As Valentine’s Day is a festival of love, it is hard to associate it with Indian politicians, because we have always seen them bickering inside and outside Parliament.

But despite that, some politicians had very "aww"-inspiring love stories. Here are some instances of romance and love in Indian politics.

Recently, when Swaraj was trolled on Twitter, her husband came to her rescue. In a bid to shame the troll, identified as Mukesh Gupta (@MG_IITDelhi), Kaushal shared the screenshot of the message he received on social media. "Your words have given us unbearable pain… Please do not use such words for her," he said.
