Recently, actor Parineeti Chopra and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) member Raghav Chadha were seen together twice in two days, which started dating rumours. The two headed to a restaurant in Bandra on Thursday afternoon following dinner on Wednesday at the Westin hotel in Goregaon, Mumbai. The videos of their lunch outing have gained a lot of popularity.

Chadha went straight to his car, while Chopra stopped to pose for the photographers and have a quick chat with them before getting into the same vehicle. It is unclear whether the two are actually dating or are just good acquaintances. The two are only close friends and not romantically involved, according to the India Todayreport. Since they both attended the London School of Economics as undergraduates, Chopra and Chadha have been pals and have mutual acquaintances.

However, top Bollywood actors have wed politicians over the years. Here we have compiled a list of actors who found their love in politicians.
