The newlyweds tied the knot in an extravagant wedding ceremonies over several days at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur. They first got married  Saturday in a Christian wedding ceremony officiated by the groom's father. On Sunday, and they got married again in accordance with Hindu wedding rituals.

Prior to the wedding ceremonies,  the groom's and bride's families entertained each other with production numbers; and yes, the performances was pure Bollywood.

The couple's apparent joy was undiminished and theyi gave no sign of being bothered by a blog by Maria Smith published Dec. 5 in The Cut, accusing Chopra of scamming Jonas into marrying her to advance her career, has been taken down.

Joe Jonas, however, rushed to his brother's defense. “This is disgusting. @TheCut should be ashamed to have someone write such evil words,” Joe tweeted. “What Nick & Pri have is Beautiful Love. Thank u, Next.”

The unsubstantiated article sparked instant outrage and within 24 hours the publication apologized and deleted the original article.

Last night, the Cut published a post about Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra’s relationship that shouldn’t have gone up. We’ve received dozens of messages from readers expressing their anger. We want you to know that we hear you and we’re sorry. The whole piece missed the mark. There is no good explanation for this other than human error and poor judgment. This was a mistake, and we apologize to our readers and to Priyanka and Nick.

Fans took to social media to vent their displeasure.


For a publication that “shows women’s what they are made of” @TheCut has a lot to answer for . The article on @priyankachopra was sexist , racist and disgusting. Also it’s written by a woman which is so sad. It reeks of envy and bitterness. @mRiah shame on you! https://t.co/bmbbX7LrAT— Sonam K Ahuja (@sonamakapoor) December 5, 2018
I saw that piece in The Cut on Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas this morning, and after working out that it wasn’t just desperately failed satire, was honestly horrified: it was spiteful, unethical, racist. Glad they took it down, but I don’t think a one-line apology is  enough.— Guy Lodge (@GuyLodge) December 5, 2018
Smith, issued a public apology Saturday (Dec. 7) on her Twitter handle for her article containing 'racist' and 'sexist' elements towards the Quantico star.

“I want to sincerely apologize to Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, and to the readers, I offended and hurt with my words. I do not condone racism, xenophobia, or sexism. I take full responsibility for what I wrote, and I was wrong. I am truly sorry,” read her statement.
