Priyanka Chopra: Be with a man ‘who respects the hard work you put into your life’

On Sunday, Priyanka Chopra had a big bridal shower AT Tiffany’s in New York. Many of her girlfriends were there to celebrate, including Lupita Nyong’o and Kelly Ripa. People Magazine made a big deal about how Nick Jonas wasn’t there, and while I do think that’s notable, I also think… it’s quite common for the soon-to-be groom to miss the BRIDAL shower. The bridal shower is mostly about the bride and her friends. Priyanka posted photos on her Instagram, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if this was some kind of sponcon for Tiffany’s.

The bridal shower is just a reminder that Priyanka and Nick really are going through with this wedding, even though some of us are still “?????” about them as a couple. Reportedly, their wedding will be in December, in India. Priyanka attended another event last night, and she was asked about what makes her relationship with Nick work, and how she knew he was The One. Her answer was… interesting.

“Truly this is what worked for me, he has to be someone who respects you. By that, I don’t mean makes coffee for you, not that. But someone who respects the hard work you put into your life. Who respects that if his work is important, so is yours. Or if he makes choices that are important to him, so is your opinion. That’s respect, and that’s incredible to have. Then everything is so easy because you give each other credit for your intelligence, you give each other the benefit of the doubt because you trust each other. There’s so much that comes out of that. I think don’t settle for less than that.”

I agree that no one should ever marry a guy who doesn’t respect your work, your job, your choices and your opinions. I also think Nick is that guy – he obviously worships Priyanka and respects her as a working woman. But I’m still left with a general feeling of “????”

    I still don’t understand them and am kinda shocked that they’re moving full-steam ahead with the wedding. I thought this was a PR thing, but clearly not. Good for them.

    That is the most extravagant bridal shower I’ve ever seen, lol! And yes, totally normal for the groom to not be in attendance. I think grooms come more often than they used to (at least to unwrap gifts or just thank people for coming), but the bridal shower is meant for her to celebrate with her family and friends.

    I get Cheryl Cole/Liam whatever vibes from these two.

    I’ve generally thought of a Bridal Shower like a Baby Shower- it’s traditionally a women’s party and more modernly it’s becoming an option for men to be included.
    Also, I love that answer. I think that’s so often overlooked. It sort of makes me think of the whole premise of the ‘Lean In’ book. A working marriage isn’t about sex or gestures or romance, well it is all of those things, but really making it work is about your lives being seen equally.

    I’m guessing since the wedding is reportedly going to be in India, not all her girlfriends will be able to attend. This might be a party for them. If Priyanka is going to do a full on Punjabi wedding, there will still be about 10000 more parties and celebrations to come !

    I don’t believe this couple is real. PR marriage

    • Chaine says:

      me either! i don’t feel that this site or others were giving either of these two people much press until they suddenly launched their “romance.”

    I like her answer. My recipe is respect, consideration and trust. If you don’t have those things, doesn’t matter how much you llllooooovvvveeee each other.

    When you read about what Nick and Priyanka have said about the qualties they actually wanted in a partner this relationship makes a lot more sense. You also have to acknowledge that a big part of this relationship is finding the person they want to be the father/mother of their children. When you see both them interact with children then it makes sense. They’re both from religious and musically inclined families. Nick also pursued her for nearly two years before they actually started dating. She knew from all the media coverage from the Met Gala the previous year that the only reason to date Nick is if she thought it was going the distance.

    I’m just bothered that she chose to wear Marchesa, blugh.

    This PR relationship is really going way too far.

    In that photo of the two of them:

    Did…. did he… put a grey streak… in his hair? Is he trying to look older?

    The pessimist in me thinks this relationship happened after her show was cancelled and shes afriad of losing fame so gets with a celeb in a quick relationship to generate attention
