INDIA: Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra and American singer Nick Jonas landed in Jodhpur on Thursday, as their impending wedding, dubbed "Marriage of the Year" in India, reached its climax.

The superstar couple greeted and smiled at the photographers as they were leaving the airport's famous "Blue City" in India, where they will be tackling a series of lavish ceremonies this weekend.

Chopra, 36, and Jonah, 26, are due to be married on Saturday at the city's opulent Umaid Bhawan Palace in the western desert of Rajasthan.

They were joined in India by their families, including Jonas' brother, Joe Jonas, and his fiancée, the British actress and "Game of Thrones" star, Sophie Turner.

Indian media is full of details and speculation about the big day, while Bollywood fans are counting on the wedding of the year.

"She is one of the best actresses in India and she is beautiful. All India is excited about her wedding, "said a fan, Prakash Pujari, in front of a movie theater in Mumbai, home of Bollywood.

Chopra, who won the Miss World Contest in 2000, is one of Bollywood's most recognizable stars and one of the few to be successful in the West.

She has appeared in ABC's "Quantico" thriller series and has released songs with American hit-parsters, including Pitbull and The Chainsmokers.

Jonas first enjoyed success as a child, as leader of The Jonas Brothers with his two siblings.

The brothers, from a deeply religious Christian family, presented a healthy image, including wearing rings of purity to promote chastity.

In recent years, Jonas has redid himself a more mature and daring image and also turned to the acting game.

The couple got engaged in August, sharing photos on social media and showing them performing a prayer ritual in traditional Indian attire.
