'Raghav Chaddha should be in...', Parineeti Chopra reveals shocking details about her husband, wants him to do....
Speaking at the screening, Parineeti quipped about how people often tell her Raghav Chadha belongs on the big screen, 'He looks really good, everyone jokes with me and says, 'Listen, he should be in films'… we always smile at that.'
However, she made it clear where his heart lies, 'He's very patriotic and wants to serve the nation. He always says, 'You do your work, I'll do mine'… It's very clear.' The couple that curates together
Despite being married to an actor, Raghav isn't glued to screens—unless it's a news channel. 'Raghav always wins because we watch the news every day—and now I can't even sleep without it!' Parineeti laughed.
She revealed that their watchlists are short, selective, and driven by solid recommendations. 'He always says, 'I don't have much time, so you need to suggest something good.' And honestly, I'm the same. I don't watch too much… I ask people, 'Tell me one good film and I'll watch only that.''
This mutual minimalism makes them the kind of viewers streaming platforms dream of—focused, picky, and loyal once hooked.
As Heads of State dropped globally on July 2 via Prime Video, Parineeti stood in proud support of cousin Priyanka, while keeping it real about her own quieter cinematic lane and equally impactful off-screen life.
While Bollywood sometimes blurs the lines between personal and public, Parineeti and Raghav seem to have theirs drawn—with admiration, independence, and a lot of news at bedtime.

Review: ‘Uppu Kappurambu' finds the comedy in death and burial
In Chitti Jayapuram in Andhra Pradesh, the deceased are not cremated but buried in a designated corner of the village. The cause of death is carved on the tombstone. The practice stems from a centuries-old prophecy linking burial with protection against famine. Everything is going just fine until the gravedigger Chinni realises that the cemetery is running out of space. It's only the latest headache for newly chosen village leader Apoorva (Keerthy Suresh), who is struggling to establish her authority in the teeth of strident opposition from self-declared stud Madhu (Shatru) and aspiring headman Bheemayya (Babu Mohan). Apoorva rallies around, coming up with a sensible solution: why not cremate rather than bury? Her suggestion has a violent effect on listeners – one faints right away. She organises a lottery for the soon-to-be-dead, which is energetically compered by an entertainer dressed in shocking pink (Vishnu OI). Chinni (Suhas) hopes that his mother Kondamma (Rameswari Talluri) will be on the list. In Uppu Kappurambu (Salt and Camphor), death, disposal and tradition are taken very seriously, leading to hectic, often laugh-out-loud comedy. Ani IV Sasi's Telugu film has been premiered on Prime Video. Vasanth Maringanti's screenplay is knowingly hysterical and hyperbolic. The film's cartoonish, slapstick tone takes some getting used to, what with everybody in the village – leader or follower, notable or nobody – exhibiting capitalised eccentricity. Once the plot deepens, Sasi and Maringanti deliver an entertaining satire whose loud humour conceals more subtle ideas about ossified traditions, caste-based hierarchy and equality. Chinni's lowly status, the condescending attitude towards Apoorva on account of her gender, the insistence on following outdated beliefs, the petty politicking – Uppu Kappurambu smuggles in progressive messaging through manic activity centered on the graveyard. Apoorva and Chinni finds themselves isolated in a village where change is greeted with shock and unity proves to be fragile. The entire cast is in tune with the raucousness. While the main action revolves around the characters played by Keerthy Suresh, Suhas, Rameswari Talluri, Babu Mohan and Shatru, a minor army of supporting actors gamely portray Chitti Jayapuram's crackpot residents. Although carrying on for far too long, the 135-minute Uppu Kappurambu mines ample humour out of the sadness usually associated with death. Perhaps nobody has planned so much ahead of time or participated in the selection of a final resting spot so enthusiastically. Play

Uppu Kappurambu review: Keerthy Suresh, Suhas's quirky comedy works despite flaws
Prime Video's latest offering, 'Uppu Kappurambu', revolves around an interesting premise, albeit set in a fictional village. A quirky comedy, the Ani IV Sasi-directed film is a clever social commentary on dignity in death and how people are now easily divided over communal differences. Has 'Uppu Kappurambu' hit the right notes? Let's find out!Chitti Jaya Puram, a fictional village, is full of zany characters who follow age-old practices that reek of ignorance, patriarchy and what not. Apoorva (Keerthy Suresh) becomes the village head following the death of her father, who died on duty. But, Apoorva's father fully prepares her to take on duties and calls it the easiest job day, the village's graveyard caretaker, Chinna, approaches Apoorva with a real problem. The graveyard is now short of space, and she is stuck figuring out a solution. Meanwhile, there are influential people in the village, Bheemayya (Babu Mohan) and Madhubabu (Shatru), who want to bring down Apoorva because they do not want to be under a woman's leadership. How does Apoorva deal with these patriarchs amid a brewing cultural problem that forms the crux of the story? Director Ani IV Sasi's 'Uppu Kappurambu' is a sweet film that is also quite clever in its social commentary. The film highlights many socio-political issues, including misogyny, communal divide, dynasty politics and patriarchy, among others. Like the Telugu film, 'Prince', 'Uppu Kappurambu' is set in a fictional village. All the characters in the village are eccentric and rely on shallow situations to tackle. The initial minutes of the film are a stretch because of Keerthy Suresh's exaggerated expressions. In a quirky comedy, one is expected to overdo expressions. But, Keerthy oversells Apoorva to the extent that you become averse to the film. It is only after Apoorva eases into her village head job that the actor mellows down. That's when the film also picks up momentum and cruises fighting for burial space might sound like too trivial a problem. But, it is a valid concern and Apoorva takes Chinna's help to come up with solutions. Every time they come close to a solution, they face another bizarre conflict. The idiosyncrasies of people might come across as a huge surprise. But, it's not just a problem that Chitti Jaya Puram has to go through. It could happen to any of us living in the city and that's when 'Uppu Kappurambu' hits Chinna is the backbone of 'Uppu Kappurambu'. The way his character propels the story forward works majorly for the film. Keerthy Suresh, as Apoorva, may initially test your patience, but you'll eventually warm up to her character. The film ends on a positive note, a message that is much-needed in today's society. Even if you don't prefer taking away a message, 'Uppu Kappurambu' still has a lot to offer.- Ends3 out of 5 stars for 'Uppu Kappurambu'.
