Amid political buzz in the capital, preparations are quietly underway for a private family celebration, with Raihan Vadra, son of Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and businessman Robert Vadra, set to get engaged to his longtime girlfriend Aviva Beg, sources close to the family said.

The engagement is expected to be a low-key, two to three-day affair in Rajasthan, a state long associated with the Gandhi family. The ceremony is likely to be held in early January 2026, with dates being finalised to suit family schedules.

PROPOSAL AND FAMILY CONSENT

According to people familiar with the developments, Raihan recently proposed to Aviva during a private moment, and the proposal was accepted. Both families have since agreed to the alliance, paving the way for the engagement ceremony.

While the Vadra family has maintained discretion around the plans, sources said arrangements are already in progress, with an emphasis on keeping the gathering intimate and away from the public gaze.

ABOUT THE COUPLE

Raihan Vadra, 25, is a photographer with a focus on nature and wildlife, and his work has been showcased across exhibitions and digital platforms. Aviva Beg, a Delhi-based professional from a well-known family, is also associated with creative ventures and shares a keen interest in photography, particularly portrait and travel work.

The two are understood to have met through professional circles several years ago, bonding over shared creative interests and a love for visual storytelling, which later grew into a personal relationship.

NO OFFICIAL WORD YET

Neither the Vadra family nor the Congress has issued an official comment on the engagement so far. However, sources confirmed that the ceremony is being planned as a private family event, even as public attention remains firmly on the Vadra-Gandhi family’s political engagements.

Further details are expected to emerge closer to the event.
