PM, Advani attend Mulayam kin's reception
Prime Minister Narendra Modi smiled, laughed and maintained a pleasant
demeanour here at Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav's
grandnephew Tej Pratap Singh's wedding reception.
Tej Pratap has married Raj Laxmi, the youngest daughter of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad.
The function Thursday was also attended by veteran BJP leader L.K. Advani and Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi's daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and her husband Robert Vadra also marked their presence.
Considering that several politicians were present, the colour white stood out as far as the attires were concerned.
Modi,
who exuded charm and a peaceful vibe in a white kurta pyjama teamed up
with a dark shade Nehru jacket, was also seen interacting with other
guests. In one photograph, Modi is seen caught in a candid chat with
Lalu Prasad and Mulayam Singh.
On the other hand, Robert and
Priyanka colour co-ordinated their appearance with Priyanka wearing a
black sari with golden work on it, and Robert donning a black blazer
over his white shirt.
While the bride emanated charm in a heavily
embellished red ensemble, the groom also made a style statement in a
blingy sherwani.
Other than the glitz and glamour, elaborate arrangements were also put in place for the lavish event.
For
the couple, pre-wedding celebrations started Feb 21 with their tilak
ceremony, which was held in Saifai in Uttar Pradesh briefly attended by
Modi.
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan also graced the occasion in Saifai, and later took to his official blog to share his experience.
He
wrote: "It was the wedding engagement of Mulayam Singh ji's nephew with
Lalu Prasad Yadav's daughter in Saifai, the hometown in Uttar Pradesh
of Mulayam Singh ji. A journey that can only be described as one filled
with importance, reverence and adrenalin."
