In a surprising and much-talked-about development in Indian political circles, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra has reportedly tied the knot with former Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MP Pinaki Misra in a private wedding ceremony held abroad. While there is no official confirmation from either of the two politicians, multiple media reports and a viral photograph suggest the couple is now married.
The viral photo, which has taken the internet by storm, shows 50-year-old Mahua Moitra and 65-year-old Pinaki Misra smiling and holding hands in what appears to be a serene, intimate moment. The private nature of the wedding and the absence of political fanfare have left fans and followers intrigued.
Who Is Mahua Moitra?
Mahua Moitra, a prominent face of the Trinamool Congress, was born on October 12, 1974, in Assam. Before venturing into politics, she had an impressive career in investment banking. Moitra graduated Magna Cum Laude from Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts, USA, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics and Mathematics.
Her political journey began in 2010, when she joined Mamata Banerjee’s TMC. She made her electoral debut in the West Bengal Assembly elections from the Karimpur constituency in 2016 and later rose to national prominence by winning the Krishnanagar Lok Sabha seat in 2019.
Moitra became known for her fiery parliamentary speeches, often challenging the ruling BJP government with bold and articulate critiques. However, her career faced turbulence when she was disqualified during her first term as MP over a controversial “cash-for-query” allegation.
Despite controversies, Mahua remains one of the strongest and most vocal opposition leaders, commanding attention on key national issues and regularly trending on social media.
Who Is Pinaki Misra?
Pinaki Misra, born on October 23, 1959, in Puri, Odisha, is a seasoned politician and respected legal expert. He completed his BA (Hons) in History from St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, and LLB from the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi.
Misra began his political career with the Indian National Congress, winning his first Lok Sabha election from Puri in 1996. Later, he joined Naveen Patnaik’s Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and became a consistent performer in Odisha politics, winning three more Lok Sabha elections from Puri in 2009, 2014, and 2019.
During his long tenure in Parliament, he has served on several influential parliamentary committees, including:
- Standing Committee on Finance
- Business Advisory Committee
- Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Defence
- Standing Committee on Civil Aviation
- Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Law & Justice
A trained lawyer and powerful orator, Pinaki Misra has balanced legal acumen with political diplomacy throughout his career.
