Mahua Moitra confirms her marriage with ex-BJD MP Pinaki Misra in Germany

TMC MP from Krishnanagar Mahua Moitra is said to have married former MP Pinaki Misra in a quiet ceremony in Germany on June 3, though no official statement has been issued

Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra confirmed on Thursday that she has tied the knot with former Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MP Pinaki Mishra, expressing her thanks to everyone who sent their love and blessings.

 

Rumours had been swirling about their marriage, which, according to media reports, took place in a quiet, private ceremony in Germany.

 

“Thank you everyone for the love and good wishes!! So grateful,” Moitra wrote in a post on X, sharing a photo of the couple smiling and cutting a cake.

 

   Mahua's collegue and fellow TMC MP Saayoni Ghosh posted on X, saying, "Congratulations Mm & Pm... @MahuaMoitra @OfPinaki wishing you a lifetime of love and laughter," along with a photo of Ghosh with Moitra, Misra, and TMC MP June Malia. However, other TMC leaders claimed ignorance of the development, PTI reported.   

 

 

As per reports, the wedding was held discreetly in Germany on June 3. Neither Moitra nor Misra, who is a practising Supreme Court senior advocate, have issued any official statement on this.

 

While Moitra publicly acknowledged the marriage on social media, news agency PTI noted that it couldn’t independently verify the ceremony's details. However, a photograph of the couple has been making the rounds online.

Moitra, 50, who once worked as an investment banker, is now in her second straight term as MP for Krishnanagar, West Bengal. She started out in politics with the Indian Youth Congress and later joined the TMC in 2010. She was earlier married to Danish financier Lars Brorson.

Misra was formerly a BJD Lok Sabha MP from the Puri constituency in Odisha. In 1996, he won the Puri seat on a Congress ticket. He later switched parties and returned to the Lok Sabha from the same constituency in 2009, winning the seat for two more consecutive terms. 

The marriage of the two seasoned politicians has drawn widespread attention and warm wishes from across the political spectrum and social media.

West Bengal BJP president and Union minister Sukanta Majumdar congratulated both of them.

"I know both of them as fellow MPs. Congratulations to both of them," he said.

Senior TMC leader Kunal Ghosh also congratulated Moitra.
