Singer Palak Muchhal of "Chahu Main Ya Naa" fame also performed during the event.
"Ishq Ke Parindey" is set to hit theatres on April 24. Both Rishi and Priyanka are making their Bollywood debut with the movie.
"I used to be very reserved and serious. While working on the film I opened up a lot. And I can only thank my wonderful team for it," said Rishi, who has earlier done theatre in college.
Priyanka, who will be seen in the role of Pakistani girl, said she had to undergo a complete personality change for the film.
"I am a tom boy. But in this film I am only wearing salwar suits and clad in burkha. So it was very different from what I am in real life. Even the dialect was Urdu so that was another challenge. Our director had to work very hard on me," the debutante said.
