Vikramaditya Singh’s maternal uncle and BJP leader Prithvi Vikram Sen was first to post a photo of the ceremony with the two.

This is Vikramaditya Singh’s second marriage.

His previous marriage to Sudarshana Chundawat of Amet, Rajasthan, took place in 2019 and ended in divorce in November 2024.

Born on October 17, 1989, Vikramaditya Singh is the son of late Virbhadra Singh, a six-time Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh. Vikramaditya carries forward the family’s political legacy as a prominent leader of Congress in Himachal Pradesh. His mother Pratibha Singh is the president of Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC).

Singh represents the Shimla Rural constituency in the state legislative assembly.

In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Singh contested from the Mandi constituency, but was defeated by actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut.

An alumnus of Bishop Cotton School, Shimla, Singh earned a Bachelor’s degree in History from Hansraj College, Delhi University, in 2011 and later completed his postgraduate studies in History in 2016.
