Additionally, she is a former national-level football player, highlighting her diverse talents. Her photography often focuses on social issues, reflecting her desire to create positive change through art.

Who Is Raihan Vadra?

Raihan Vadra was educated at the Doon School in Dehradun, following the footsteps of his grandfather Rajiv Gandhi and uncle Rahul Gandhi. He later attended the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, specialising in politics.

Raihan has been a passionate visual artist since childhood. His photography spans wildlife, street, and commercial genres. In 2021, he held his first solo exhibition, Dark Perception, at Bikaner House in New Delhi. The exhibition explored imaginative freedom, shaped by his personal experiences, including an eye injury sustained during a school cricket match in 2017.

Raihan explained to NDTV, “I started to do a lot of black and white shoots after my eye accident; it changed the way I perceive things. I use darkness to seek light.” Photography has been a lifelong passion, encouraged by his mother, with inspiration drawn from his grandfather Rajiv Gandhi’s works.
