Parineeti Chopra’s Karwa Chauth at 35,000 Feet
Parineeti Chopra observed Karwa Chauth mid-air, with Raghav Chadha helping her spot the moon and break her fast at 35,000 feet.
Parineeti Chopra made Karwa Chauth work around a flight schedule. The actor, who has been open about family and tradition, shared a short video on Instagram from a plane, showing how she observed the ritual with her husband and politician Raghav Chadha while travelling.
Moon sighting at cruising altitude
In the clip, the couple looked for the moon together. Once it was visible from the window, Raghav helped Parineeti complete the ritual by offering her water and food to break her day-long fast. She marked the moment in a traditional suit, with sindoor clearly part of her look.
“Karwa chauth is wherever we are,” Parineeti wrote, adding that this time the setting was 35,000 feet in the air. She also gave Raghav a warm tribute in the caption, saying he makes her dreams come true.
A family context that adds weight
This year’s celebration carries extra emotional value. Parineeti and Raghav got engaged in May 2023 and married at The Leela Palace in Udaipur in September 2023. Their son Neer arrived in October 2025, making this a festival season the couple is navigating as new parents.
- Parineeti observed the fast while travelling by air.
- Raghav helped with the moon sighting and the first water and food.
- The post highlighted her traditional suit and sindoor.
- Fans saw a parallel with Priyanka Chopra’s mid-air moon story.
Why the Priyanka connection clicked
The video immediately reminded followers of a story Priyanka Chopra told on The Kapil Sharma Show in 2025. She recalled that Nick Jonas once took her up in a plane above the clouds so she could see the moon and break her Karwa Chauth fast after the sky stayed cloudy. That earlier anecdote turned a weather problem into a grand romantic gesture, and Parineeti’s post has now revived the same idea: rituals can move with you.
Why it matters for fans
Celebrity Karwa Chauth posts are an annual conversation in Bollywood. They let stars share a tradition that many viewers personally observe, while also giving a glimpse into a marriage without crossing into private territory. Parineeti’s version works because it is recognisable — seeing the moon, breaking the fast — but set in an unlikely place.
It also continues a quiet thread of sky-high Karwa Chauth stories in the Chopra family, turning a ritual about waiting into a story about creative problem-solving. That is likely why the video travelled so quickly.
