Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chadha and actor Parineeti Chopra have made headlines over the past few weeks because the duo has often been seen together, sparking speculation of a possible romantic relationship. On Tuesday the politician - speaking to NDTV after the AAP was recognised by the Election Commission as a 'national' party - playfully dodged a direct question on the topic. "Aapko batayenge (… will tell you)," he said with a laugh.
Chadha also heaped praise on party boss Arvind Kejriwal, and said, "When Arvind Kejriwal launched the party, we all joined, giving up our jobs. Today this kaafila (caravan) has gone so far - who thought we would achieve this after 10 years? AAP has two states, more than 10 MPs, dozens of MLAs…"
“We are confident the day is not far when Kejriwal will rule the country."
Later in the interview, when Raghav Chadha was asked to switch focus from 'rajneeti' (politics) to Parineeti, the AAP MP laughed, and said: “I will tell you. We will have a separate interview on that.”
