Dating rumours about Parineeti and Raghav began in March after they were seen together on a lunch date in Mumbai. Since then, they have been spotted together on several occasions. When the paparazzi asked them about the rumours, neither Parineeti nor Raghav confirmed or denied them. However, the couple continued to go on occasional dinner dates but none answered to any of the questions asked by the paparazzi, with 'shadi kab hai (when is the wedding)' being the most popular one.
As per reports, Parineeti and Raghav studied together at the London School of Economics. They have been friends for a long time. Parineeti, who was last seen in Sooraj Barjatya's Uunchai, will be seen in Chamkila next. The film is helmed by Imtiaz Ali and also stars Diljit Dosanjh.
