Alongside her husband, politician Raghav Chadha, Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra recently appeared on Kapil Sharma’s show, The Great Indian Kapil Show. In addition to recalling Raghav’s response to it, Parineeti shared what she prepared for her pehli rasoi (first kitchen, a custom in Indian Hindu marriages) following her wedding.
What Parineeti prepared for her ‘pehli rasoi’
Parineeti revealed that she didn’t know that there was any ritual like pehli rasoi and added, “I didn’t even know how to make a toast. I had to Google how to make Halwa, and later I took help from my mother-in-law. Bhut tasty bana tha and I was excited to make it taste to Raghav. I thought it would be a romantic moment to serve Raghav this halwa in the evening. He came, had it, and I was waiting for feedback but didn’t get any.”
Raghav then revealed that he had actually figured out that his mother had made the halwa and had complimented her. He added, “Nakal main bhi akal chahiye, thoda sa toh badal dete flavour. Bilkul maa waala halwa (Even copying requires some brains — they could’ve at least changed the flavour a bit. This is exactly like the halwa my mum makes).” Parineeti then quipped, “I’ll not make halwa for you from now on.”
Raghav responded that he once returned home to see Parineeti Chopra and her mother rearranging the kitchen shelves to give them a more upscale appearance when Kapil asked if Parineeti helps with household tasks.
Parineeti disclosed that she had met Raghav in London at an occasion where the British Council was scheduled to present them with honors. During their interactions at the event, Raghav invited Parineeti to breakfast the following morning, and she casually requested him to meet anytime he was in Mumbai.
Their first breakfast date signaled the beginning of their romantic relationship. The two were married in a lavish yet private ceremony at the Leela Palace in Udaipur after becoming engaged on May 13, 2023, at the Kapurthala House in New Delhi. On social media, they are frequently spotted exchanging amorous photos.
