On a scale of 1 to 10 in happiness, I'm on 12: Priyanka Chopra

Business Standard: After a "fairytale" wedding with American singer Nick Jonas, actress Priyanka Chopra is beaming with seamless joy.

"On a scale of 1 to 10 in happiness, I'm on 12," Priyanka told IANS on stage at her wedding reception at the Taj Palace Hotel here on Tuesday night, as Nick smiled away.

"I'm a fan of Indian weddings," said Nick, who has embraced Indian traditions since his 'roka' ceremony with Priyanka in Mumbai in August.

There was no trace of tiredness on the newly married couple's face despite almost a week full of celebrations.

But like Priyanka told IANS here, "It's all merry time... No time to be tired."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the reception to congratulate the newly-married couple. He was was escorted on stage by Priyanka's mother Madhu Chopra, and remained on stage for about 10 minutes, meeting Nick and Priyanka's families with folded hands and exchanging pleasantries.

Priyanka first made India proud by winning the Miss World crown in 2000, and then became a leading Bollywood actress with films like "Fashion", "Dostana" and "Mary Kom", followed by a rare successful crossover into Hollywood with American TV show "Quantico", while Nick and his brothers Kevin and Joe are known for having formed a pop-rock band, The Jonas Brothers, in 2005. The band split up in 2013.
