This cross-party wedding not only drew public attention for its personal significance but also for the unique pairing of two senior politicians from West Bengal’s TMC and Odisha’s BJD.
Who Are Mahua Moitra and Pinaki Misra? Political Profiles Explained
Mahua Moitra, 50, is a two-time Member of Parliament from Krishnanagar, West Bengal, and a former investment banker. She began her political journey with the Indian Youth Congress before joining the Trinamool Congress in 2010. Moitra made national headlines in 2023 when she was expelled from the Lok Sabha following bribery allegations involving businessman Darshan Hiranandani, based on a complaint from her former associate, Jai Anant Dehadrai.
Despite the controversy, Moitra strongly denied the charges and staged a political comeback by winning the 2024 elections from the same constituency.
Pinaki Misra, 65, is a senior advocate in the Supreme Court of India and a four-term former MP from Puri, Odisha, representing the Biju Janata Dal (BJD). Known for his legal acumen and calm demeanour, Misra has long been a prominent face in Odisha’s political and legal circles.
Both leaders were previously married — Moitra to Danish financier Lars Brorson and Misra to an earlier partner. Their union represents not just a personal milestone but the coming together of two seasoned public personalities.
Public Reactions and Viral Social Media Buzz
The news of the wedding was first confirmed by Mahua Moitra herself on social media, but it was soon followed by congratulatory messages from across the political spectrum. TMC MP Saayoni Ghosh wrote: “Congratulations Mm & Pm… Mahua Moitra, Pinaki Misra, wishing you a lifetime of love and laughter!”

This unexpected political wedding became a trending topic online, with netizens praising the couple for keeping the ceremony private yet sharing their joy publicly. It offered a rare glimpse into the personal lives of public figures — a softer moment amidst the high-decibel political atmosphere.
