A cryptic Instagram post fuels speculation
Following her absence, Chopra shared a cryptic post on Instagram that read, “We’re really on borrowed time. Choose people that choose you, and let everyone else be.”
While she did not directly reference the Chopra family gathering, fans quickly linked it to her non-attendance.

This has led to widespread speculation about whether everything is well between the cousins. Some netizens even commented on Priyanka’s posts, questioning Parineeti’s whereabouts and why she wasn’t part of the festivities.

With social media buzzing over her absence, netizens flooded Priyanka’s posts with questions about why Parineeti was missing from the event.
Possible reasons behind Parineeti Chopra’s absence
Reports suggest that Parineeti is currently in London, which may explain her absence from the family gathering. However, this is not the first time a Chopra cousin has missed a significant event.
Last year, Priyanka did not attend Parineeti’s wedding to politician Raghav Chadha, citing prior work commitments. While Priyanka’s mother, Madhu Chopra, later clarified the reason for her daughter’s absence, it did not stop rumors of family tensions from spreading.
Despite the speculations, Parineeti’s parents were present at Siddharth’s engagement, indicating that the families remain connected. Whether her absence was due to work commitments or personal reasons, the cryptic Instagram post has only added to the intrigue.
