Raghav Chadha and Parineeti Chopra during Ganga aarti in Varanasi.
Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha has marked his 36th birthday in the spiritual and cultural heart of India, Varanasi. Accompanied by his wife and Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra, the senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader took part in the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat.
Members of the Ganga Seva Nidhi, including President Sushant Mishra and other officials, welcomed them by presenting them with traditional angavastra (stole), prasadam (religious offering), and a memento.
Ms Chopra also wished Mr Chadha in an adorable post on Instagram.
"Happiest bday my Ragaii. Your grace, honesty, patience and maturity make me wanna be a better person every day. You graciously lead me and teach me how to be strong, the value of emotional stability and the true meaning of respect and love. I promise to never stop learning from you. Everyone around me says it because it's true, "They don't make gentlemen like you anymore". I'm glad God gave me the best one of them all. (Also in the middle of all this classiness, how are you actually the biggest jokester and goofball of all?? #ChupaRustam) P.S. He's gonna find this reel tooooooo filmy guys. Send help," she said in the post.
