Born in a small village near Vicenza, Italy, Gandhi was raised in a Roman Catholic Christian Family After completing her primary education at local schools, she moved to Cambridge for higher education and married Rajiv Gandhi in 1968. She later took up Indian citizenship and began living with her mother-in-law, the then-Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, at the latter's New Delhi residence. Sonia Gandhi, however, continued to stay away from the public sphere, even during the years of her husband's premiership
Rumour has it that Sonia was working as a part time waitress in the London restaurant Albina Maino when Rajiv Gandhi walked in with his friends. Little did he know that he would be meeting the woman of his dreams. Apparently it was love at first sight for both!
