Parineeti Chopra says she had ‘no idea’ who Raghav Chadha was when they first met, shares her biggest complaint about him: ‘He knows nothing about films’

“So, I have to continuously nudge him, ‘Just pretend like you know’ (laughs). So it’s sweet. But the best thing is that I actually don’t know anything about politics, he doesn’t know anything about entertainment, so our conversations are about life. That’s perfect for me.”

The actor revealed the first time she met Raghav, she had “no idea of who he was, what he was.” Parineeti said that those who follow politics often exclaimed that she was getting married to Raghav, but she would reply, “Yeah, what’s the story here?”

“But now that I know him and his work, who he is and what he does, he’s one of the most impressive people. To be the youngest Member of Parliament. At 35, be part of this party and do the work he’s doing. I feel like, ‘How do you do it? You’re just a baby! How’s this happening?’

“So it’s nice to be married to someone who’s not from the industry. I’m too much of a Sufi soul. I have a life outside of the film industry. So if my husband had also been from this industry, I’d have gone mad. He’s made my life even more normal. I always want normalcy, and he’s made my life even more normal. So I’m married to the most wonderful man,” Parineeti added.

The actor is currently elated with the appreciation coming her way for her performance in Imtiaz Ali’s Amar Singh Chamkila. In the Netflix film, Parineeti is seen as Amarjot, singer wife of the titular musician portrayed by Diljit Dosanjh. The couple was shot dead in 1988.
