In an age where most relationships play out online, some still grow quietly, away from cameras and comments. Aviva Baig and Raihan Vadra’s story fits into that space.
Over the past few days, attention has turned towards the couple amid talk of an engagement, leading many to ask who they are and how their journey began.
The interest is not just because of their family background, but also because both Aviva and Raihan have built lives centred on art, creativity, and personal choice. While Raihan has stayed away from public life despite his well-known surname, Aviva has made her own place in the creative world.
Aviva Baig Has Built A Quiet Name In The Art World
Aviva Baig is a fine art photographer and creative producer based in New Delhi. She is known for keeping a low profile and letting her work speak for itself. Her photographs have featured in curated shows and projects that focus on meaning rather than popularity.
She is also the co-founder of Atelier 11, a Delhi-based photography studio and production space that works with artists, brands, and creative teams. People who know her describe her as focused, driven, and deeply invested in her work.
Her Education Shaped Her Creative Path
Aviva completed her schooling at Modern School, Barakhamba Road. She later studied journalism and communication at O. P. Jindal Global University, where her interest in visual stories grew stronger. Alongside academics, she was also a national-level football player, showing her long-standing discipline and commitment.
Her Work Has Featured In Major Art Spaces
Aviva’s photography has appeared in both Indian and international publications. Her work often looks at people, spaces, and city life in a personal way. In 2019, her work was shown at The Illusory World exhibition at The Quorum Club.
In 2023, her practice was featured by Method Gallery at You Cannot Miss This. She also took part in the India Art Fair Young Collector Programme, gaining recognition within art circles without chasing the spotlight.
Raihan Vadra Has Chosen A Different Path From Politics
Raihan Vadra is the elder son of Priyanka Gandhi and Robert Vadra, and the grandson of Sonia Gandhi. Despite his family background, he has stayed away from politics and public attention.
He studied at The Doon School and later completed his higher education at SOAS University of London. Raihan is a visual artist who creates art setups and is also interested in wildlife photography. His first exhibition, Dark Perception, explored themes of nature, form, and shadow.
Their Relationship Grew From Friendship
Aviva and Raihan first connected over shared interests in art and photography. Their bond began as a friendship that slowly deepened over nearly seven years. Friends reportedly say their relationship grew naturally, without pressure or public display.
They spent time travelling, sharing ideas, and supporting each other’s creative work, which slowly turned friendship into love.
Sources close to the family say Raihan recently proposed to Aviva, and she accepted. Both families are said to be supportive. True to their nature, the couple has chosen to keep the moment personal, with no public announcement so far.
