Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha celebrated his 38th birthday on Wednesday, 12 November 2025, by visiting a gurudwara to offer prayers and perform selfless service, seeking Waheguru Ji's blessings and expressing heartfelt gratitude for the life he has been given.
Prayers and Obeisance
During his visit, Chadha paid obeisance before Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, received a siropa from the gurudwara, and offered prayers at the Nishan Sahib. Sharing moments from the occasion on Instagram, he reflected on the experience with deep reverence.
'Sewa at the Guru's house brings a peace that nothing else can. When I serve the sangat with my own hands, I feel closest to the divine. The only feeling in my heart at the Guru's house was shukrana (gratitude),' he said, adding that through Waheguru Ji's mehar (grace), he considers everything he has received in life as the Almighty's bakhshish (blessing).
Sewa Activities at the Gurudwara
Embodying the spirit of selfless service, Chadha participated in a range of sewa activities during his visit. He served langar to devotees and joined women sewadars in the langar kitchen to help prepare rotis. He also performed sewa at the jootha ghar, assisting elderly volunteers in looking after devotees' footwear.
Chadha also spent time interacting with members of the sangat, including families and children who had gathered at the gurudwara on the occasion.
Birthday Wishes from Wife Parineeti Chopra
Ahead of his gurudwara visit, actress and Parineeti Chopra — Chadha's wife — penned a warm birthday message for her husband on social media, describing him as the most inspiring man she knows and 'the best father there can be.'
Sharing a glimpse of their date night, Chopra wrote: 'They say marry your best friend. I say, it's a blessing if you can. Who else would I play these games with, on date nights? Happpy happpy happppy b'day my Ragaii. I love you so so much. The most inspiring man I know. The best father there can be. They just don't make them like you anymore. @raghavchadha88.'
Closing Prayer and Message
Chadha concluded his gurudwara visit with a prayer for Waheguru Ji's continued blessings upon everyone, wishing all 'Chardi Kala' — a Sikh concept embodying eternal optimism, strength, and positivity. The birthday celebration, centred on service and prayer rather than fanfare, drew warm responses from his followers and the sangat alike.
Point of View
Particularly the reference to him being 'the best father,' adds a personal dimension that is new in the couple's public narrative. For a politician still defining his post-AAP identity within the BJP, these personal optics carry quiet strategic weight, even if the occasion itself is routine.
