Himachal Pradesh Minister Vikramaditya Singh, son of late CM Virbhadra Singh, marries Panjab University professor Dr. Amreen Kaur Sekhon in a private Anand Karaj ceremony in Chandigarh.
A Royal Yet Intimate Wedding in Chandigarh
Himachal Pradesh Public Works and Urban Development Minister Vikramaditya Singh, son of six-time Chief Minister late Virbhadra Singh and Himachal Congress chief Pratibha Singh, began a new chapter in life on Monday. He tied the knot with Dr. Amreen Kaur Sekhon, an accomplished academic and Assistant Professor at Panjab University, Chandigarh, in a modest yet graceful wedding ceremony.
The couple exchanged vows in an Anand Karaj ceremony at a gurdwara, with only close family members present. The gathering was intentionally kept small, reflecting the families’ wish to celebrate the occasion in a private and dignified manner.

Regal Attire with Subtle Elegance
Despite the low-key arrangements, the ceremony was steeped in tradition and carried a regal aura.
- Vikramaditya Singh wore a pastel pink sherwani with fine embroidery, paired with a vibrant orange and pink turban. His look was completed with a traditional kalgi and a ceremonial sword wrapped in a multicoloured sash, symbolizing his royal lineage.
- Dr. Amreen Kaur, the bride, looked resplendent in a heavily embroidered peach-toned lehenga, her face partially veiled with an ornate dupatta. Golden bridal kalire hung gracefully from her wrists, adding to her traditional Punjabi bridal look.
Their wedding photographs, captured outside the gurdwara, portrayed both simplicity and grandeur. Family members, including Pratibha Singh, Prithvi Vikram Sen (maternal uncle of the groom and BJP leader), and bride’s father Sr Advocate Jotinder Singh Sekhon, were seen accompanying the couple.
A Quiet Celebration at the Bride’s Home
The bride’s residence in Sector 2, Chandigarh, carried quiet signs of festivity. Floral decorations and lights adorned the gates, but the absence of large crowds and parked cars highlighted the family’s conscious choice to keep the event restricted to relatives and close acquaintances.
Who is Dr. Amreen Kaur Sekhon?
Dr. Amreen Kaur Sekhon is not only admired for her academic brilliance but also for her global exposure. She holds double master’s degrees in English and Psychology along with a PhD in Psychology. Her research work has also taken her to Harvard University, adding international credibility to her academic career. Currently, she serves as an Assistant Professor at Panjab University, Chandigarh.
She is the daughter of Sardar Jotinder Singh Sekhon and Opinder Kaur.
Vikramaditya Singh’s Second Marriage
This is Vikramaditya Singh’s second marriage. In 2019, he married Sudarshana Chundawat of Rajasthan’s Amet royal family. However, the marriage ended in divorce in late 2024.
At 34, Vikramaditya Singh carries a strong political legacy as the heir of Raja Virbhadra Singh, widely regarded as the tallest leader in Himachal’s political history. His personal life has often drawn public attention, and this wedding was no exception, even though conducted in a private setting.
Another Political Family Celebration
Interestingly, the same day also witnessed another significant family occasion in Himachal’s political circles. Dr. Aastha Agnihotri, daughter of Himachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri, got engaged to Sachin Sharma, a 2022-batch IAS officer currently posted as SDM Amb in Una district.
Mukesh Agnihotri shared the moment on X, remembering his late wife Prof. Simmi Agnihotri with affection. Sources confirmed that the wedding will take place on November 22 in Una, Himachal Pradesh.
The wedding of Vikramaditya Singh and Dr. Amreen Kaur Sekhon beautifully blended tradition, grace, and simplicity. While the couple opted for a private ceremony, their union has drawn wide attention across Himachal and Chandigarh, not only for its royal lineage but also for the academic achievements of the bride. Together, they now begin a new chapter that bridges politics, heritage, and academia.
