According to reports, things didn’t turn out well as church denied actress’ grandmother’s burial. Reportedly, a church spokesperson told media persons that Priyanka’s grandmother had broken ties with the church after her marriage to a Hindu. “One is automatically disowned by the church under such circumstances. She could have re-joined the church while alive. But once a person is dead, we cannot accept the body for burial,” he added.

However, the funeral was then conducted at St Thomas Jacobite Church at Ponkunnam, Kerala. Well, it seems Madhu Jyotsna Akhouri’s last wish will stay unfilled due to church’s unacceptance to perform last rites.
Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra is back in town and will soon be heading to New York for the shooting of Quantico’s second season. She also shared a picture on her Instagram handle with a caption, “Rest in peace Nani. #Kerala #FinallyBackHome”
