Bhubaneswar: A video of newlyweds – Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra and former Odisha MP Pinaki Misra – dancing to a Bollywood romantic classic “Raat Ke Humsafar” went viral on social media on Sunday.
The TMC MP had posted the dance video, giving a peek into a celebratory moment of their recent low-key wedding celebration in Berlin, Germany, on May 30, on her Instagram story. Though the video later disappeared, it quickly went viral and was widely shared by social media users.

After a day of speculation, the MP from West Bengal’s Krishnanagar constituency had on June 5 confirmed her strictly-private wedding to the veteran parliamentarian from Odisha’s Puri, attended by close friends and family. “Thank you everyone for the love and good wishes!! So grateful,” she wrote on X, sharing a picture of them with their wedding cake.

The wedding marked the second marriage for both – Mahua (51) and Pinaki (65).
A St Stephen’s College alumnus, Pinaki is a senior Supreme Court advocate. He first won the Lok Sabha seat from Puri in 1996 as a Congress candidate. Over a decade later, he returned to the Lok Sabha from Puri, this time on a BJD ticket, serving three terms from 2009 to 2019. He did not contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, and the seat was won by BJP’s Sambit Patra.
