New parents Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha have delighted fans by revealing the name of their newborn son, nearly a month after his arrival.
The couple, who welcomed their baby boy in October this year, shared the news on Wednesday in a joint Instagram post, accompanied by two heartwarming pictures. The photos, which offered the first public glimpse of their child, showed the couple lovingly kissing and holding the baby’s tiny feet, carefully keeping his face hidden.
The Meaning Behind ‘Neer’
In a poetic caption, Parineeti and Raghav revealed the profound significance of the name Neer.
Parineeti and Raghav: “Jalasya rūpam, premasya svarūpam — tatra eva Neer (The form of water, the essence of love — that is Neer).” Our hearts found peace in an eternal drop of life. We named him ‘Neer’ — pure, divine, limitless.
The name, which means “water” in Sanskrit and Hindi, symbolizes purity, fluidity, and the essence of life. Furthermore, according to sources, the name is also a beautiful blend of their own names, combining “Nee” from Parineeti and “R” from Raghav.
Wishes Pour In
The post instantly drew a flood of congratulations from industry friends and fans alike. Celebrities including Varun Dhawan, Gauahar Khan, Bharti Singh, Nimrat Kaur, and Hardy Sandhu rushed to the comments section to shower the new family of three with love.
Parineeti and Raghav first announced the arrival of their son on October 19, a little over a year after they tied the knot in a beautiful, intimate ceremony at The Leela Palace, Udaipur, in September 2023.
On the work front, Parineeti Chopra was last seen and widely praised for her performance in the Imtiaz Ali directorial, Amar Singh Chamkila, which also starred Diljit Dosanjh.
