Mahua Moitra marries BJD MP Pinaki Misra in private ceremony in Germany
Kolkata: Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has reportedly married Biju Janata Dal MP Pinaki Misra in a quiet ceremony held in Germany on May 3. The Krishnagar MP and her party have remained tight-lipped about the wedding, with even fellow TMC leaders appearing unaware of the development.
A photograph sourced by *The Telegraph Online* shows Moitra smiling in Germany, adorned in gold, alongside her husband.
Pinaki Misra is a senior leader of the BJD and currently serves as the Lok Sabha MP from Puri. Moitra, known for her vocal presence in Parliament, was previously married to Danish financier Lars Brorson. She later dated advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai, whom she had publicly described as a “jilted ex” after their relationship ended.
Moitra’s first term in the Lok Sabha was marred by controversy after she faced allegations of raising questions in Parliament on behalf of a business rival of industrialist Gautam Adani. She was expelled from Parliament in late 2023 following an ethics panel inquiry.
Speaking to *The Guardian* at the time, she had remarked, “I have terrible taste in men.”
Both Moitra and Misra have not issued any public statement about their wedding so far.
