Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has tied the knot with Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader Pinaki Misra in a quiet ceremony in Berlin, Germany on May 3. The two-time Lok Sabha MP from Krishnanagar got married to Misra, a veteran parliamentarian representing Odisha's Puri constituency.
A photo accessed by media shows Moitra adorned in traditional attire and heavy gold jewellery, suggesting a private but ceremonious wedding.
Born on October 12, 1974 in Assam, Mahua Moitra started her career as an investment banker and later joined Mamata Banerjee's party in 2010. Moitra was elected to the Lok Sabha from the Krishnanagar constituency in West Bengal in 2019 and re-elected in 2024.
She gained national prominence for her articulate speeches, notably her address highlighting the "seven signs of fascism" in Parliament.
Pinaki Misra, born on October 23, 1959, in Odisha's Puri, is a veteran politician and senior advocate. He also holds a BA (Hons) in History from St. Stephen's College and an LLB from the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi.
Misra began his political journey with the Indian National Congress, winning the Puri Lok Sabha seat in 1996. He later joined Naveen Patnaik's Biju Janata Dal and has been re-elected multiple times, including victories in 2009, 2014, and 2019.
