Engagement Bells for Raihan Vadra and Artist Aviva Baig

December 30, 2025: In a development that has captured the attention of both the political and social circles of the capital, Raihan Vadra, the son of Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and businessman Robert Vadra, is reportedly engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Aviva Baig.

The news emerged on December 30, 2025, with sources indicating that the 25-year-old artist proposed to Aviva recently in an intimate setting. The couple, who have been in a relationship for nearly seven years, received the heartfelt blessings of both families.

A Private Celebration in Rajasthan

While the initial proposal was a quiet, personal moment, reports suggest that a more formal engagement ceremony is being planned for early January 2026.

• Venue: The festivities are expected to take place in Rajasthan, a state with deep-rooted connections to the Gandhi-Vadra family.
• Scale: Staying true to the couple’s preference for privacy, the event is likely to be a low-key, two-to-three-day affair attended only by close friends and family members.
• Wedding Bells: Though no official date has been announced, sources close to the family hint that a wedding could follow in the coming months of 2026.

Aviva Baig is a Delhi-based creative professional who has built a distinct identity for herself in the world of visual arts and design.

• Education: An alumnus of the prestigious Modern School, Barakhamba Road, Aviva went on to study Media Communication and Journalism at O.P. Jindal Global University.

Raihan Vadra: The Artist Behind the Name

Despite being born into one of India’s most prominent political lineages, Raihan Vadra has largely charted a path away from the political limelight.

• Artistic Pursuit: Raihan is a celebrated visual artist and photographer. His passion for the craft began at the age of ten, inspired in part by the photography of his grandfather, former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
• Exhibitions: He has held several solo exhibitions, including “Dark Perception” and “The India Story,” focusing on wildlife, street photography, and themes of creative freedom.
• Education: Raihan attended The Doon School in Dehradun (the alma mater of several members of the Gandhi family) before pursuing higher education at the SOAS University of London.

A Bond Rooted in Creativity

The couple’s relationship is said to have flourished over their shared love for visual storytelling. Having met through mutual professional circles and shared interests, their seven-year journey has been marked by a mutual support for each other’s artistic endeavors.

While the Gandhi-Vadra family has not yet released a formal statement, the digital world has already begun celebrating the news after Aviva shared a rare, subtle glimpse of the couple on her social media, sparking warm wishes from well-wishers across the country.
