The gross assumption that Harshita Kejriwal and her spouse cannot fund their own wedding

Fwiw, she's an accomplished professional, studied from one of the best institutes in the country, worked at one of the leading corporates in India and now runs her own business https://t.co/xcuRz0uWYx

Dear andhbhakt with cowdung filled skull, Harshita is an IIT graduate and a self dependent woman who not only can fund her own wedding, but can provide employment to thousands of unemployed people like you. So, rather than wasting your time here, apply for some job with Harshita.

Support from the internet

While the wedding pictures and videos are going viral online, some users criticised and questioned Arvind Kejriwal as to how can he afford such a grand wedding if he has been a 'Civic Public Servant' all his life. This is where a few netizens came i support of the newly wed and explained how the coupe is a IIT graduate and run their own businesses.

His daughter is Harshita Kejriwal, an IITian who worked formerly at Boston Consulting Group, and is the founder of her own company, Basil Health. She and her husband, also an IITian are definitely capable of funding their own wedding. Keep your genius conspiracy theories to…

Beyond her corporate and entrepreneurial pursuits, Harshita has also shown keen interest in civic engagement. She has been seen actively participating in AAP election campaigns alongside her mother, Sunita Kejriwal, showcasing her commitment to the family’s values of public service and governance.
