Demonstrating that distance and travel schedules are no barrier to traditional celebrations, actor Parineeti Chopra celebrated Karwa Chauth on Thursday in a unique fashion—breaking her fast mid-air alongside her husband, AAP leader Raghav Chadha.
Taking to Instagram on October 30, 2026, the actor shared a heartwarming video documenting the couple’s celebration inside an aircraft cabin as they spotted the moon from their window seats.
Mid-Air Rituals at 35,000 Feet
In the shared video, Parineeti, dressed in a traditional festive suit with sindoor, broke her Nirjala Vrat as Raghav Chadha offered her water and food mid-flight.
Penning an affectionate note for her husband, Parineeti captioned the post:
“Karwa chauth is wherever we are. Even if its at 35000 feet! 🤗🥰 You make all my dreams come true Ragaji. The best man, the best human, the best boii.”
The couple, who got engaged in May 2023 and married at The Leela Palace in Udaipur in September 2023, welcomed their first child, a baby boy, on October 19, 2025.
Echoes of Priyanka Chopra’s Airborne Fast Break
Parineeti’s mid-air celebration sparked comparisons among fans to an anecdote shared by her cousin, international star Priyanka Chopra.
During an interview on The Kapil Sharma Show in 2025, Priyanka revealed that her husband, American singer Nick Jonas, had similarly arranged a flight above overcast skies so she could view the moon and break her Karwa Chauth fast when weather obstructed visibility on the ground.
