Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra have confirmed they are engaged after just a few months together.
The Texan singer, formerly part of the Jonas Brothers, and the Bollywood superstar held a private engagement ceremony in Mumbai on Saturday. Both wore traditional Indian clothes.
The pair's engagement has been rumoured for about three weeks but they had not confirmed it until now.
No date has yet been announced for the wedding.
The couple shared identical photos from the ceremony on their respective Instagram pages, with Jonas calling Chopra the "future Mrs Jonas".
Future Mrs. Jonas. My heart. My love.

The engagement party - called a roka - is a chance for the couple to exchange gifts and makes the union of their families public.
Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner posted on Instagram, celebrating the official news of the engagement.
The actress, who is to marry Nick's brother Joe, said: "I'm so excited to welcome you into the family Priyanka Chopra. I love you both."
Wow. First I'm blessed with an incredible future brother-in-law, and now such an beautiful, inside and out, future sister-in-law. I'm so excited to welcome you into the family @priyankachopra . I love you both @nickjonas

Joe, who proposed to Turner last October, also tweeted, saying he "couldn't be happier" for his brother.
"Welcome to the family Priyanka Chopra," he wrote. "We love you."
Both couples have yet to announce a wedding date for their forthcoming nuptials.
Chopra and Jonas's engagement is one of a rash of recent quick celebrity engagements.
Earlier this year, singer Ariana Grande and comedian Pete Davidson decided after a few weeks of dating that they would get married.
And last month singer Justin Bieber got engaged to a former flame, model Hailey Baldwin, after getting back together with her.
