Coming to her personal front, Parineeti is married to the love of her life, Raghav Chadha, and ever since they tied the knot, their fans have been waiting for the couple to announce their 'good news'. Often, when Parineeti used to get papped donning loose fit or baggy clothes, it added more fuel to the netizens' curiosity regarding her pregnancy buzz. However, on March 28, 2024, Parineeti dropped a sassy post on her IG stories, wittily dismissing all speculations about the same.

“Kaftan dress=pregnancy, Oversized shirt=pregnancy, Comfy Indian kurta=pregnancy.”
