Parineeti Chopra gets engaged to Raghav Chadha

The love story might have blossomed in the soil of London, but they are desi at hearts! Parineeti Chopra got engaged to her 'Ishaqzaade' Raghav Chadha in an intimate ceremony on Saturday. The ceremony was observed following Sikh rituals.

After months of speculations, the duo put an end to it as they exchanged rings in the presence of family, friends and distinguished guests at Kapurthala House, New Delhi.


The couple greeted the paps outside their house after the ceremony. The newly engaged duo were all smiles for the camera. The family members of the Chopra and Chadhas distributed sweets for the paps stationed outside the venue.

After the ceremony, the couple took to Instagram to share the pictures. Parineeti and Raghav twinned over a white dress. Parineeti's caption read, "Everything I prayed for... I said yes! Waaheguru ji meher karan..." while Raghav wrote in the caption, "Everything I prayed for .. She said yes! Waaheguruji meher karan..."

The couple exudes vibes as they lean on each other in most of the frames. In the first frame, Raghav is holding Parineeti by her waist, while Parineeti leans her head against Raghav's cheeks. In the second frame, the couple poses for a cosy frame. In the third frame, Raghav is looking at Parineeti, while the latter is looking at distance. The fourth frame shows the engagement rings from close-ups.

Ditching traditional colours such as Red and bright ones, Bollywood actors have embraced pastel shade colours for D-day in the last few years. Keeping the trend alive, Parineeti and Raghav also chose white-based shades for the day. Parineeti wore a full-sleeve turtle neck suit, designed by Manish Malhotra. She kept her hair loose and completed the look with heavy earrings and a mangtika and rings. The neckline of the suit is adorned with a string of pearls. Raghav wore an Achkan designed by Pawan Sachdev.

Manish Malhotra gave the details of her dress as "rose-pink kurta complemented with pearl-adorned flair trousers and ethereal signature Kashmiri threadwork dupatta with our exquisite uncut jewellery for an idyllic engagement ensemble."

Soon after posting the pictures, Parineeti's friends from the film fraternity wished her with messages. Ranveer Singh wrote, "Bless" with a couple of emojis. Anushka Sharma, Bhumi Pednekar, Neha Dhupia, and Kanika Kapoor wrote 'Congratulations' on her post. Manish Malhotra posted heart emojis on it.

Priyanka Chopra shared frames with family members. She posted a stylish photo with her brother Siddharth and also shared inside pictures from Raghav-Parineeti's engagement rituals.

The 'Desi girl' opted for a parrot-green-colored ruffled saree for the occasion. She added glamour matching it with an off-shoulder blouse. Priyanka opted for minimal jewellery and kept her tresses loose. The 'Citadel' actor greeted the paps with folded hands. Later she also posed with her brother Siddharth Chopra and Parineeti's father for the shutterbugs. She came to Delhi on Saturday morning.

Beyond the killer: 4 true crime stories that explore perpetrator's families

They don’t wear prison uniforms. They haven’t committed the crime. And yet, they live with the sentence. The whispers, the suspicion, the unbearable question: Did you know? Could you have stopped it?

For decades, true crime has obsessed over killers—their twisted minds, their methods, their victims. But now, a new wave of storytelling is forcing us to look beyond the perpetrators. What about the people they left behind? The mothers who raised them, the children who bear their names, the siblings who once shared bedtime secrets. Netflix’s Adolescence, Paramount+’s Happy Face, and a string of recent documentaries expose the unseen collateral damage of crime: the families of murderers who are left to pick up the pieces.
