Mumbai, March 31: Raghav Chadha, a member of the Rajya Sabha from the Aam Aadmi Party, raised the issue of paternity leave in Parliament on Tuesday, advocating for its legal recognition. Following this, actress Parineeti Chopra took to Instagram to express her pride in her husband, a post that quickly went viral.
Parineeti shared a video on Instagram featuring Raghav discussing paternity leave in the Rajya Sabha. Alongside the video, she included a heartfelt caption.
She wrote, “Today is a very special day for me, as I saw you speak not just as a Member of Parliament, but as a responsible father. This moment will remain memorable for me. You voiced in Parliament what you practice every day at home as a father.”
Parineeti emphasized their discussions about the importance of equal parental involvement, stating, “When you talked about paternity leave, it was not just a policy; it was a matter close to your heart. You understand that parenting is a shared responsibility.”
In her post, she included an emotional line, saying, “The birth of a child does not only bring a mother into the world but also a father.”
She also highlighted the societal aspect where many women bear the responsibility of raising children alone. Parineeti noted, “Today, you have amplified the voices of many mothers who often handle everything alone and go unheard. If this initiative provides even a little support to some parents, especially mothers, it will be a significant victory for us. You are a great father and a true leader. I will always be proud of you.”
