In an unexpected twist, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was spotted dining at a pizzeria in Delhi, bypassing the high-profile wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. The undated video of Gandhi enjoying a casual meal has gone viral on social media, raising questions about his absence from the star-studded event in Mumbai.

The footage, presumably filmed by another patron, shows Gandhi animatedly conversing while seated at a corner table. His choice to dine at the pizzeria instead of attending the Ambani wedding has sparked widespread speculation, particularly as reports suggest he declined an invitation despite a personal visit from Mukesh Ambani.

Prominent politicians from across the spectrum attended the three-day wedding celebration, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who flew to Mumbai for the blessing ceremony on Saturday. The guest list featured several Union Ministers and Chief Ministers from various states, including West Bengal’s Mamata Banerjee and Uttar Pradesh’s Akhilesh Yadav, who attended with his family.

Day two of the festivities saw key figures from Maharashtra’s political landscape, such as Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, his deputies Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, and NCP (SP) leader Sharad Pawar. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan were also present.

Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav attended the wedding on Friday, further highlighting the event’s significance. Notably, only a few Congress leaders were seen at the celebrations. Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi appeared on the red carpet of the wedding ceremony, while party MP Rajeev Shukla attended the reception on Sunday.

The “Shubh Aashirwad” ceremony of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, held at the Jio World Convention Centre, was a grand affair with Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally welcomed by Mukesh and Nita Ambani. Modi blessed the newlyweds after they touched his feet. During his visit to Mumbai, the Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for several infrastructure projects worth over Rs 29,400 crore.

The video of Rahul Gandhi opting for pizza over attending the grand wedding has not only gone viral but also prompted discussions about his priorities and the broader implications for his political engagements.
