Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra and her husband, politician Raghav Chadha, have announced that they are expecting their first child. The couple shared the happy news on Monday through a heartwarming post that quickly went viral among fans and industry peers.
In the post, Parineeti and Raghav are seen walking hand-in-hand. The actress sported a white hoodie, black tights, and sneakers, while Raghav wore a beige coat with khaki pants. Adding a special touch, the couple revealed a cake with “1+1=3” written on it along with baby footprints, symbolizing their growing family. Parineeti captioned it: “Our little universe… on its way. Blessed beyond measure,” with emotional emojis.

Soon after, wishes poured in from across the film industry. Parineeti’s cousin Priyanka Chopra Jonas was among the first to comment, writing, “Congratulations” with a heart emoji. Ananya Panday shared, “Awww congratulations Pari!!” while Katrina Kaif dropped heart emojis. Sonam Kapoor added, “Congratulations darling,” and veteran actor Anupam Kher, Parineeti’s Uunchai co-star, commented, “Congratulations. Jai Ho!”
Other celebrities including Neha Dhupia, Huma Qureshi, Bhumi Pednekar, Nimrat Kaur, Masaba Gupta, Rakul Preet Singh, Sunil Grover, Manish Malhotra, and Kanika Kapoor also extended their heartfelt wishes.
Interestingly, the couple had hinted at this news during their recent appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show. When host Kapil Sharma playfully asked about family pressure to plan a baby, Raghav joked, “Denge aapko, denge… good news jaldi denge,” leaving Parineeti amused.
Parineeti and Raghav tied the knot on September 24, 2023, in an intimate yet grand wedding at The Leela Palace, Udaipur, attended by close family, friends, and prominent figures from politics and cinema.
On the work front, Parineeti was last seen opposite Diljit Dosanjh in Amar Singh Chamkila. Off screen, she has often spoken about how her romance with Raghav began in London, revealing that she instantly knew he was “the one” — even joking about once Googling his height before their relationship took off.
As the couple embarks on this new journey, fans and well-wishers eagerly await the arrival of their little one.
