Himachal Pradesh Cabinet Minister and titular king of the erstwhile princely state of Bushahr, Vikramaditya Singh, 36, tied the knot with Amreen Kaur, an assistant professor at Panjab University, at a private ceremony in Chandigarh Monday.

The Anand Karaj – wedding ceremony solemnised as per Sikh traditions – took place at a gurdwara in Sector 11 and was attended by close family members and friends.

The Shimla Rural MLA holds the Public Works Department portfolio in the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led state Cabinet. While Vikramaditya is the son of six-time chief minister Virbhadra Singh and Himachal Pradesh Congress president Pratibha Singh, Amreen’s parents Sardar Jotinder Singh Sekhon and Opinder Kaur are residents of Sector 2 in Chandigarh.

This is Vikramaditya’s second marriage. In 2019, he married Sudarshana Singh Chundawat of the erstwhile princely estate of Amet in Rajasthan. However, in October 2022, Sudarshana filed a civil suit in an Udaipur court, accusing Vikramaditya and his family of harassment. Family sources revealed that the matter was settled amicably two months ago, and that the two have legally separated.

An alumnus of Hansraj College, Delhi University, Vikramaditya was active in student politics and later completed his Master’s in History from St Stephen’s College in the Capital. He formally joined the Himachal Pradesh Congress unit in 2013 and went on to serve as president of the state Youth Congress.

Vikramaditya entered electoral politics in 2017, winning his first Assembly election from Shimla Rural. Along with Virbhadra Singh, he created history that year by becoming the first father-son duo to take oath together as legislators in the state. After Virbhadra’s death in July 2021, Vikramaditya was symbolically anointed as the ‘Raja of Bushahr’ in a private ceremony at Padam Palace, Rampur.

In 2024, Vikramaditya contested the Lok Sabha elections from Mandi, then represented by his mother, but lost to actor-turned-BJP leader Kangana Ranaut.
