She was like, ‘I need to have another wedding for the other 150,000 people that I know! How can I not invite my jeweler? How can I not invite my hairdresser?’ So it was a whole conversation.” Chopra’s mother wasn’t the only one who was feeling some feelings about the wedding’s guest list. DeGeneres asked Chopra why she wasn’t invited to the wedding, especially given her early support of the Jonas brothers. “I think I had the Jonas Brothers on first, before any (of the other TV hosts), they were here really, really young,” DeGeneres said. “Then, Nick lived in my condo, I was his landlord. But I guess I was cut off.” Chopra countered this claim, by jokingly responding that they were “so offended that you didn’t even respond to our invite though.” “That’s not true,” DeGeneres said in protest. “There was no invite.” Chopra, however, had the last word on the matter. “We were so offended that you didn’t even respond to our invite,” Chopra said. “It’s so true! I was like, ‘We’re not good enough for Ellen? She wouldn’t come to India? She doesn’t even respond anymore? Nick, you’ve had such a good relationship with her …’ I was very offended for him, honestly. But I’m just the wife. I don’t know anything …” Watch the full exchange below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5516411/priyanka-chopra-on-ellen/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5516411/priyanka-chopra-on-ellen/"},"headline":"Ellen Was Not Invited to Priyanka Chopra's Wedding So She Called Her On It","datePublished":"2019-01-30T16:38:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:57:11.454Z","description":"\"There was no invite\"","url":"https://time.com/5516411/priyanka-chopra-on-ellen/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc4b7edbe876c039f/6989443a22fb85d604e27aef/priyanka-chopra-wedding-ellen-degeneres.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc4b7edbe876c039f/6989443a22fb85d604e27aef/priyanka-chopra-wedding-ellen-degeneres.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Longchamp - Backstage - September 2018 - New York Fashion Week","caption":"Longchamp - Backstage - September 2018 - New York Fashion Week","creditText":"Dimitrios Kambouris—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5516411/priyanka-chopra-on-ellen/","name":"Ellen Was Not Invited to Priyanka Chopra's Wedding So She Called Her On It"}}]}] ```
