Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha on Saturday got engaged in a glittering ceremony held in Kapurthala House, Delhi. The couple kept the engagement ceremony a low-key affair earlier in the evening, but as the sun went down, the paparazzi were treated to a rush of Bollywood and political celebrities.
The ceremony took place at the official residence of Punjab's Governor and Chief Minister whenever they're in Delhi, Kapurthala House, which was once the sprawling Delhi home of Kapurthala's Maharaja Paramjit Singh. It was a hot Saturday afternoon, and despite the heat, the venue was abuzz with activity.
Photographers and videographers were jostling for the best angles, while workmen were delivering last-minute arrangements. The evening's granthi, or Sikh priest, made an appearance, and Manish Malhotra, a favourite designer of Bollywood stars, darted in and out with Parineeti's dress for the occasion.
Priyanka Chopra, who had flown in from Mumbai that morning, arrived at the venue after her sister. Before her arrival, Raghav Chadha's seniors in the Rajya Sabha, Abhishek Manu Singhvi and Derek O'Brien, had already arrived with their wives and posed for photographers. They were followed by political bigwigs, including Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his wife Sunita Kejriwal, Aditya Thackeray of Shiv Sena, and former finance minister and Congress Rajya Sabha MP P. Chidambaram.
The engagement ceremony took place just as the Karnataka election results were being announced. While the changing political narrative was undoubtedly a topic of conversation among the guests, the evening was a well-deserved break for these politicians.
It was a glamorous event that was attended by both Bollywood and political stars. Despite the hot weather, the Kapurthala House was buzzing with activity as the paparazzi captured every moment of the ceremony.
With the engagement ceremony being kept low-key earlier in the evening, the sudden arrival of Priyanka Chopra and other political bigwigs made for an exciting evening. As they mingled and exchanged pleasantries, the changing political landscape was likely a topic of conversation, albeit in a more relaxed setting. Overall, it was a memorable event that brought together two worlds and celebrated the union of Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha.
