Mahua Moitra confirms her marriage to former BJD MP Pinaki Mishra

Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra confirms marriage to former BJD parliamentarian Pinaki Misra in private Berlin wedding

"Thank you everyone for the love and good wishes!! So grateful - Mahua Moitra"

Kolkata, June 5

Bringing an end to the daylong speculation, Trinamool Congress MP from Krishnanagar Mahua Moitra on Thursday confirmed her marriage with senior Supreme Court advocate and BJD's former Puri MP Pinaki Misra.

After a picture went viral on social media where Moitra, decked in gold and was all smiles while holding the hand of Misra, there were desperate attempts by the media persons to get confirmation from Moitra about the marriage. However, no concrete reply came from her end throughout the day.

However, finally, on Thursday evening, she posted a thank you message on her X handle, where she had posted her picture with Misra. "Thank you everyone for the love and good wishes!! So grateful," said Moitra in her social media message. As per the information available, the marriage function was in Berlin on May 30.

Misra served as a Lok Sabha member from Puri from 1996 to 2024, first from the Congress and then from the Biju Janata Dal. However, he opted out of the poll battle in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

This is his second marriage, and he has a son and a daughter from her previous marriage. This is also the second marriage of Moitra. Earlier, she was married to Danish financier Lars Brorson, whom she divorced.

Moita was elected from Krishnanagar Lok Sabha constituency for the first time in 2019. However, her tenure in the Lok Sabha was cut short after she was expelled from the Lok Sabha in the wake of the "cash for query" controversy.

She was elected from Krishnanagar again in 2024. Before becoming an MP, she had also served as a Trinamool legislator from the Karimpur Assembly constituency in Nadia district.

Congratulations to the couple! 🎉 It's refreshing to see politicians having personal lives too. Mahua has been a strong voice in Parliament, hope this new chapter brings her happiness. Though I wonder how this might affect her political equations with BJD now.

Why is this even news? Our media focuses too much on politicians' personal lives rather than their work. Mahua is a capable leader - we should discuss her policies, not her marriage. That said, best wishes to them both.

Interesting match - a fiery TMC MP and a seasoned BJD leader. Hope they keep their political differences aside at home! 😄 On serious note, wish them happiness. Both have served their constituencies well.

The gold jewelry in the photo is stunning! Traditional yet modern look. But more importantly, it's good to see women politicians remarrying without stigma. Sets a positive example in our society.

While I wish them well personally, I can't ignore that Mahua was expelled for cash-for-query. Hope this new phase brings more responsibility in her public life too. Our country needs clean politicians more than ever.

Married in Berlin? How very cosmopolitan! But seriously, it's their personal choice. What matters is how they serve the people. Mahua has been quite vocal on women's issues - hope she continues that work with same passion.
