Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) member Raghav Chadha was instrumental in the Centre’s initiative to launch the affordable eating joint Udaan Yatri Cafe at airports. When an Instagram influencer couple lauded the politician for it, with one of them calling him ‘handsome’, his wife, actor Parineeti Chopra, responded.

An influencer named Piyush Tripathi took to Instagram to post a Reel of him and his partner getting samosas at the airport. They seem pleased that chai cost them 10 and samosa cost them 20, despite airport food always being known for being pricy. “Expectation: Airport = mehenga (costly) Reality: 20 samosa + 10 chai. Fact check passed,” he wrote, sharing the video.

In the video, the influencer also commented that these prices were only possible thanks to Raghav. When he asks his partner, “Kaisa lagta hai Raghav Chadha? (What do you think of Raghav Chadha?)” she replies, “Handsome,” and laughs. Parineeti and Raghav both commented on the post, which has racked up over 9 million views.

Raghav commented, “Haha, hope you enjoyed the samosa!” After the influencer asked Parineeti to also comment, writing, “@parineetichopra ma'am aap bhi acknowledge kar do ab to, sir ka jabardast fan following ho rakkha hai idhar (Parineeti ma’am hope you acknowledge this too, sir has a huge fan following here),” she responded, “(eyes emoji) I totally agree (nervous laugh emojis),” seemingly responding to Raghav being called handsome.
