In a move that has captured the attention of both political analysts and Bollywood fans, global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas has publicly come out in support of her brother-in-law, Raghav Chadha. The gesture follows the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) surprising decision to replace Chadha as its Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha.
The Digital Show of Support
On Saturday, Raghav Chadha took to Instagram to share a defiant message with his followers. He posted a montage of his most significant speeches in Parliament, covering issues ranging from unemployment and high airfares to the demand for a Bharat Ratna for Bhagat Singh. He captioned the video with a simple Indian flag and the powerful words: “Silenced, not defeated.”
Priyanka Chopra, who is currently based in the United States, was among the first to react. She flooded the comments section with applause and heart emoticons, signaling her unwavering support for the embattled politician. Her public “rooting” for Chadha comes at a time when the MP is facing what many are calling a political demotion within his own party.
A Family United
Priyanka isn’t the only one standing by him. Her cousin, actor Parineeti Chopra, who married Raghav in a high-profile ceremony in Udaipur in 2023, also re-shared the video on her social media stories.
“My husband has always spoken for the people. This doesn’t change that,” a source close to the family noted, echoing the sentiment that while his official title may have changed, his commitment to public service remains the focus.
The Political Context
The AAP leadership recently informed the Rajya Sabha Secretariat that Ashok Mittal, a fellow MP and founder of Lovely Professional University, would replace Chadha as the party’s Deputy Leader in the Upper House. This shift followed months of speculation regarding a growing rift between Chadha and the party’s core leadership.
Reports suggest that the party was concerned with Chadha’s perceived “soft PR” and his recent absence from several key party protests. However, Chadha’s supporters argue that his focus remained on legislative duties and raising the concerns of the “Aam Aadmi” (common man).
Public Reaction
The “Chopra-Chadha” family front has sparked a massive conversation online.
Supporters of Raghav have hailed the family’s unity, calling the move a “graceful response to political bullying.”
Critics, however, view the celebrity support as a distraction from the internal party dynamics that led to the decision.
As the dust settles on this political reshuffle, one thing is clear: while Raghav Chadha’s wings may have been clipped within the party structure, he still has the full backing of one of the most influential families in the global entertainment industry.
