A heartwarming video of newlyweds Mahua Moitra and Pinaki Mishra dancing joyfully at their intimate wedding celebration in Germany has gone viral on social media, drawing admiration and emotional responses from fans and public figures alike.
The couple tied the knot on May 30 in a private ceremony held in Germany. A video shared from the event showed the pair dancing to the classic Bollywood tune “Raat Ke Humsafar” from the 1967 film An Evening in Paris. Moitra wore a pale pink saree while Mishra complemented her attire with a peach-toned kurta-pyjama and Nehru jacket, making their chemistry on the dance floor evident to all.
Though the clip was brief, it quickly gained traction online, sparking discussions about their relationship, attire, and the simplicity of the event.
On June 5, Moitra, 50, confirmed their marriage by posting a photo on social media platform X, where the couple is seen cutting a wedding cake featuring the initials “MP.” In her caption, she wrote, “I am truly grateful for all the kind messages you have given me. So thankful.” Her announcement confirmed long-standing speculation about her relationship status.
This is Moitra’s second marriage; she was previously married to a Danish financier. Her new husband, Pinaki Mishra, 65, is a senior advocate and former MP from Odisha. He was earlier married to Sangeeta Mishra, with whom he has two children.
The wedding drew warm wishes from colleagues and well-known personalities. TMC leader Saayoni Ghosh posted on X, “Congratulations Mr & Mrs Prime Minister… I wish you will always have love and laughter in your life.” Personalities like Javed Akhtar and Swara Bhaskar also shared their congratulations.
Reactions online were mixed. While many lauded the couple for embracing love later in life, some brought up Moitra’s political journey, referencing her recent election victory after losing her seat in Birbhum, which marked a significant comeback in her political career.
This union of two seasoned public figures, both respected in their fields, is being hailed by many as a reminder that love and new beginnings have no age limit.
