Bollywood-Political Power Couple Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha Announce Son’s Arrival on Choti Diwali: ‘Arms Full, Our Hearts Are Fuller’
Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra and her husband, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha, officially announced the joyful arrival of their first child today, a bouncing baby boy. The couple shared the heartwarming news through a joint social media post, confirming the birth just in time for the festive mood of Diwali.
The couple, who captivated the nation with their surprise romance and beautiful Udaipur wedding in 2023, now embrace the beginning of their new chapter as parents. This major life announcement immediately sent waves of congratulatory messages across both the film and political fraternities.
Parineeti and Raghav shared the news on their respective Instagram accounts with a heartfelt joint note, expressing their overflowing joy and love for their new arrival.
The post read, “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 post, which featured a simple yet powerful graphic, quickly garnered thousands of likes and comments from well-wishers. Industry peers, including actors Kriti Sanon, Ananya Panday, and Ayushmann Khurrana, immediately flooded the comments section with heart emojis and blessings for the new parents.
Earlier reports confirmed that Parineeti had been admitted to a hospital in Delhi, where the couple had relocated ahead of the delivery. Sources close to the family confirm that both the Chopra and Chadha families have rallied around the new parents, eagerly awaiting the baby’s arrival.
“The whole family is incredibly excited about the arrival of the baby. They are all by Parineeti’s side in Delhi,” an insider revealed. “This Diwali now feels extra special for them, as the little one brings even more joy and celebration to the festive season.”
The timing, on the auspicious occasion of Choti Diwali, only adds to the celebratory mood surrounding the high-profile couple.
Parineeti and Raghav have publicly shared glimpses of their journey to parenthood since their pregnancy announcement in August 2025. They initially confirmed the news with a sweet social media post featuring a cake that read “13$1 + 1 = 3$” and tiny baby footprints, coupled with a heartwarming video of them walking hand-in-hand.
The pregnancy news had been hinted at even earlier by Raghav Chadha during their appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, where the politician playfully promised comedian Kapil Sharma “good news soon.”
Their relationship, which began after a chance meeting in London, quickly blossomed into one of the most talked-about alliances between Bollywood and politics. They formalised their bond with a star-studded engagement in May 2023 at Kapurthala House, New Delhi, before tying the knot in a dreamy, intimate ceremony in Udaipur in September of the same year.
On the professional front, Parineeti recently earned high praise for her performance in the biopic Amar Singh Chamkila, before taking a break to focus on her pregnancy and impending delivery.
As Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha step into this new phase of their lives, their heartfelt announcement and the arrival of their baby boy mark a beautiful new beginning. Fans across the nation join their families in sending love and blessings to the newest member of the Chopra-Chadha household.
