Fans have praised Priyanka Chopra for breaking with tradition to ask her mother to walk her down the aisle.

The Bollywood actress, 36, married American singer Nick Jonas, 26, in a lavish three-day ceremony in Jodhpur, India, over the weekend with his father, pastor Paul Kevin Jonas Sr, officiating their Christian ceremony.

And fans were thrilled to see how Priyanka, who lost her father to cancer in 2013, for choosing her mother Madhu Chopra to walk her down the aisle, with one tweeting: 'Priyanka Chopra's mum walking her down the aisle was as anti-patriarchal as it can get.'

Flooding Twitter with compliments, some fans also pointed out how the actress' close friend Meghan Markle chose to begin her own walk down the aisle alone at her wedding to Prince Harry in May, before her now father-in-law Prince Charles took her arm when she reached the nave as she walked the remainder of the distance to her groom.

And commending Priyanka's mother for filling both parents' shoes, one wrote: 'Madhu Chopra fills in the role of the father and the mother beautifully, daughter down the aisle'.

Meanwhile one fan admitted she was touched at the sight, tweeting: 'Awesome my heart melted when saw her mother walking her down the aisle to meet nick! Beautiful ceremony.'

And praising her non-conformist move, another remarked: 'A mother walking her daughter down the aisle on her wedding ! Priyanka is a rebel heart'.

Speaking about the emotional ceremony, Priyanka told Hello magazine: 'It was all tears. All tears. I could not hold it in. I think I was nervous and scared.'

Nick, who was seen wiping away a tear at the altar, said: 'The emotions were running high during the ceremonies, I think especially during the Western wedding for me.'

Although Priyanka has not yet addressed her mother walking her down the aisle, it seemed an obvious move considering the close relationship she shares with her mother, a doctor, magnified by the loss of her father.

Ashok Chopra passed away at the age of 64 in 2013 after a long battle with cancer.

Speaking about her father's death in 2014, Priyanka admitted she should have taken six months off instead of throwing herself into filming for Omung Kumar's Mary Kom.

Reflecting on how she dealt with it at the time, she told reporters at the Toronto Film Festival that year: 'I started filming the movie about four days after my dad passed away.

'I was training for it when he was really ill because I had to develop a body like a boxer. Then I had to take a few weeks off because dad got really ill.'

But she continued filming after he died, adding: 'I channeled all my grief into this movie. And that's what drove me. It pushed me.

'Every night I would go back home and my mum would say just get into the bathtub and I cried.

'Every night I would say, I don't think I can do this. And every morning I would wake up and say, 'why not? I can do this'.

Some followers even compared Priyanka's 'feminist' mum giving her away to Meghan beginning her walk down the aisle alone at her wedding to Prince Harry in May, before Charles gave her away
