In an interview with Filmfare, Parineeti gave everyone some scoops about Nick’s proposal to Priyanka and shared her reaction after her Mimi didi gave her the ‘good news’. Coming back to this later, let us tell you something really interesting from that interview. One day, when Parineeti came to know that her sister is having a bad day, she texted her soon-to-be-jiju about the same.

Just like a doting sister, Parineeti shared, “The other day, when she wasn’t having a good day, I texted him saying just take care of her. He’s so sweet and mature. Touchwood!” Isn’t it sweet? About the 3 am video call she got from Priyanka and Nick, Parineeti stated, “The day it happened, I was the first one to get a call. But I was part of their story even before it happened. The day he proposed to her, it was her birthday. I got a missed call from her at 3 am. I knew she was holidaying. I Facetimed her.”
The Namaste England star further added, “She showed me the ring and I almost fainted. Both Priyanka and Nick (Jonas) were there on call. They were like we had to tell you first. I started crying on the call. It became all emotional and beautiful. Obviously, Badi Mama (Madhu Chopra) and Siddharth (her brother) knew about it. Nick had come to India to ask Badi Mama for her consent. He’s really a sweet person, he came to seek permission. We went to Goa for a trip.” (Also Read: Parineeti Chopra Reveals 'Joota Chupai' Plans With 'Jiju' Nick Jonas At His Wedding With Priyanka)
Speaking about the reaction when Priyanka told her that she is dating Nick, Parineeti was quoted as saying, “She called me one day and said she was coming to India with Nick. I said tell me all about it. Initially, I just knew that there was someone special in her life. But when she told me he was coming to India with her, I knew something serious was going on between them. I met him. There were only eight to ten of us that night. I was the only one from the family, rest were Priyanka’s friends. We chilled all night with him. Of course, I couldn’t be like, ‘Hi I’m your fan’. But he was chivalrous and took good care of all of us. I could see they were extremely serious about each other. I’m so happy for them.”

While everyone is wondering when they will get to see Priyanka and Nick as bride and groom, Parineeti has already planned about stealing her jiju’s shoes. Elaborating on the same, Parineeti remarked, “Of course! I’m already negotiating the money I want from Nick. I’ve told him I’m the most important saali.” On Nick’s 26th birthday, Parineeti shared the first family picture on her social media handle, and captioned it, “Happppy bday Nick! @nickjonas this year love and lady luck is sorted, so now I can only wish you all the happiness in the world! Throwback to the first family picture we all ever took. @priyankachopra @tam2cul @siddharthchopra89”.
And when Priyanka made everything official with Nick Jonas with a roka ceremony in Mumbai, Parineeti shared a photograph hugging her Mimi didi. And wrote, “Today I witnessed magic and a fairytale ... When we were kids, mimi didi and I used to play “ghar ghar”. We would pretend to be shy brides, have imaginary children, and serve tea to our husbands! cheesy, but its because we always believed in the magic of love and hoped we would both find that perfect man for us one day!! Today there was no pretending. I cant think of a more a perfect man for her. Like I said this morning, there are two ways of judging a human being. One - travel with them, and two, eat with them. Nick, I have done both with you. And so I know you’re perfect for her!! Love her, because she loves you like mad! Protect her, because she's strong, but a soft soul inside. I love you both and wish you all the happiness forever!!!!! HAPPY ROKA AND FUTURE WEDDING!!” (Also Read: Parineeti Chopra Reveals Details About Nick's Proposal To Priyanka, Says She Cried Over Video Call)
