2. Rajiv and Sonia Gandhi: One of the most romantic love stories which not just changed the life of the couple but also changed the face of Nehru-Gandhi family legacy of politics. An Italian daughter-in-law was not of course what the ruling family of India was looking for, but, as they say, love knows no georgraphical  boundaries, Sonia not just became the heiress of Nehru-Gandhi legacy but also shared an inseparable bond with her mother-in-law, Indira Gandhi.

In 1965, Sonia met a fellow student who was studying mechanical engineering at Cambridge and with the course of time, became the man of her dreams. Rajiv was mesmerized by Sonia's beauty and it was love at first sight for him. They dated for three years as everyone, including Sonia, was hesitant towards taking the relationship a step forward and tying a knot with the most eminent family's eldest son. After a few discussions, they both tied a knot in 1968.

After Rajiv's assassination, Sonia was devastated, but probably it was for Rajiv's deep love that she gathered herself and took over her family and Congress party. Their love story is one which will be remembered by every Indian living and their generations to come.
