As the hangover of the Deepika-Ranveer nuptial affairs in Italy starts to wean off of everyone’s social and mental system, it’s a cue for the paparazzi to latch on to the next bandwagon.
It’s a race against time, mind you, to present the audience with the next reason to #FOMO.
But what do you do when there is very little to work with; and even little to put #GOALs on?
Well, you got to with what you’ve got, and in the mad rush to publish the next viral celebrity content, there might be a report on whose ‘facts’ everyone does not agree.
That is exactly what had happened when a leading yellow paper reported that Parineeti Chopra may not be sister Priyanka Chopra’s bridesmaid on her special day.
ICYMI, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are to be hitched in a three-day long wedding function, from November 30 to December 2 in Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
Coming back to the news that Parineeti Chopra will not be the bridesmaid in Priyanka Nick’s shaadi, well, Pari is not at all pleased with it.
Quote tweeting the publication in question, Pari urged the writers to run a fact check before making any claims.
Does that mean they got it all wrong and Parineeti Chopra is very much the bridesmaid for Priyanka Chopra?
Or does that mean the article’s claim that Pari asked 5 million dollars from her jiju Nick Jonas in exchange for the ‘juuta chupaye’ ceremony is the uncorroborated reportage in question?
Your guess is as good as mine.
All we can hope that in this season of celebrity weddings, hope you train your nose to sniff out the fake news and speculations from the real stuff from your social media feeds.
