Parineeti Chopra Supports Raghav Chadha's Stand On Film Piracy In Parliament
Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha have become a beloved couple since their marriage. Recently, they caught the public's attention when Parineeti praised Raghav for his speech in parliament. Raghav addressed a significant issue concerning the film industry, which deeply impressed Parineeti. She took to Instagram to express her admiration for her husband.
In the Rajya Sabha, Raghav Chadha highlighted the problem of film piracy. He stated, "Sir, as we all know, piracy is a plague that's all-pervasive, not just in the cinema industry today, but also in the OTT platform world. Sir, piracy and unauthorised reproduction of copyright content has led to an annual loss of ₹20,000 crore in the film industry and the OTT industry. And there has been a 62% increase in piracy incidents during the pandemic alone. Through you sir, I'd like to ask the honourable minister that the Cinematography Bill that was passed in this House last year, which largely deals with anti-camera recording of films etc in theatres, is the Government of India today planning to amend the Cinematography Bill or come out with a separate mechanism to deal with the piracy in OTT platforms that is also becoming widespread. Because of this unauthorised reproduction, years and years of hard work of artistes goes down down the drain. So I'd really urge through you to the Minister to come up with an institutional mechanism to deal with this piracy."
After his speech, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar remarked on Raghav's knowledge about the film industry. He said, "He knows much about the film industry. Off late, he's gained experience." Noticing Jaya Bachchan seated next to Raghav, Jagdeep added, "Jaya ji has been diligent ever since she entered that silver screen. It's because of her that the question has been rationally worded." When Raghav sought permission to respond to her comment, Jagdeep advised him,"Never clarify when you get endorsement from a legend."
Following his impactful speech on film piracy, Parineeti Chopra took to Instagram to commend her husband. She wrote,"You're a star for raising this important issue in Parliament, my love (king emoji)."
The couple tied the knot last September after dating briefly. Their relationship continues to capture public interest due to their supportive gestures towards each other.
