Priyanka Chopra‘s success story gets all the more motivating when one learns about her humble beginnings. She rose from a small town in Bareilly to become the Miss World, reign over Bollywood and then eventually win Hollywood. We can’t help but be proud of our desi girl!

PeeCee got married to American singer, Nick Jonas this weekend at the Umaid Bhawan palace in Jodhpur. It was a beautiful 3-day long extravaganza and our hearts are so full of joy for the beautiful couple. Meanwhile, the people of Bareilly – PC’s hometown – also participated in the #Nickyanka wedding in their own small way. The locals reportedly got together to decorate her ancestral house, illuminated it with fairy lights and distributed sweets to celebrate the wedding.

Parmeshwar Rai Pandey, the caretaker of Priyanka’s paternal house, told News18:

The family is quite busy in the wedding and they might have forgotten to give attention to this house. The people of Bareilly, along with the district administration have showered love on their daughter by coming together and decorating the house.

Aww! That’s so incredibly sweet. Priyanka’s mother, Madhu Chopra also told PTI:

Through caretaker Parameshwar Pandey, I came to know that people in Bareilly are celebrating Priyanka’s marriage, and I am proud of the residents. No wedding cards for Priyanka-Nick wedding were printed. Only selected persons were invited through phone. We are getting congratulatory messages from people of Bareilly. Owing to busy schedule, I am not able to say thanks. Thanks will be conveyed to all as soon as we get time.

Congratulations, Nick and Priyanka!
