Wedding bells are about to ring for Parineeti Chopra and her fiance Raghav Chadha. According to the invitation that went viral on social media recently, the pre-wedding festivities will begin in Udaipur on September 23. Reportedly, they'll tie the knot in a grand traditional ceremony on September 24. As the celebrations are soon to begin, did you know Parineeti and Raghav met while they were studying in London?
As per reports, Parineeti and Raghav became friends when they were in London for higher education. The actress holds a triple Honours degree in business, finance, and economics from the Manchester Business School whereas the politician studied at the London School of Economics (LSE). They met in London and their friendship strengthened over the years.
Parineeti kept her relationship with Raghav under tight wraps until they were seen making regular visits to eateries in Mumbai. Rumours of their relationship sparked off only a few months before their close-knit engagement. As per a Women's Era report, Parineeti and Raghav took their friendship to the next level when she was shooting for Chamkila in Punjab last year. Reportedly, the Aam Aadmi Party MLA would often visit the actress on the set of the Imtiaz Ali-directed Netflix film.
Parineeti was first spotted with Raghav outside a restaurant in Mumbai. In March this year, the politician dismissed rumours of a relationship with her. Their frequent outings and dates added fuel to the rumour. While they were in denial, Sanjeev Arora, a politician from Aam Aadmi Party and a Rajya Sabha member, indirectly confirmed the news of their engagement. He tweeted, "I extend my heartfelt congratulations to @raghav_chadha and @ParineetiChopra. May their union be blessed with an abundance of love, joy, and companionship. My best wishes!!!"
