Mahua Moitra And Pinaki Misra Wedding: Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has tied the knot with former BJD MP Pinaki Misra in a private ceremony abroad, according to multiple media reports.
A photo, reportedly from the wedding, surfaced showing 50-year-old Moitra and 65-year-old Misra holding hands and smiling. However, there has been no official confirmation of the wedding from the two politicians.
Moitra, known for her fiery speeches in Parliament, was elected twice from West Bengal’s Krishnanagar seat. During her first term as MP, she was disqualified over “cash-for-query" allegations.
Saayoni Ghosh, Moitra’s colleague and TMC Lok Sabha MP, congratulated the couple on the occasion.

Moitra was born on October 12, 1974, in Assam. She began her career as an investment banker before taking the political plunge. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics and Mathematics, graduating Magna Cum Laude from Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, USA.
In 2010, she joined Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress (TMC) and secured her first electoral victory in 2019 from the Karimpur assembly constituency in West Bengal.
