Priyanka Chopra's sister-in-law Neelam Upadhyaya says she got skin allergy after Haldi ceremony, shares pics

Neelam Upadhyaya, Priyanka Chopra’s sister-in-law, shared a shocking photo of a severe skin allergy following her Haldi ceremony. Despite a patch test before the event, the combination of turmeric paste and sun exposure led to burns. Neelam reached out to her followers for remedies to ease the discomfort.

Priyanka Chopra’s sister-in-law, Neelam Upadhyaya, recently shocked her followers with a photo showing a severe skin reaction following her Haldi ceremony. Neelam, who got married to Priyanka’s brother Siddharth Chopra on February 7, revealed on Instagram that she was dealing with a painful skin allergy potentially triggered by the Haldi paste used during the ritual. In a candid Instagram story, Neelam shared a photo of the allergic reaction that had developed around her collarbone, asking for advice from her followers. “What on Earth????? I think it’s a reaction of the haldi paste to the sun. Although I did a patch test a few days before the function and everything was okay. Any remedies?” she wrote. Despite the patch test, which appeared to show no issues prior to the event, it seems the combination of the Haldi paste and sun exposure caused her skin to react harshly, leading to visible burns and discomfort. The Haldi ceremony is a significant pre-wedding tradition in our Indian weddings, where turmeric paste is applied to the bride and groom for good luck and radiant skin. For this occasion, Neelam and Siddharth coordinated their outfits in beautiful traditional yellow attire. Siddharth wore a yellow kurta paired with black sunglasses, while Neelam opted for an elegant ensemble consisting of a strappy blouse, skirt, and dupatta, with white accessories completing the look. Priyanka Chopra, who attended the wedding celebrations, also donned a stunning yellow lehenga for the Haldi ceremony.
