Their official pregnancy announcement came via a tender Instagram post that featured an illustration of tiny baby feet on a plate, with the caption:
“Our little universe on its way… Blessed beyond measure.”
A Fairytale Romance and Wedding
Parineeti and Raghav took fans by surprise with their engagement on May 13, 2023, in New Delhi, followed by an intimate and grand wedding ceremony in Udaipur on September 24, 2023.
Attended by close friends, family, and notable figures from both the film industry and political circles, the wedding was a blend of elegance and personal warmth. Reports suggest the two had been quietly dating for some time before taking their relationship public.
Parineeti’s Recent Work in Films
Professionally, Parineeti was last seen in the 2024 musical drama ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’, where she starred opposite Diljit Dosanjh. The film, directed by Imtiaz Ali, explored the passionate and tragic story of Chamkila and his wife Amarjot Kaur.
The ensemble cast also featured Apinderdeep Singh, Anjum Batra, Nisha Bano, and Kumud Mishra. The film garnered praise for its soulful narrative and is currently available for streaming on Netflix.
Family Bonds and Global Support
Parineeti shares a close relationship with her cousin, Priyanka Chopra, who was present during the engagement ceremony. However, Priyanka couldn’t attend the wedding due to prior commitments, though her support and love have remained constant throughout this journey.
