The Pawar family, a long-standing subject of discussion in Maharashtra's politics, is once again in the headlines, but this time, the reason is not political, but a family celebration. A heartwarming scene unfolded at the engagement ceremony of Deputy CM Ajit Pawar's younger son, Jay Pawar.
Mumbai: The Pawar family, often in the news for political tussles in Maharashtra, is currently making headlines for a joyous family occasion. At the engagement of Deputy CM Ajit Pawar's younger son, Jay Pawar, a surprising sight emerged—Sharad Pawar, Supriya Sule, and Ajit Pawar appeared together on the same stage, setting aside their political differences. The trio shared this special moment with smiles, conveying the message that family ties transcend political tensions. This scene symbolized the Pawar family's unity and emotional strength.
Intimacy displayed at the family gathering
The engagement ceremony was held as a private affair at Ajit Pawar's farmhouse in Pune. Only close relatives and family friends were invited. Jay Pawar got engaged to Rituja Patil, daughter of Satara entrepreneur Praveen Patil. On this auspicious occasion, Jay and Rituja also sought blessings from Sharad Pawar, further reinforcing the message that family relationships are above political tensions.
Will the Pawar family reunite?
A political rift within the Pawar family became public after Ajit Pawar parted ways with the NCP in 2023 to become Deputy Chief Minister in the BJP-Shiv Sena government. However, Sharad Pawar's presence and the family's warmth at Jay's engagement suggest that the family bonds may be slowly mending.
Jay Pawar: A businessman with political interests
Jay Pawar is a young businessman. He started his business in Dubai before returning to India and expanding his operations in Mumbai and Baramati. He is also interested in politics and was recently seen campaigning for his mother, Sunetra Pawar, in the Lok Sabha elections. He also actively participated in his father's campaign during the assembly elections.
Jay Pawar's fiancée, Rituja Patil, is a modern-thinking young woman. Her father, Praveen Patil, owns a social media company and has considerable experience in the digital world. Rituja and Jay's pairing has been considered a long-standing, mutually agreeable union between their families.
