Parineeti and Raghav break their silence
Parineeti broke her silence on the trolling when she joined Rajat Sharma on an episode of Aap Ki Adalat. She made an appearance in the show with her husband Raghav Chadha.
It started with Raghav clarifying reports about booking expensive rooms at the venue, saying, “We got married at a 5-star hotel, not a 7-star one. There were 40-50 rooms, all booked for our guests, and none of the rooms cost ₹10 lakh, as alleged."
Parineeti joined the conversation pointing out the double standards she has faced since she made her relationship with Raghav official.
She said, “If I had married an actor, producer, or businessman, people would have said, 'Wow! This actress had such a grand wedding. That's how it should be.' But since I married a politician, the narrative suddenly became that he alone bore all the expenses and couldn’t afford such a lavish ceremony. This mindset of trolling and investigation is more prominent among voters and fans. In my world, people celebrate our happiness, but Raghav's world tends to be more critical."
The actor shared that her finances have come under the scanner since the wedding. She said that before the marriage, if she bought a house or car, it was understandable. “Suddenly, after the wedding, it’s like my money disappeared, and people assume I can’t spend anymore. It’s just perception," she said.
Parineeti reflected on the criticism, saying people forget that they are making comments on their personal lives, which hurt them too, asserting that “those from my world (films) were happy for us, those from Raghav's world (politics) criticised it”.
