New Delhi: During a recent interaction in Srinagar, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi once again found himself addressing a familiar question: “When will you get married?” The inquiry, posed this time by a group of Kashmiri women students, prompted Gandhi to respond with his characteristic wit and candidness.
Rahul Gandhi Faces Marriage Query in Srinagar
In a freewheeling chat shared on his YouTube channel, Rahul Gandhi engaged with Kashmiri women students who turned the tables on him when he asked them about societal pressures to marry. They inquired about his own marriage plans, to which the 54-year-old leader responded, “I have outlasted that pressure for 20-30 years.”
The question of Rahul Gandhi’s marriage has long been a topic of public curiosity and media speculation. However, Gandhi has consistently brushed off the topic with humor. This time, in Srinagar, he playfully suggested that while he doesn’t actively plan for marriage, it might happen if the circumstances align. His response, “Ab jaldi karni padegi” (It will have to be soon now), was met with laughter and further questions from the students, who insisted on being invited to his wedding.
A Recurring Question in Rahul Gandhi’s Public Interactions
The issue of Rahul Gandhi’s marriage surfaced prominently during a rally in Rae Bareli’s parliamentary constituency in May. During that event, his sister, Priyanka Gandhi, prompted him to respond to a similar question from the crowd. Despite the ongoing speculation, Rahul Gandhi has maintained a lighthearted approach to the subject, indicating that while he understands the curiosity, he is in no rush to make any announcements.
As Rahul Gandhi continues to engage with different communities across India, it seems that the question of his marriage will continue to follow him, much to the amusement of his supporters and the general public alike.
