NDT marriage now legal
Veteran Congress leader and former Andhra Pradesh Governor ND Tewari, who tied the knot with the mother of his biological son Rohit Shekhar on May 14 last, got his marriage registered at the registration office here on Monday morning.
The 89-year-old leader, who arrived at the registration office, accompanied by his wife Ujjwala Sharma and staff members, completed all formalities related to the marriage to give it a legal status. Tewari had surprised everyone by marrying Sharma at a simple ceremony at his Mall Avenue residence on last Wednesday.
Tiwari was Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh thrice and Uttarakhand once. He was the Governor of Andhra Pradesh between 2007 and 2009, when his name figured in a sex scandal and he had to resign. He was also the External Affairs Minister in the Rajiv Gandhi’s Cabinet in 1980s. Tiwari was earlier involved in a long legal battle to accept Ujjawla Sharma’s son Rohit Shekhar as his biological son.
