Parineeti Chopra praises hubby Raghav Chadha's push for paternity leave: ‘Proud of you always’

Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha are among the most adored couples of B-town. The couple and new parents, who welcomed their baby boy Neer in October 2025, have been winning hearts with their social media posts and their efforts in highlighting social causes.

In her latest post, the new mom praised Raghav for raising the issue of paternity leave in Parliament. Calling caregiving a joint duty and urging its legalisation in India, the new dad won hearts when he said, "“A father should not have to choose between caring for his newborn and keeping his job. Similarly, a mother should not have to endure childbirth and recovery without her husband’s support."

Parineeti Chopra heartfelt note for Raghav Chadha

Taking to her Instagram handle, Praineeti praised Raghav and expressed pride in her note that read, "My dearest husband, watching you speak today not just as a Member of Parliament but as a new father to our baby, is a moment I will carry with me for a long time. Today you spoke as the dad, I see every single day."

She continued, "We have discussed this so many times! How our baby deserves both parents to be present – to the best of their ability. So when you spoke about paternity leave, it wasn’t just policy. It was built from the way you parent our child, the way you show up without being asked, the way you understand that PARENTING IS SHARED, not assigned. "Bacche ke paida hone par, keval ek maa ka janm nahi, ek pita ka bhi janm hota hai." There are so many mothers who carry this responsibility alone, often unheard, unseen. Homes where the fathers’ and family support are missing. Today, you brought their loneliness into the Parliament – a room where it truly matters."



Concluding the note, she wrote, "If this helps even a few parents, especially mothers feel more supported, it will be a win for us. Thankyou for being the dad – and the leader you are. I see it every day, now India will see it too. Proud of you always, my Ragaii."
