New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party’s high-profile Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha is all set to get engaged to actress Parineeti Chopra on Saturday, May 13 wearing an ivory achkan and trousers designed by his maternal uncle Pawan Sachdev.
Parineeti will be seen in a Manish Malhotra dress for the ceremony, which will be attended by close friends and relatives of the couple, including Priyanka Chopra Jonas, at the sprawling Kapurthala House on Mansingh Road, across the road from the Taj Mahal Hotel, in Lutyens’ Delhi.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who is Parineeti’s sister, will land in the national capital on May 13.
The engagement ceremony will begin at 5 pm with the chanting of Sukhmani Sahib from Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of the Sikhs, followed by ‘ardas’ or holy prayers. It is also expected to be attended by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, his Punjab counterpart, Bhagwant Mann and Bollywood celebrities.
Kapurthala House is now the official residence of the Governor and Chief Minister of Punjab, whenever they are in the city. It was last captured by Maharaja Paramjit Singh of Kapurthala, who sold it to a businessman named Radheshyam Makhanlal Seksaria in 1950, but was later requisitioned by the Government of India.
Ahead of her engagement, Parineeti’s apartment in Mumbai’s Bandra area is lit up with fairy lights. A video shared by celebrity photographer Viral Bhayani shows Parineeti’s apartment in Bandra Highrise being lit up for the special occasion.
Raghav and Parineeti’s dating rumors gained momentum last month when the two were spotted together in London and then in Mumbai. The two have been seen together many times – at the Mumbai airport or coming out of restaurants.
On the work front, meanwhile, Parineeti will be seen sharing screen space with Diljit Dosanjh in Imtiaz Ali’s Chamkila. The film is said to be inspired by popular Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila, who was murdered in the 1980s.
