New Delhi: Actor Parineeti Chopra and her husband, AAP leader Raghav Chadha, are set to appear on an upcoming episode of The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show. A leaked promo from the shoot has been making the rounds on social media, offering fans a humorous sneak peek into their banter-filled episode.
In the viral clip, Raghav is seen sitting barefoot on Kapil’s iconic couch, prompting the comedian to jokingly ask whether walking barefoot was something Raghav had “manifested” after marrying a Bollywood star.

Responding with a smile, Raghav revealed that his shoes had actually been stolen backstage. “I was sitting at the back, and someone just took off with my shoes,” he said. Enter comedians Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda, who theatrically return with his footwear and jokingly demand a “shagun” from their on-screen jiju. Raghav replies, “Neta ki jeb se paisa nikalwana chahte hai” (You’re trying to take money out of a politician’s pocket.)
Parineeti Recalls First Meeting in London
The promo also features a lighthearted moment between the couple as Parineeti recalls their first meeting in London. She shared that after meeting Raghav, curiosity led her to Google his height. Raghav then playfully added, “Whatever she says, the opposite happens. She once said she’d never marry a politician, and here we are. Now every morning, I wake her up and say, ‘You say Raghav Chadha will never ever become the Prime Minister of India.’”
