DKS' daughter gets engaged to Café Coffee Day founder's son

Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president D.K. Shivakumar's eldest daughter Aisshwarya got engaged to Amartya, son of late Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) founder V.G. Siddhartha, on Thursday in a luxury hotel on the outskirts of the city.

Amartya is also the grandson of former External Affairs Minister, S.M. Krishna who joined BJP in 2017. Amartya is currently managing the businesses built by his late father, who was found dead under mysterious circumstances last year.

The couple is slated to get married in late February next year.

Amartya and Aisshwarya, the bride and groom-to-be chose simple, baby pink-themed outfits.

Amartya wore a pink sherwani set with a churidar, matched with a neckpiece. Aisshwarya looked resplendent in a pink embellished glitter lehenga, and completed the look with a platinum jewellery set.

Along with Shivakumar and his wife Usha the engagement rituals were conducted by Krishna and his wife Prema Krishna.

Due to Covid-19 pandemic, apart from close family and friends, the engagement ceremony was attended by Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, Revenue Minister R. Ashoka, Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah and others. IANS
