In a delightful turn of events, expecting mother Parineeti Chopra recently hosted a playful “fake talk show” featuring her husband, Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha. What began as a lighthearted online segment quickly evolved into a heartwarming display of their affectionate bond, complete with teasing, laughter, and genuine moments of connection.
Parineeti’s Cheeky Questions
Parineeti, introducing Raghav as her “amazing husband and Rajya Sabha member,” initiated the fun with a series of witty questions. She playfully complimented his impressive Hindi vocabulary, joking that even she and her mother needed a dictionary sometimes. She then playfully challenged him about making tea for her, to which Raghav responded by listing various teas and mentioning his nightly ritual of making her turmeric milk, noting its benefits for pregnant women. Parineeti’s teasing question about where the turmeric is kept in their house was met with Raghav’s humorous reply, “Enjoy the mangoes, don’t count the seeds.” Their banter continued with Parineeti’s playful remark that she’d drink tea if he made it, highlighting their comfortable dynamic.
Career Aspirations and “Winning Her Heart”
A memorable moment from the segment was when Parineeti brought up Raghav’s statement, “Elections happen every 5 years, but one has to win a wife’s heart every hour.” Raghav elaborated with a smile, emphasizing his daily commitment to making her happy. Parineeti jokingly suggested he should pursue acting, but Raghav remained grounded, mentioning his finance background as a chartered accountant. While Parineeti humorously suggested law, Raghav modestly described his skills as “decent.”
Responding to a question about winning her heart hourly, Raghav reiterated his duty to keep his wife happy. When Parineeti teased him about his portrayal as the “good boy” and her as the “annoying wife” after his appearance on “The Great Indian Kapil Show,” Raghav simply smiled, acknowledging their playful relationship.
In a spontaneous turn, Parineeti revealed she’d asked ChatGPT for questions, including “Who said ‘I love you’ first?” Raghav diplomatically replied, “Both of us.” Parineeti shared a touching anecdote about visiting a gurdwara and receiving prasad twice after deciding to commit to their relationship, feeling it was a sign from the universe. She even sent a photo of the moment to Raghav, who remembered she was shooting in Talwandi, Punjab, at the time.
Work-Life Balance and Pet Names
The couple also touched upon work-life balance. Raghav admitted that before marriage, his life was primarily focused on work, but now, he has found a better balance. Parineeti affectionately expressed her desire for more time with him, suggesting he work only five minutes a day, to which Raghav humorously agreed to reduce his work to “2.5 or 3 minutes.” Fans also discovered that Parineeti calls him “Raga,” a nickname originating from a family member’s inability to pronounce his name. She clarified that she uses his full name, Raghav, only when she’s upset.
Love, Patience, and Romance
When asked what she learned about love after marriage, Parineeti’s heartfelt response was that she learned love from Raghav. She described him as calm and simple, admitting her own lack of patience and how he has made her a better person. She emphasized that “Love is about patience.” Both playfully vied for the title of being more romantic, with Parineeti describing Raghav’s affection as “aggressive caretaking.” They both agreed that Parineeti was the funnier one, with her proudly stating, “I live to make people laugh.”
The couple, married in September 2023 in Udaipur, is now eagerly anticipating their first child.
