Amid the ongoing political activity in the national capital, quiet preparations are underway for a private family celebration involving the Vadra family. Raihan Vadra, the son of Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and businessman Robert Vadra, is set to get engaged to his longtime partner Aviva Baig, according to sources familiar with the developments. The engagement is expected to be a discreet affair, deliberately kept away from public attention, with the family choosing to celebrate the occasion in an intimate setting rather than through a large or high-profile event.
The ceremony is likely to take place in Rajasthan, a state closely associated with the Gandhi family, and is tentatively scheduled for early January 2026. Sources indicate that the engagement will span two to three days and will coincide with New Year celebrations. Members of the Gandhi and Vadra families have already arrived in Sawai Madhopur, having travelled by road from Delhi. They are currently staying at the Sher Bagh hotel near Ranthambore National Park, where the engagement-related events are expected to be held in a quiet and private environment.
According to people aware of the matter, Raihan recently proposed to Aviva during a personal moment, and the proposal was accepted. Following this, both families gave their consent to the relationship, paving the way for formal engagement plans. While the family has chosen not to make any public announcements, preparations are reportedly well underway, with a clear emphasis on keeping the occasion restricted to close relatives and friends.
Raihan Vadra, aged 25, is known for his work as a photographer, with a particular interest in nature and wildlife photography. His work has featured across exhibitions and online platforms. Aviva Baig, who is based in Delhi and comes from a well-known family, is also involved in creative pursuits and shares a passion for photography, especially portrait and travel photography. The two are believed to have met through professional circles several years ago, bonding over common creative interests that eventually developed into a personal relationship.
So far, neither the Vadra family nor the Congress party has issued an official statement regarding the engagement. However, sources close to the family have confirmed that the event is being intentionally kept low-key, even as public attention remains focused on the political activities of the Gandhi-Vadra family. More details are expected to emerge closer to the date of the ceremony.
