‘Doglapanti’: Raghav Chadha faces massive backlash over viral photos with PM Narendra Modi

Raghav Chadha, former AAP MP and husband of Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra, found himself in the eye of a viral storm after sharing photos of his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The 8 August post garnered over 8 lakh views, but the social media backlash was swift and severe. Memes mocking Chadha flooded platforms like X, while others expressed disappointment.

Critics accused Chadha of hypocrisy, pointing to his previous criticism of the BJP and questioning his motives for joining their ranks. Old videos resurfaced showing Chadha previously lambasting the BJP, adding fuel to the fire. Despite his efforts to seek an injunction against the viral memes through the Delhi High Court, the court dismissed his plea, ruling that political satire is essential to democracy.

Chadha, who lost approximately 2 million Instagram followers after defecting in April 2026, faces intense online trolling and public backlash, with many questioning the sudden change in his political allegiance and his perceived lack of sincerity to the nation.
