Bhagwant Mann Wedding

Mann and Gurpreet Kaur tied the knot two years ago. His wedding was held at his residence in Chandigarh and was attended by select guests like the AAP national convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and MP Raghav Chadha. The Punjab Chief Minister's family members, including his mother and sister, were also a part of the wedding, which was solemnised according to Sikh rituals.
