PM Modi, Gandhi Family Attend Revati Sule's Delhi Wedding Reception
A lady named Revati Sule recently got married to Sarang Lakhani.
Her mother, Supriya Sule, and her grandfather, Sharad Pawar, are famous political leaders in India.
After the wedding in Mumbai, the family held a big celebration party called a reception in New Delhi.
Many of India's most important leaders came to the party to wish the couple well.
Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah were there.
Leaders from different political parties, who often compete against each other, all came together and took photos with the couple.
People gathered because Sharad Pawar is a very respected leader with friends on all sides.
Some people found it interesting because the party Sharad Pawar leads is part of the main opposition group, yet he has been meeting with the Prime Minister lately.
Famous people like actor Shah Rukh Khan also joined the wedding celebrations.
