Raghav Chadha and Parineeti Chopra entertained the audience with their candid and funny performance on The Great Indian Kapil Show in July 2025. However, one moment from the comedy show humorously explored Chadha’s political ambitions.
The couple entered the stage hand in hand. But it was Raghav’s bare feet that caught host Kapil Sharma’s attention. Responding to the joke, Raghav revealed that his shoes were stolen.
The moment got funnier when Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda appeared holding the shoes. They jokingly demanded money like the bride’s brothers.

During the episode, Parineeti shared that she first met Raghav in London. She even looked up his height after their date. Raghav added a humorous twist. According to him, whatever Parineeti says often backfires. He referred to her earlier statement that she would never marry a politician.
“Every morning I wake her up and ask her to say that I will never become the Prime Minister of India. So I will become the Prime Minister one day,” joked Raghav Chadha.
Raghav Chadha has a rift with AAP
The light-hearted moment is again relevant amid the ongoing public rift between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its Rajya Sabha MP Chadha. The AAP had earlier removed him from the post of deputy leader in the upper house. He was replaced by Ashok Mittal.
AAP leaders, including Saurabh Bharadwaj and Anurag Dhanda, accused Chadha of raising “soft” issues in Parliament instead of targeting the BJP on key national issues. He was also criticized for allegedly skipping opposition outings and not signing the impeachment motion against the Chief Election Commissioner.
The party further questioned his absence during Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest in 2024. Chadha was reportedly abroad for medical treatment at the time.

In response, Raghav Chadha defended himself through videos. He claimed he was being “silenced” for raising real public issues.
Chadha denied skipping parliamentary events. According to him, concerns such as the water crisis, pollution and the rights of gig workers are important.
The row has now turned into a public war of words, with the party trying to curtail his speaking role in Parliament.
Raghav Chadha to join BJP?
There is strong speculation that Raghav Chadha may quit AAP. There are stronger speculations that he might join the BJP.

One user commented, “All the rumors about him leaving AAP were true. I won’t be surprised if he is inducted into BJP. Both Punjab and general elections are on target. It could be a personal milestone for Raghav Chadha. A ticket to elections or it could be a ministry!”
“(Raghav Chadha) fled to London when AAP needed him the most, stayed there when the top leadership was in jail, did not raise any issue relevant to AAP when asked and focused only on personal PR. Raghav Chadha is most likely to join BJP before Punjab elections,” added another.
