Inter-faith couples
Looking from the family backgrounds, it appears that Raihan and Aviva too will be an inter-faith couple like their parents. Priyanka Gandhi's father, former Indian Prime Ministr, Rajiv Gandhi, was a Hindu, her mother Sonia Gandhi and husband Robert Vadra are Christians.
Aviva's father Imran Baig is a Muslim whereas her mother, Nandita Kathpalia, appears to be coming from a Hindu family background, but at present follows Islam.
Interestingly, the names Aviva and Raihan too have interesting multi-faith characteristics.
Raihan is a popular name among Muslims, primarily of Arabic origin, meaning "fragrant herb," "sweet basil," or "pleasant smell," often linked to the beautiful plants in paradise and used in Muslim cultures.
Aviva is a beautiful Hebrew name for girls meaning "spring," "springtime," or "dewy/fresh," symbolizing renewal, vitality, and new beginnings, related to the Hebrew word "aviv". It's a vibrant, energetic name, often associated with Jewish culture.
