Parineeti Chopra, an actor, and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha are soon going to become parents. The couple announced the joyous news on Instagram on Monday that they are having their first child, beginning a new phase in their life as a couple.
A Sweet and Subtle Announcement
The news was made public through a collaborative Instagram post that immediately went viral. The two lovebirds posted a picture of a stunningly designed cake on a silver platter laid over a soft beige fabric. The cake was decorated with dainty white flowers, giving the post a peaceful, intimate touch. At the center of the cake, there were imprints of little baby feet in gold, accompanied by the inscription, “1 + 1 = 3” — a sweet and original reference to their expanding family.
In addition to the photo, the couple also posted a brief video clip in which Parineeti and Raghav are walking hand in hand in a green park, their backs turned to the camera, soaking in the silence of the moment.
The caption was, “Our little universe … on its way ????????????❤️ Blessed beyond measure.” Just as soon as the post went live, the comments were filled with congratulatory messages from fans, celebrities, and friends. Sonam Kapoor posted, “Congratulations darling,” and Bhumi Pednekar also commented with a warm “Congratulations.”
Hints Dropped on National TV
Curiously, the announcement comes just after Raghav Chadha alluded to their intentions to have children during a show appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show. While making light of it in a humorous segment, host Kapil Sharma teased about how parents tend to jump into “grandkid mode” the moment their children tie the knot.
When Kapil enquired if “laddu was being given yet,” Raghav smiled and responded, “Denge, aapko denge… good news jaldi denge!” leaving Parineeti clearly shocked and giggling. Though the remark was lighthearted then, now the couple appears to have been in the know about their soon-to-be bundle of joy.
A Love Story Blossomed into a Family
Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha got married on September 24, 2023, at a lavish ceremony organised at the Leela Palace Hotel in Udaipur, Rajasthan. Their wedding was graced by a number of celebrities, politicians, and close friends. Parineeti has been frequently seen endorsing her husband’s political life while pursuing her career in the entertainment sector since their marriage.
The news of the couple’s baby has filled their fans and well-wishers with immense happiness, who are now looking forward to further peeks into their parenthood journey.
