Priyanka Gandhi Son Raihan Vadra Engagement: Gandhi family is once again in the headlines. Rehan Vadra, son of Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and businessman Robert Vadra, recently got engaged to Aviva Baig. After the engagement, the couple has reached Ranthambore in Rajasthan with their families. Meanwhile, a question is arising that which other member of the Gandhi family has got married abroad.

Gandhi family and marriages abroad

Most of the marriages in the Gandhi family have traditionally taken place in India. However, the most special international connection in the history of family marriage is that of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and his wife Sonia Gandhi. Their love story started not in India but in the United Kingdom.

How Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi met in England

Rajiv Gandhi met Sonia Maino (later Sonia Gandhi) in 1965 at the Varsity Restaurant in Cambridge, England. At that time Rajiv Gandhi was studying engineering and Sonia had come to Britain from Italy.

Where did Rajiv and Sonia get married?

Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi were married on 25 February 1968 in the garden of the then Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi’s residence in New Delhi. Although there have been repeated claims on social media about their marriage being registered abroad or taking place in a church, there is no official confirmation of this.

who attended the wedding

Only close family members and trusted friends attended the wedding ceremony. Those present included the then President Zakir Hussain, Indira Gandhi’s sister Vijay Lakshmi Pandit and Rajiv Gandhi’s younger brother Sanjay Gandhi.

Special place for Gandhi-Vadra family

Ranthambore has been very special for Priyanka Gandhi and her family for a long time. In the last few years, many private family moments have taken place in this tiger reserve. Rehan Vadra has been coming here with his mother for almost a decade and when he came close to Aviva Baig, she also started coming here with her family. Aviva Baig is a photographer and Rehan Vadra also has a lot of interest in art. Both of them have displayed their art in many solo exhibitions.
