MUMBAI, 30 Nov (Reuters) - The star of the television series Quantico Priyanka Chopra and American singer Nick Jonas are scheduled to marry this weekend in a two-day ceremony, in a place considered the most opulent royal palace in India.
Chopra, 36, and Jonas, 26, got engaged this year after meeting at a post-Oscars reunion in 2017.
The couple arrived with their families in the western Indian city of Jodhpur on Thursday and headed to the Umaid Bhawan Palace, where the wedding will take place.
"People will need vacations after this marriage," Chopra said in an interview with the magazine Vogue published on Thursday.
The palace is the home of the Jodhpur royal family and is considered the sixth largest private residence in the world. Part of the palace has been converted into a hotel.
A night's stay in the presidential suite can cost more than 500,000 rupees ($7,168), according to the hotel's website.
Details about the wedding have been scarce, but Hollywood actors Dwayne Johnson, Lupita Nyong'o and talk show host Kelly Ripa were scheduled to attend, Indian media reported.
Vogue announced two ceremonies, a traditional Hindu service and a Christian service, officiated by Jonas's father.
"The groom will enter the wedding on horseback, a popular tradition in most North Indian weddings," the magazine said.
Chopra, who appeared on three seasons of the ABC crime drama Quantico, is one of the leading actresses of Bollywood.
Nick and his brothers Ken and Joe formed a rock band called The Jonas Brothers in 2005, and rose to fame as Disney teen stars. The group broke up in 2013.
