Priyanka was also present along with her husband Nick Jonas when Siddharth got engaged to Neelam Upadhyaya in April this year.
Who is Neelam Upadhyaya?
Siddharth works as a producer, while his fiancée Neelam Upadhyaya is an actress who has appeared in several Tamil and Telugu movies. Her first film, which was supposed to release in 2010, got cancelled, but she debuted as an actress two years later in 'Mr. 7', a Telugu movie. She also stepped into Tamil cinema in 2013 with her debut in the film 'Unnodu Oru Naal'.
The rumours about Neelam and Siddharth's relationship started circulating in 2019 when they were seen together at a Ganesh Chaturthi celebration. They were later spotted with Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra at the Ambanis' Holi party in 2020.
Siddharth was previously engaged to Ishita Kumari and prior to that, he dated Kanika Mathur.
