Parineeti Chopra has revealed that Imtiaz Ali’s 2024 biographical drama Amar Singh Chamkila inadvertently played matchmaker in her real-life romance with AAP MP Raghav Chadha. The actress, who recently welcomed her first child with the politician, shared the charming backstory in a new vlog, explaining how the film’s Punjab shoot brought the couple together.
While filming in Punjab in early 2023, director Imtiaz Ali needed clearances and logistical support from local authorities. Raghav Chadha, then the sitting MP from the region, was approached for assistance. “Back then, we didn’t even know each other,” Parineeti recalled. Their first meeting on the sets of Chamkila sparked a connection that quickly blossomed into a relationship.
The couple, who married in an intimate ceremony at The Leela Palace in Udaipur on September 24, 2023, still credit the film for their love story. “Even today, we say that somewhere it’s because of Chamkila that Raghav and I got together,” Parineeti said with a smile, adding that the movie holds a special place in their hearts beyond its critical and commercial success.

In the same vlog, Parineeti also opened up about the unique challenges of portraying Amarjot Kaur opposite Diljit Dosanjh’s Amar Singh Chamkila. The duo sang all songs live on set without any lip-sync or post-production dubbing—an industry first that added raw authenticity to their performances. She shared hilarious behind-the-scenes moments, including Diljit jokingly telling her to “become Rihanna” during a scene, only for the entire crew to burst into laughter at her failed attempt.
Released on Netflix in April 2024, Amar Singh Chamkila received widespread acclaim for its gritty portrayal of the slain Punjabi singer’s rise and tragic assassination. For Parineeti and Raghav, however, the film remains more than just a career milestone—it is the quiet cupid that changed their lives forever.
