Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha wedding: The celebrity couple is all set to tie the knot soon. Amid their wedding festivities, check out the timeline of their romance.
In case 2023 didn’t already seem like the year of celebrity weddings with Athiya Shetty-KL Rahul and Kiara Advani-Sidharth Malhotra tying the knot, another big celebrity wedding is happening! Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha are the internet’s latest obsession, and we bet everyone knows why. Parineeti and Raghav, who have become one of the most popular couples in recent times, got engaged in May 2023 after making headlines due to multiple public appearances. Their engagement pictures and videos broke the internet as no one saw this coming.
Netizens did not even know that they were dating each other until their public appearances. The two managed to keep their romance out of the public eye but we have some details on how it all began. While most would not know, the two have known each other for several years now, and it’s not as whirlwind as they made it out to be.
When they were first spotted at a restaurant in Mumbai, followed by another one from an airport, rumours about them dating each other began circulating online.
Amid their wedding festivities, here is a timeline of their romance:
From Studies To Romance
Several reports state that Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha have known each other for a long time. You ask, how long? Their friendship reportedly dates back to their time in London. Parineeti Chopra studied at the Manchester Business School and received a triple honours degree in business, finance and economics. On the other hand, Raghav Chadha completed his studies at the London School of Economics where he did an Executive MBA course. While Parineeti Chopra returned to India and joined YRF as a PR consultant, Raghav Chadha started a boutique wealth management firm in London.
P.S: It All Started With A Film
As per reports, Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha's love story began on the sets of the upcoming movie ‘Chamkila’ last year. While she was shooting in Punjab in 2022, Raghav Chadha visited her. It was after this meeting that the two started seeing each other. Helmed by Imtiaz Ali, ‘Chamkila’ is based on the lives of two popular Punjabi singers Amarjot Kaur and Amar Singh Chamkila. While Parineeti will be essaying the role of Amarjot, actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh will be seen as Chamkila.
Parineeti Chopra And Raghav Chadha’s First Appearance Together
The duo was spotted together for the first time at a restaurant in March 2023 in Mumbai. And of course, the shutterbugs were quick to click them.

The video of them together was shared by Zoom TV on Instagram and fans soon flooded the post’s comment section with comments like, “Are they dating?” and “I think these two are dating.”
Yet Another Date!
By this time, one question was on everyone’s mind -- What’s brewing between Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha? The Bollywood actress, who was last seen in Sooraj Barjatya’s ‘Uunchai’, was again spotted with Raghav Chadha. This happened the very next day after their dinner outing, making their relationship a topic of speculation and curiosity among their fans and the media. The two were spotted on a lunch outing together. For the lunch date, Parineeti Chopra wore a black t-shirt and pants with a pair of dark sunglasses. Raghav Chadha, on the other hand, sported a beige shirt and black pants.
And The Teasing Began
