A day after Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas got hitched in a traditional Hindu ceremony, PETA India took to Twitter and wrote, “Dear Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas. Elephants for weddings live in chains and horses are controlled with whips, spiked bits. People are rejecting elephant rides and having horse-free weddings. Congrats, but we regret it was not a happy day for animals.”
This Is What PETA Tweeted:

It is believed that Nick Jonas made his entry to the wedding riding a horse. A video titled ‘Band, Baaja, Brutality’ showcasing the cruelty horses have to suffer during the wedding also backed PETA’s post.

Reacting to the same, PETA CEO, Manilal Valliyate said, “Priyanka has been ill served by not being advised of the firestorm that would be caused by participating in animal abuse. It doesn’t make a person look big or glamorous to promote cruelty to animals who has no choice but to serve. It makes them look small. Overwhelmingly, these days PETA is delighted to see so many celebrities feel passionately about protecting animals,”
Before this, the fireworks on the eve of their Christian wedding on December 1 also got lots of attention from the netizens, who slammed Priyanka of the double standard. It was Priyanka Chopra who was urging people to celebrate cracker free Diwali, as firecrackers harm asthma patient and animals.
