'Bharat Jodo Vivah': Wedding invite of Jammu's daughter, Kerala's son wows internet

A wedding is a beautiful celebration that unites not just two individuals, but also their families. However, when a wedding transcends regional and cultural boundaries, it becomes a national celebration, fostering unity and solidarity among people from diverse backgrounds.

Recently, a couple made headlines by incorporating their diverse regional identities into their wedding invitation, drawing inspiration from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's iconic Bharat Jodo Yatra. This thoughtful gesture not only showcased their pride in their heritage but also promoted national unity and inclusivity. By embracing their differences and celebrating their shared humanity, the couple's wedding became a symbol of hope and harmony for the nation.

Taking to X, the bride Abhilasha Kotwal shared her wedding invite and tagged Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Chopra. “When a wedding is more diverse than a coalition government, you know it’s special! @RahulGandhi @priyankagandhi —our love story mirrors the vision you stand for. Will you bless it? She wrote. 

"Inspired by the #BharatJodoYatra we are celebrating our #BharatJodoVivaah to celebrate a love that transcends boundaries, faiths & unites us as one.@RahulGandhi@priyankagandhi our marriage mirrors the vision you stand for, will you bless it?" she added.

She also personally delivered an invitation to Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's residence, sharing a heartwarming connection - her mother had designed and printed Priyanka Gandhi's wedding invitation years ago. In the invite, the bride is referred to as the ‘daughter of Jammu and Bengal’ while her groom Vinal William is ‘son of Punjab and Kerala’, highlighting their diverse backgrounds.
