Mahua Moitra And Pinaki Misra Wedding: Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has reportedly tied the knot with former BJD MP Pinaki Misra in a private ceremony abroad.

Moitra, in a post on X, thanked everyone for their good wishes, seemingly confirming the news of her wedding. She shared a photo with Misra, where the couple is seen cutting a wedding cake.

In the picture, Moitra is wearing a pink Banarasi silk saree with intricate gold zari work. She paired the saree with traditional gold jewellery, including a choker necklace, jhumkas, and a maang tikka. Her look was completed with subtle makeup and a sleek, center-parted hairdo.
