Some love stories quietly unfold over years while growing, changing and finding their moment. That's the feeling many got when Raihan Vadra, son of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Robert Vadra, confirmed his engagement to long-time partner Aviva Baig and soon after, Priyanka shared a deeply personal post that traced their bond back to childhood.
Priyanka Gandhi's post wins hearts
On Instagram, Priyanka offered an intimate window into their journey, sharing two photos that beautifully featured their past and present together. One showed the newly engaged couple smiling in stunning ethnic looks, while the other was a nostalgic childhood frame, hinting at just how far the story goes.
Sharing the two pictures, she wrote, "Love you both very much ❤️❤️ May you always love and respect each other and remain the best friends you have been since you were 3!!"

The couple, meanwhile, kept things understated and elegant. Raihan and Aviva posted the same photographs with a simple caption, "29.12.25".
From childhood friends to partners
While the pair have largely stayed away from the spotlight, Priyanka's post confirmed the sweetest detail: they've known each other since they were three. What began as friendship slowly evolved into companionship, and now, an engagement that has captured public curiosity.
