Accordingly After a section of social media users cracked down on the use of firecrackers at the wedding celebrations of Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra and American singer Nick Jonas in Jodhpur, animal rights organization PETA has raised a concern about the use of a horse and elephant at their nuptials. PETA India posted on Twitter on Monday "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".
Meanwhile according to PETA India CEO Manilal Valliyate, "Priyanka has been ill served by not being advised of the firestorm that would be caused by participating in animal abuse". Valliyate said in a statement "It doesn't make a person look big or glamorous to promote cruelty to animals who has no choice but to serve as it makes them look small. Overwhelmingly, these days PETA is delighted to see so many celebrities feel passionately about protecting animals”.
Moreover Priyanka and Nick had a three day wedding extravaganza, complete with a colorful mehendi gala, a friendly cricket match, a sangeet function and two weddings following each of their customs, at Jodhpur's Umaid Bhawan Palace and the celebrations were attended by close family and friends.
