Why does the media keep picking on random details? Let Parineeti enjoy her brother's birthday. Manish Malhotra is a family friend, simple hai. Besharam log! 🙄

The "b se bayein, d se daayein" line is pure gold 😂 That's classic Indian sibling humor - teaching each other driving basics with full authority! And Shivang being a doctor with a sneaker passion is such a vibe.

I think it's sweet that Parineeti keeps her family close despite being a star. But honestly, the media needs to stop overanalyzing every Bollywood post. Not everything is a conspiracy - sometimes it's just a birthday post with a fashion legend photobombing! 🤷‍♀️

The "jugaadu" mention hits home for every Indian sibling who grew up fixing problems with duct tape and innovation! And Manish Malhotra being part of wedding festivities is no surprise - he literally dresses half of Bollywood. Nice to see candid moments behind the glitz.

I love how Parineeti calls her brother her "disciple" 😂 That's such a desi elder sibling energy! Also, her husband Raghav Chadha being in the photos shows a nice family dynamic. And Manish Malhotra? He's basically family now after styling so many Chopra weddings!
