Bollywood actor Parineeti Chopra and politician Raghav Chadha are set to welcome their first child. The couple, who tied the knot in September 2023, announced their pregnancy in the sweetest way on social media. While fans are celebrating this big news, an old interview of Parineeti has resurfaced, where she revealed her wish to have “lots of children” and even considered adoption.
Parineeti and Raghav’s Pregnancy Announcement
On Monday, Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha shared a joint Instagram post confirming that they are expecting their first baby. The post included a white-and-gold cake with the words “1 + 1 = 3” along with tiny baby footprints. The caption read: “Our little universe… on its way. Blessed beyond measure.”
They also uploaded a short video of themselves walking hand-in-hand in a park, glowing with excitement. The announcement instantly went viral, with fans and fellow celebrities showering the couple with congratulatory messages.
From Engagement to Parenthood
The couple’s love story has been nothing short of a fairytale. Parineeti and Raghav got engaged in May 2023 at Kapurthala House, New Delhi. Just a few months later, they tied the knot at the majestic Leela Palace, Udaipur in September 2023.
Recently, Raghav appeared on The Great Indian Kapil Show where he hinted at starting a family soon. He said, “Denge, aapko denge… good news jaldi denge!” (We’ll give you good news soon). Now, the couple has delivered on that promise, making their fans overjoyed.
Parineeti Chopra on Motherhood and Adoption
Interestingly, Parineeti Chopra had spoken about her family dreams long before marriage. In a 2013 interview with Filmfare, she revealed her desire to raise a big family.
“I’d love to adopt a child. I want to have lots of children. I might not be able to conceive all of them, so I’ll adopt,” she had said.
Her openness about adoption and motherhood shows her nurturing side and forward-thinking approach. With her pregnancy news, fans are now looking back at this heartfelt statement, connecting it to her journey into parenthood.
Her Unique Take on Love and Romance
Apart from motherhood, Parineeti also gave fans a glimpse of her views on love. Unlike typical Bollywood-style romance, she preferred simple, genuine gestures.
“I don’t like clichéd romances. I don’t like the gifts and flowers nonsense. I hate when boys offer to take me out for dinner. I’ll slap them. I like it simple. You come to my house or I’ll come to your house, and we will sit, watch TV and order pizza,” she said.
This honest and refreshing outlook made her stand out from her contemporaries, showing that she values real connections over grand gestures.
Priyanka Chopra’s Reaction
Among the first to react to the news was Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Parineeti’s cousin, who expressed her happiness and excitement at becoming a “Mausi.” Fans loved the warm family bond and filled the comments section with love for the Chopra sisters.
Conclusion
As Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha prepare to welcome their first child, fans are reminded of her earlier wish to build a big, loving family. Her journey from openly talking about adoption to now experiencing motherhood reflects her long-held dreams coming true.
With blessings pouring in, the couple’s announcement has become one of the most celebrated moments in Bollywood this year.
