PRIYANKA MAKES STYLE STATEMENT AT MEGHAN’S WEDDING

SHE may have been there only as a guest, but Priyanka Chopra’s sense of style captured the attention of mil­lions at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in Windsor last Saturday (19).


Amal Clooney – who wore a yellow Stella McCartney dress – and Priyanka were widely considered the best dressed among all the famous guests at the most high-profile wedding of the year.

The Indian actress looked elegant in a chic lilac Vivienne Westwood cre­ation made specifically for her and a Philip Treacy wide-brimmed hat.

Straight after the wedding ceremo­ny, she attended the daytime gather­ing as part of the 600 guests who were hosted by the Queen at St George’s Hall in Windsor Castle.

A close friend of the bride, Priyanka was also on a select guest list of 200 people invited to the evening recep­tion at Frogmore House. She ramped up the temperature further in a siz­zling hot Dior gown, which proved to be so popular that my tweet about it was retweeted over 2,500 times and liked by more than 16,000 on Twitter.

One royal commentator, who was suitably impressed with Priyanka’s outfit choices, summed it up best when she joked, “Is it even legal to look this good as a guest at your friend’s wedding?”

The actress paid this touching trib­ute to Meghan after the moving wed­ding ceremony at St George’s Chapel. “Every once in a while there is a mo­ment when time stands still, that hap­pened today. You, my friend, were the epitome of grace, love and beauty. Every choice made at this wedding by you both will go down in history, not just because it was your wedding, but because this incredible wedding stood for change and hope. Both things that the world needs desperately.

“Thank you for being the perfect picture of all things good. Seeing your union and love blessed in front of my eyes made me so happy and tear up! I wish you both love happiness and to­getherness always.”

Priyanka has been friends with Meghan for nearly four years and had heaped praise on her in the lead up to the wedding, saying that the new Duchess of Sussex was born to be a global influencer and she was looking forward to Meghan performing phil­anthropic duties globally as a member of the royal family.

Also, when Priyanka does finally tie the knot, she is almost certainly guar­anteed a royal guest.

​Himesh Reshammiya's silly quest for acting stardom

IN THE early 1950s, legendary music icon Mukesh was so desperate to become a leading man that he stopped singing for major movies to focus on making an acting breakthrough.

Decades later, Sonu Nigam also tried his hand at acting by starring in a few films. What these two singing stars had in common was that they both failed as actors and quickly realised when to stop. Both quit acting, concentrated on music, and went on to have incredible singing careers.
