Parineeti Chopra lauds Raghav Chadha after AAP MP raises piracy issue in Parliament

New Delhi/IBNS: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha Raghav Chadha received a cheer from his wife, actress Parineeti Chopra, after the young politician raised the piracy issue in the upper house of Parliament.

In his speech, Raghav said, "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 have led to an annual loss of Rs. 20,000 crore in the film industry and the OTT industry. And there has been a 62 per cent increase in piracy incidents during the pandemic alone."

The AAP MP added, "I would 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 the drain. So I'd really urge through you to the Minister to come up with an institutional mechanism to deal with this piracy."

'You're a star, Raghav'

Sharing the address on her X handle, Parineeti wrote, "What do I say about him. You're a star for raising this important issue in parliament my love."

Raghav, an AAP Rajya Sabha from Punjab, tied the knot with Parineeti in 2023.

Parineeti, a very well known face in Bollywood, was last seen in Imtiaz Ali's Amar Singh Chamkila, starring alongside Diljit Dosanjh.
