Mumbai: Not every viral moment starts with a movie trailer or political speech. Some begin with chai, a samosa, and a phone camera at an airport. That’s exactly how Raghav Chadha unexpectedly landed in social media spotlight, and this time, it had nothing to do with debates or Parliament arguments.
A casual Instagram Reel shot at an Indian airport has now crossed millions of views, pulling both politics and Bollywood into one frame. What followed was a sweet reaction from Parineeti Chopra, a witty reply from Raghav himself, and thousands of comments from people who felt this moment was oddly relatable. The story slowly grew from a fun Reel into a talking point many didn’t see coming.
The Airport Food Video That Started Everything
The viral moment came from Mumbai, where influencer Piyush Tripathi posted a Reel showing something most Indian travellers rarely see — cheap airport food. In the video, the couple happily shared that chai was priced at just ₹10 and samosas at ₹20, a big contrast to usual airport rates.
The influencer explained that these prices were possible because of affordable outlets like Udaan Yatri Cafe, which were introduced after concerns were raised about overpriced airport food. He credited AAP MP Raghav Chadha for pushing this issue at a national level. What made the video click instantly was its honesty. No filters, no heavy edits, just surprise and happiness that airport snacks didn’t burn a hole in the pocket this time.
“Kaisa Lagta Hai Raghav Chadha?” — The Comment That Went Viral
Midway through the Reel, Piyush casually turned to his partner and asked, “Kaisa lagta hai Raghav Chadha?”
Her response was quick, honest, and playful — “Handsome,” followed by laughter.
That one word changed the fate of the video. The comment section exploded, and the Reel quickly crossed 9 million views. Users started reacting not just to the affordable food, but also to Raghav Chadha’s personality and public image. Some praised his work, others joked about his charm, and many simply enjoyed the unexpected mix of policy talk and light humour.
Raghav Chadha’s Calm and Confident Reply
Instead of ignoring the viral attention, Raghav Chadha joined the conversation. He dropped a simple comment under the Reel saying he hoped the samosa was enjoyed. No politics, no speeches, just a friendly line.
This response added to the warmth of the moment. Many users appreciated that a politician acknowledged a viral moment without making it about himself. His reply felt relaxed and confident, which is why people continued engaging with the post even days later. In a space where politicians often appear distant, this small reply helped him come across as approachable and real.
Parineeti Chopra Reacts to ‘Handsome’ Comment on Raghav Chadha
The moment turned even sweeter when Parineeti Chopra reacted. After the influencer tagged her and jokingly asked her to acknowledge her husband’s “fan following,” Parineeti responded with a playful message using eye and laughing emojis, agreeing with the compliment.
Fans loved her response. It didn’t feel staged or calculated. It felt like a natural reaction from a partner enjoying a fun moment online. Social media users flooded the comments with praise, calling the exchange wholesome and refreshing. Many felt this was one of those rare internet moments that didn’t feel forced or dramatic.
Why This Moment Connected With So Many People
Beyond the humour, the story struck a chord because it tied back to a real issue. Raghav Chadha had earlier raised concerns about overpriced food at airports during discussions on the Indian Aviation Bill 2024, something many frequent travellers strongly relate to.
His push reportedly played a role in bringing affordable food counters like Udaan Yatri Cafe to airports. Seeing the result of that discussion reflected in real life, and then celebrated in a viral Reel, made the story feel complete. One popular comment summed it up perfectly: “Handsome by looks, outstanding by intellect.”

For those curious about the couple, Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha have often stayed away from public drama. Parineeti was last seen in Imtiaz Ali’s Amar Singh Chamkila alongside Diljit Dosanjh and is set to appear next in the web series Talaash: A Mother’s Search.
The couple got engaged in May 2023 in New Delhi and tied the knot later that year in Udaipur. In October 2025, they welcomed their son, Neer. Despite their public roles, moments like this show how they balance serious work with light-hearted fun, which many fans appreciate.
