Kangana Ranaut and Priyanka Chopra
While there has been a lot of talk in tinsel town about Priyanka Chopra and beau Nick Jonas' engagement, there hasn't been any official confirmation from either of the two, just yet. But now, the 'Queen' of Bollywood, Kangana Ranaut, has finally revealed that the 'Baywatch' star is 'extremely excited and happy' post the engagement.
At the recently held Vogue Beauty Awards 2018, Kangana was asked if she was looking forward to the 36-year-old's wedding, to which she replied, "I spoke to Priyanka the other day and I congratulated her. She seems excited and very happy. If such an event is taking place, I would love to celebrate with her because she is lovely and deserves all the happiness. She is a very close and a dear friend. I get very happy and excited about weddings and engagements," added the 'Manikarnika - The Queen of Jhansi' star.
The news of the couple's engagement came after Bollywood director Ali Abbas Zafar said that Priyanka opted out from his upcoming flick 'Bharat' in the 'Nick' of time, owing to a very "special reason". Priyanka and Nick, who reportedly dated for two months, were first spotted together at the 2017 Met Gala. The speculation about their relationship brewed after the pair met each other's family.
First, Chopra met Jonas' family at his cousin's wedding in New Jersey, after which Nick travelled to India to meet Chopra's mother.
