Udaipur, India – June 2025
A hush of sacred mantras, a sparkle of royal chandeliers, and a name whispered into eternity — Bollywood’s beloved diva Parineeti Chopra and rising political star Raghav Chadha just held one of the most extravagant and emotional naamkaran puja ceremonies India has ever seen. And yes — their baby’s name is finally revealed!

From the moment the couple became parents earlier this year, fans and paparazzi alike have been in a frenzy, waiting for a glimpse of the baby and — most of all — to know the name of the newest celebrity-child sensation. And now, in a ceremony that combined ancestral tradition with fairy tale-level grandeur, the world finally knows.

👑 A Palace Fit for Royalty

The venue? Nothing less than The Leela Palace, Udaipur, often called the “Venice of the East.” Surrounded by the still waters of Lake Pichola and decked out with fresh mogra garlands and golden diyas, the entire palace was transformed into a heavenly mandap glowing with spiritual energy.

Insiders report that Parineeti chose the Leela because it reminded her of her childhood family holidays and represented peace and royalty — the exact energy she wanted for her baby’s first big moment.

Only 120 handpicked guests were invited — a blend of Chopra family members, top leaders from Aam Aadmi Party, and a few trusted Bollywood names. Security was tight, with guests banned from using phones during the intimate rituals.

🕉️ A Sacred Start: The Naamkaran Puja

The puja began at 6:15 AM sharp, guided by four Vedic priests flown in from Kashi. The rituals were rooted in age-old Hindu traditions, from Ganga Jal cleansing to the sacred Akshar Pujan, where the baby’s name was written for the first time on a silver plate in saffron paste.

And then came the moment.

As the conch shell blew and sacred fire crackled, Parineeti, glowing in a handwoven Banarasi pink-gold saree, and Raghav, in a cream Nehru jacket, gently whispered the baby’s name into his ear — a name chosen after days of consultation with astrologers, priests, and family elders.

🎉 The Baby’s Name Revealed: Aaravyaan Chadha

Yes — the newest heartthrob of India’s power couple is named Aaravyaan. A name with Sanskrit origins, Aaravyaan means “one who is peaceful, noble, and destined to lead.” The name is said to carry both astrological balance and spiritual depth — blending perfectly with the couple’s identities: Raghav’s political lineage and Parineeti’s creative spirit.

As the name was announced, the palace erupted in applause. Floral petals rained from the terrace, and a custom shehnai performance echoed across the lake.

💎 Lavish Details That Stunned Everyone

The celebration didn’t stop at the naamkaran.

Custom Jewelry for the Baby: Baby Aaravyaan wore a bespoke gold bracelet engraved with the family initials and a protective mantra.

A Floating Cradle Ceremony: In a symbolic blessing, the baby was gently placed in a floral cradle floated on the palace’s indoor pool, a Rajasthani tradition believed to bring lifelong prosperity.

Michelin-Starred Catering: The feast included Rajasthani thalis, Italian truffle risotto, and Jain-friendly Indian fusion cuisine — curated by a team flown in from Delhi and Italy.

Return Gifts for Guests: Each attendee received a handcrafted sandalwood Ganpati idol, a silk stole with the baby’s name embroidered, and a handwritten thank-you note from Parineeti and Raghav.

🌍 Internet Goes Into MELTDOWN

As soon as the name was revealed, fans flooded X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Threads.

“Aaravyaan Chadha — that name SLAPS! Sounds like a future Prime Minister!”
“Parineeti is living every Indian girl’s dream! Royal palace naamkaran? ICONIC.”
“That baby is already more stylish than I’ll ever be 😭”

Celebrity friends chimed in too:

Priyanka Chopra Jonas: “Can’t wait to meet baby Aaravyaan! He’s already a star 💫”

Karan Johar: “Aaravyaan Chadha — what a name! What a destiny. Big love to Pari & Raghav.”

👶 What’s Next for Baby Aaravyaan?

Sources close to the couple say Parineeti is planning a temporary move to London for a few months to focus on motherhood away from the limelight, while Raghav continues his political rise in Delhi. However, they are considering launching a parenting podcast together, sharing modern yet rooted Indian parenting experiences — a potential cultural hit-in-the-making.

And as for baby Aaravyaan? With his bloodline, his grace, and now his unforgettable debut — he’s already a legend in the making.

FINAL THOUGHT

In a time of fast news and fleeting headlines, Parineeti and Raghav reminded the nation what it means to honor tradition, celebrate new life, and make memories that will echo for generations.

Welcome to the world, Aaravyaan Chadha — the palace baby whose name will never be forgotten.
