Priyanka reaches Delhi to attend Parineeti's engagement

Preparations are in full swing for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chadha and actress Parineeti Chopra's engagement ceremony on Saturday. The ceremony, to be held at the Kapurthala House, will be attended by around 150 guests, including family and close friends, a party source said.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will also be present along with various other political leaders. For the special occasion, Chadha will be wearing an achkan from his uncle, designer Pawan Sachdeva's collection, while Chopra will dress in a Manish Malhotra lehenga.


According to the party source, the ceremony will begin at 5 pm with the Sukhmani Sahib path, followed by Ardas. Engagement will take place at 8 pm.

The actress' cousin, film star Priyanka Chopra Jonas, reached Delhi on Saturday morning to attend the ring ceremony. Fashion designer Manish Malhotra has also arrived in the national capital for the function.

Guests would be served dishes ranging from traditional delicacies to vegan options.

Rumours of the Rajya Sabha MP and Chopra's wedding started in March after they were spotted together in Mumbai. The duo reached Delhi on Tuesday for the engagement.

On the eve of their engagement, Chopra's Mumbai home and Chadha's government residence in Delhi were decorated with lights and flowers.

Bonnie Greer, playwright who never lost her edge, dies at 77

Bonnie Greer left Chicago's South Side wanting to be a lawyer, until a professor told her outright that he didn't think women belonged in law. She switched to theatre instead, studied under David Mamet in Chicago and Elia Kazan at New York's Actors Studio, and by the late 1970s was living in Manhattan's West Village. Then AIDS started taking her friends, one after another, and by 1986 she'd had enough. A production brought her to the Edinburgh Festival that year. She stayed in Britain for good, telling the Sunday Times two decades later that the move had saved her life — she needed, in her words, to "escape the shadow of death."

That's the Bonnie Greer most obituaries will lead with: American, Black, an outsider who came to Britain running from something. What's stranger, and more interesting, is what she became once she got here.
