Raihan Vadra, the son of Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi and businessman Robert Vadra, has reportedly exchanged rings with his long-time girlfriend, according to ABP News.

The report said Raihan proposed to his girlfriend, Aviva Baig, after being in a relationship for around seven years, and she accepted. The engagement has reportedly been approved by both families.

Sources cited by ABP News added that Aviva Baig and her family are based in Delhi.

Who is Raihan Vadra

Raihan Vadra studied at The Doon School in Dehradun, an institution also attended by his grandfather, Rajiv Gandhi and uncle, Rahul Gandhi. He later pursued higher studies in politics at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London.

A visual artist and photographer, Raihan has been behind the camera since the age of 10. His work spans wildlife, street and commercial photography, according to his profile on APRE Art House, a contemporary art gallery in Mumbai’s Colaba.

In 2021, he held his first solo exhibition, Dark Perception, at Bikaner House in New Delhi. The show explored ideas of light, space and time, shaped by his experience of an eye injury sustained during a school cricket match in 2017.

“I started to do a lot of black-and-white shoots after my eye accident; the perception of how one perceives things and using the concept of darkness to seek light,” Raihan told NDTV.

Encouraged by his mother, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, photography has been a long-standing passion for him. He has also drawn inspiration from his grandfather, Rajiv Gandhi, who was an avid photographer.

Who is Aviva Baig

Aviva Baig completed her schooling at Modern School in Delhi and later earned a degree in Media Communication and Journalism from OP Jindal Global University.

A photographer and producer, Aviva describes her work as socially conscious, using visual storytelling to highlight issues and drive positive change. She has participated in several notable exhibitions, including You Cannot Miss This at the India Art Fair in 2023 and The Illusory World in 2019, according to NDTV in a report.

Beyond art, Aviva is also a former national-level football player.
