New Delhi: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was the latest to join the bandwagon of women posting their pictures in Sari on Twitter. Her post led to a rare personal exchange on the social media site with her husband Robert Vadra.
‘#Saree Twitter’ has been trending on the microblogging website, which is flooded with posts from women all over.
Joining the trend, Priyanka Gandhi tweeted a photo showing her in a pink and gold Benarasi saree.

The Congress leader who has recently taken over as a general secretary of the party in Uttar Pradesh, said it was a throwback photograph from the day of her wedding.
Her husband Robert Vadra, who professed love for his wife on Twitter and said “love, happiness, support” is the foundation of their being.
Ms Gandhi Vadra was flooded with anniversary wishes following the tweet, prompting her to clarify that her wedding anniversary is in February. “Thanks for all the anniversary wishes...But it’s just a throwback photo for the #SareeTwitter guys, my anniv is in Feb!” Priyanka Gandhi said on the microblogging site.
