a decade. She made her acting debut in 2012 with the Telugu film Mr. 7. Her initial venture into the film industry was supposed to be in 2010, but the project was canceled. She later entered Tamil cinema with her 2013 debut Unnodu Oru Naal. Despite her successful career, Upadhyaya maintains a relatively low profile on social media, with around 21.4k followers on Instagram.
Upadhyaya and Chopra's relationship timeline
Rumors about Upadhyaya and Chopra's relationship began in 2019 when they were spotted together at a Ganesh Chaturthi celebration. They were later seen with Priyanka and her husband, pop sensation Nick Jonas at Mukesh Ambani's Holi party in 2020. Earlier this year in January, the couple attended a party for Nick and his brothers in Mumbai following their Lollapalooza India concert.
The couple's roka ceremony was held in April
Back in April, the couple held a roka ceremony, which Priyanka also attended. She posted photos from the event on Instagram, featuring Nick and their daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. Meanwhile, on the work front, Priyanka recently completed the filming of her Hollywood movie The Bluff in Australia, directed by Frank E. Flowers. She also has Heads of State, starring Idris Elba and John Cena, lined up.
