[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Rumours are in the air that star couple Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas soon may head for divorce.
As per reports in reputed international magazine Ok!, the two are headed for a divorce. The magazine reported that even Jonas family wants their son to split from Priyanka due to their constant fights.
According to a quote in this magazine, “Priyanka and Nick have been fighting about everything be it work, partying, spending time together. The bottom line is that Nick and Priyanka rushed into things and now they’re paying the price. Their marriage is hanging by a thread. Nick has seen a controlling side to Priyanka which he clearly wasn’t aware of before tying the knot. Another thing of Priyanka which irks Nick is her temper issues.”
The source has further stated that both of them are now realizing that they indeed jumped to the wedding without even knowing each other completely.
“There are whispers that Nick and Priyanka got married so quickly they didn’t take the time to draw up a prenup. No one would put it past her to make things difficult for Nick should they divorce,” added the source.
While one might wonder that the above piece of news is a false alarm as the couple are often seen either partying or indulging in PDA, which is evident from their social media handle, the magazine claims that all the social media PDA is just a mere gimmick to cover up the feud which is growing between the newly married couple.

Launched on July 14, 2023, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, Chandrayaan-3’s journey has reached a crucial stage. A senior ISRO official noted that the final landing maneuver is complex, with the decision to proceed made two hours prior to the scheduled action. This decision can be delayed if unfavourable conditions prevail.
The official further shared that if the landing is postponed, Chandrayaan-3’s operational time on the Moon might be reduced from the intended 14 Earth days to around 10 days. This implies that the lunar south pole landing of Chandrayaan-3 could potentially occur on August 26 or 27.
