A Joyous Union at Kapurthala House
It’s not every day that political figures let their guard down, but the wedding of Harshita Kejriwal—daughter of former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal—saw a rare spectacle. On April 18, 2025, Kapurthala House in the heart of Delhi was abuzz with laughter, music, and a surprising dance number from the Kejriwals themselves. Harshita, following in the footsteps of her accomplished family, married her college companion Sambhav Jain in a charming ceremony attended by inner-circle family, close friends, and select leaders.
What made the event stand out? It had all the trappings of a significant Delhi wedding—historic venue, high-profile guests, and meticulous arrangements—but none of the overblown publicity. Kapurthala House, usually known as the residence of Punjab’s Chief Minister during Delhi visits, was transformed into a celebration hall. The couple, both proud alumni of IIT Delhi, kept the affair intimate and focused on close relationships rather than lavish spectacle. Their story, like that of many young urban Indians, began in the corridors and classrooms of India’s top institutes and evolved into something bigger with every shared project and late-night study session.
Pre-Wedding Festivities and Political Guests
The festivities began a night earlier at Delhi’s Shangri-La Hotel. The engagement and mehndi were cozy, energetic affairs—far from the stereotyped big-fat-Indian-wedding modules. Friends from IIT and relatives mingled easily with senior politicians and colleagues of Arvind Kejriwal. The presence of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and the much-missed former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia drew particular interest. There was no shortage of laughter, especially with political insiders sharing personal anecdotes away from the cameras and mics of their work lives.
The highlight came when Arvind Kejriwal and his wife Sunita joined the celebration on the dance floor. Their energetic performance to a tune from Pushpa 2 quickly made its way to social media, showing a side of the couple people rarely see. For onlookers, it was a reminder that even those who navigate the complex world of politics can let loose and celebrate family milestones. Guests described the dance as genuine and exuberant, with both Kejriwals moving in step and enjoying every moment of their daughter’s happiness.
Despite the attention, both the bride and groom’s families largely kept details private, especially about Sambhav Jain, who is described mainly by his IIT credentials and close association with Harshita. He’s already part of the Kejriwal circle, but outside the family’s immediate network, very little else is known. Many speculate about his professional direction, but the couple seemed content to let the wedding center on their personal journey rather than public speculation.
The celebration mixed tradition with contemporary elements, reflecting the tastes and attitudes of India’s younger generation. There was no long guest list of hundreds, no elaborate staged photoshoots or ostentatious displays. Instead, the focus remained on shared happiness, family bonds, and a little bit of Bollywood-inspired dancing that stole the show.
