Rahul Gandhi opens up about marriage during interaction with Kashmiri students: ‘I don’t plan it but if it happens…’

“What do you think about marriage?” a student asks the Congress leader in the video. “I have outlasted that pressure for 20-30 years,” Gandhi, dressed in his signature white T-shirt and pants, says with a big smile. “But it is a good thing”, he added.

“Sir, do you plan to get married?” asks another student. “Yeah, yeah. I mean, I don’t plan it. But if it happens…,” he replies. “Please do and also invite us,” another student says. “I will. I will,” he promises.

As the video progresses, one of the students talks about the apprehension of getting married. “I am just 21, living my years, trying to chill. I don’t want to grow up anymore. It is a bit scary,” the student says.

“I was in the court last time for our court diary and I saw that divorce rates in Kashmir are increasing like anything. So, that’s better to not get married,” says another.
