Parineeti Chopra and her husband, politician Raghav Chadha, became parents to a baby boy this year. And now the couple have officially shared their baby’s nearly a month after welcoming him into the world. The couple, who became parents on October 20, 2025, had first announced his arrival on Instagram with the joyful note: “He’s finally here! Our baby boy. And we literally can’t remember life before.”Fans had been eagerly waiting for more details, and the couple finally fulfilled that anticipation today. Parineeti and Raghav posted a calming, tender photo of their newborn, revealing both his name and a poetic sentiment behind it. Their caption read: “𝙅𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙮𝙖 𝙧ū𝙥𝙖𝙢, 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙮𝙖 𝙨𝙫𝙖𝙧ū𝙥𝙖𝙢 — 𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙧𝙖 𝙚𝙫𝙖 𝙉𝙚𝙚𝙧. Our hearts found peace in an eternal drop of life. We named him Neer — pure, divine, limitless.”
Meaning of ‘Neer’
The name Neer primarily means “water” and is of Sanskrit and Hindi origin. It is associated with the five elements and the essence of life, symbolising purity and fluidity. A source confirmed to ETimes that the couple also chose the name Neer as a blend of their own names. “Nee comes from Parineeti, and R is the initial of Raghav,” the source explained. “Together, they form Neer.”
Parineeti and Raghav’s love story
Parineeti and Raghav, who got engaged in May 2023 at New Delhi’s Kapurthala House, were married later that year in a traditional ceremony at The Leela Palace, Udaipur, surrounded by loved ones. The actress had opened up on how she decided to marry Raghav, on Raj Shamani’s podcast. She had said, “We met at an event in London, and usually, I’d just say hi and move on, but this time, I said, ‘Let’s meet for breakfast’. Including our teams, it was around 8-10 of us, and we met at breakfast the next day. I had no idea who he was an what he did. I literally looked him up after the breakfast. I learned about all the work he’s done, and we realised, not even in weeks, in days, that we would get married.”
