Aam Aadmi Party national convenor and ex-Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s daughter, Harshita Kejriwal, wedded her college mate Sambhav Jain on Friday, April 18. The marriage ceremony was held at Kapurthala House in New Delhi, which is the official house of the Punjab CM when in the capital. Close family and friends from the party were present at the wedding, including Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and AAP minister Gopal Rai.

Harshita has a degree in Chemical Engineering, graduating in 2018, after which she served as an Associate Consultant with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) at Gurugram.
