Key Takeaways
Kolkata, June 5 (NationPress) Concluding the day's rampant speculation, Mahua Moitra, the Trinamool Congress MP from Krishnanagar, officially announced her marriage to the distinguished Supreme Court lawyer and former BJD MP for Puri, Pinaki Misra, on Thursday.
A photo circulating on social media, where Moitra radiantly adorned in gold was seen lovingly holding Misra's hand, sparked a flurry of inquiries from journalists seeking validation of the union. Despite their persistent efforts, Moitra remained tight-lipped throughout the day.
Eventually, on Thursday evening, she expressed her gratitude on her X account, sharing a picture with Misra. "Thank you everyone for the love and good wishes!! I am so grateful," she wrote, marking the occasion. Reports indicate that the wedding occurred in Berlin on May 30.
Misra has represented Puri in the Lok Sabha from 1996 to 2024, initially as a member of Congress and later with the Biju Janata Dal. Notably, he has chosen not to contest the upcoming 2024 elections.
This marriage marks his second; he has a son and daughter from a previous relationship. Moitra, too, is experiencing her second marriage after her divorce from Danish financier Lars Brorson.
Moitra first secured her position as MP from Krishnanagar in 2019, although her term was interrupted following her expulsion related to the "cash for query" debacle.
She successfully regained her seat in 2024. Prior to her parliamentary career, she also served as a Trinamool legislator representing the Karimpur Assembly constituency in Nadia district.
