Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra and politician Raghav Chadha have officially stepped into parenthood! The couple, who tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony in Udaipur in September 2023, have welcomed their first child — a baby boy — on October 19, 2025.
The news was confirmed by the couple themselves through a joint social media post that melted hearts across the internet. Sharing the joyous update, Parineeti and Raghav wrote:
“He’s finally here! Our baby boy. And we literally can’t remember life before! Arms full, our hearts are fuller. First we had each other, now we have everything.… With gratitude, Parineeti & Raghav.”
The announcement instantly went viral, with celebrities and fans flooding their post with blessings and love. Fellow actresses Kriti Sanon, Ananya Panday, Bhumi Pednekar, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas were among the first to congratulate the new parents. Priyanka, who shares a close bond with her cousin Parineeti, reportedly plans to visit India soon to meet the newest member of the Chopra family.
A Journey From Fairytale Romance to Parenthood
Parineeti and Raghav’s love story has been one of the most charming unions between Bollywood and Indian politics. The actress and the AAP leader were first spotted together in early 2023, sparking relationship rumors that soon turned into engagement celebrations in May of that year. Their wedding in Udaipur was a private yet grand affair attended by close friends, family, and notable figures from both the entertainment and political worlds.
Since their marriage, the couple has often shared glimpses of their loving relationship, balancing Parineeti’s film career and Raghav’s political commitments with grace and humor.
Fans and Friends Pour In Warm Wishes
Social media has been buzzing ever since the announcement. The hashtag #BabyChadhaChopra quickly started trending on X (formerly Twitter), with fans calling the baby “Bollywood’s newest prince.”
Director Karan Johar commented, “So much love for you both! Welcome to parenthood — it’s the most magical journey.”
Meanwhile, actress Bhumi Pednekar shared on Instagram, “Congratulations my dearest Parineeti! You’re going to be the best mom ever.”
A New Chapter for Parineeti
While Parineeti had taken a short break from work in recent months, sources close to her have revealed that she plans to resume shooting in mid-2026. The actress was last seen in Chamkila alongside Diljit Dosanjh and received praise for her performance. Fans are already curious to see how she balances motherhood with her thriving career.
Raghav Chadha, on the other hand, expressed his joy in a heartfelt note shared by his party colleagues. “I’m overwhelmed. It’s a beautiful feeling — a mix of love, gratitude, and purpose,” he reportedly told a close aide.
What’s Next for the Couple?
The couple is currently spending time with family in Delhi, where both mother and baby are said to be doing well. Parineeti’s team has requested privacy during this special time, asking the media to respect their space while they enjoy their first days as parents.
Fans can’t wait to catch the first glimpse of the baby boy, and if Parineeti’s adorable social media posts are anything to go by, a cute family picture might just be around the corner.
As Bollywood celebrates this happy news, one thing is certain — Parineeti and Raghav’s story has come full circle, from a fairytale wedding to the joy of holding their little one. And the world couldn’t be happier for them.
Congratulations to the new parents, Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha, on their bundle of joy!
