Twitterati reacts to Priyanka-Nick engagement

'Shoaib Malik can go home now, Nick Jonas is our national jiju,' said one user

Ever since Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas were spotted together at last year's Met Gala, the two have been the talk of the town. Rumours of their engagement were in full swing, however, the two made it official yesterday after the announcement on Twitter. While Priyanka and Nick have been received a lot of love from other celebrities and fans, Twitterati was quick to poke some harmless jokes.  Others lauded Priyanka staying true to her roots and bringing Nick to India for the festivities.

From there to here its been a whole journey
From questions raised on their age gap to all the mocking and negativity they made it
Love conquered 😭😭😭#PriyankaNickEngagement pic.twitter.com/EJCOaXk0R1

Also let's talk about how @priyankachopra is just so damn inspiring - she's getting married to who she wants, when she wants. Seeing a brown woman get married so blatantly outside Indian societal norms is incredible. She's doing things on her own terms #PriyankaNickEngagement
