Actor Parineeti Chopra posted a series of pictures from her engagement and a long note for her fiancé and AAP MP Raghav Chadha on Monday. Parineeti and Raghav Chadha got engaged on May 13 in an intimate ceremony in Delhi.
She posted many unseen pictures from her engagement and wrote, “When you know, you know.”
“One breakfast together and I knew - I had met the one. The most wonderful man whose quiet strength would be calming, peaceful and inspiring. His support, humour, wit and friendship are pure joy. He is my home. Our engagement party was like living a dream - a dream unfurling beautifully amidst love, laughter, emotion and loads of dancing! As we hugged those we loved dearest and celebrated with them, emotions overflowed. As a little girl in awe of princess stories, I had imagined how my fairytale would begin. Now that it has, it is even better than I had imagined. 💕”
The pictures show the couple having a great time at their engagement. One of the pics shows the actor getting emotional and crying while Raghav wiping her tears. In another picture both of them can be seen hugging each other. Priyanka Chopra is also seen in one of the pictures applying tilak to Raghav on his forehead.
Parineeti and Raghav's engagement was an intimate ceremony held at the Kapurthala House. While Parineeti wore a custom-made ivory blush pearl ensemble by Manish Malhotra, Raghav wore achkan designed by fashion designer Pawan Sachdeva.
Many videos and photos of the ceremony are doing the rounds on the internet. The video that recently surfaced online shows Parineeti speaking to the guests and asking her family – the ‘Chopras’ and Raghav’s family – the ‘Chadhas’ if they are happy with their union.
In the video, Parineeti and Raghav are on the stage, Parineeti says in Hindi, “Ye log merko kabse bol rahe hain, ‘ek ladka dhund le yaar’. Hun theek hai? (These people, for the longest time, have been telling me to find a guy for myself. Now is it fine?”
As we hear a loud cheer, Parineeti tells Raghav, “You are approved, those are all the Chopras.” The actor then asks Raghav’s side of the family if they approve of her. Se asks, “Now Chadhas, do you approve?” Her question is followed by a louder cheer and Raghav then tells her, “Chadhas are louder.”
Parineeti then asks her family to be louder, “Hey Chopras yaar…”
The engagement was attended by Priyanka Chopra, who flew down for a day to attend the engagement, Manish Malhotra and politicians including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, former finance minister P Chidambaram and Shiv Sena leader Aditya Thackeray.
