Bollywood star Parineeti Chopra, well-known for her dynamic performances on the Indian silver screen, recently shed light on the personal dynamics shared with her husband, Raghav Chadha. The acclaimed actress married Chadha, a prominent political figure, on September 24, 2023 and has since discovered the quirks of their unique relationship.
Parineeti has been praised for her role in director Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’. Despite her flourishing career in the entertainment industry, her interests have historically been far from the world of politics. However, her marriage to Chadha has shaped her interests in unforeseen ways.
In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Parineeti candidly spoke about their life together, revealing an amusing disparity: her newfound habit of tracking political affairs and Chadha’s comparative lack of engagement with the film industry. “Ab toh karna padta hai (I’ve got to follow politics now),” she exclaimed, demonstrating how her life has been influenced by her husband’s career. “But my complaint is that he doesn’t follow entertainment. God only knows (what he watched on screen last). And only he knows.”
The actress humorously shared how she must prompt her husband to recognize elements from the entertainment world, noting that he’s scarcely familiar with films and only slightly more acquainted with music. Even identifying one of her film songs poses a challenge for him, thus requiring her to nudge him along. This dichotomy, however, seems to serve their relationship positively. “Our conversations are about life. That’s perfect for me,” she mentioned, praising the balance they maintain in their discussions beyond their professional realms.
Initially, Parineeti admitted to having not recognized Chadha’s significant role in the political scene and his status as a youthful and influential Member of Parliament. The people around her were more in tune with his stature than she was. Today, she regards her husband as one of the most impressive people, achieving an envious level of success at the age of 35. “You’re just a baby! How’s this happening?” she pondered with affection and respect.
Being married to someone outside her industry has grounded her, Parineeti expressed. Her desire for normalcy has been realized in her marriage to Chadha, whom she describes as a wonderful man who has added a stable, ordinary quality to her life.
Professionally, Parineeti’s dedication remains unwavering. Her latest project, ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’, marks Imtiaz Ali’s digital debut. In preparation for her part as Amarjot, Chamkila’s partner and wife, she underwent a significant physical transformation, gaining 10 to 15 kilograms to fit the role authentically.
The couple’s relationship paints an intriguing tapestry of career and personal life, blending Bollywood’s glitz with the sober reality of political affairs. It’s this intersection of distinctly different worlds that shines a light on the way opposites not only attract but thrive together. Parineeti’s insights into their lives illustrate a harmonious blend of career ambition and personal contentment, undeterred by the inherent differences in their professional pursuits. These revelations about their relationship offer fans a glimpse into how the well-loved actress and the dynamic politician navigate life together, cherishing their shared moments while respecting each other’s individual passions and commitments.
