Actor Parineeti Chopra and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chadha will marry in Udaipur this weekend. The bride and groom arrived yesterday to a grand welcome at the airport which was decorated for the ladkiwale, baraatis and guests. The wedding will take place in the Leela Palace while the baraat will travel from the iconic Lake Palace by boat. The bridal party was spotted taking a boat across Lake Pichola to the hotel yesterday. A mehendi ceremony was held yesterday and today's programme includes a haldi and sangeet. It appears that Priyanka Chopra, who is Parineeti's cousin, may or may not attend the wedding - her Instagram activity this morning indicated that she was still in Los Angeles but she could still take a private plane. Some of Raghav Chadha's AAP colleagues and other political leaders landed in Udaipur today, among them Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann. Also on the guest list are Karan Johar and Manish Malhotra, who has designed the bride's outfits. The pre-wedding festivities began earlier this week in New Delhi. An ardas was held at Raghav's residence followed by a Sufi night at which the guest list included cricketer Harbhajan Singh. Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha got engaged in New Delhi in May. Priyanka flew from Los Angeles to attend.
