She was born in Delhi to a Italian-born Sonia and father Rajiv Gandhi. She is married to Robert Vadra and they have two children.
She attended Modern School in Delhi. She holds a degree in psychology from Delhi University
In the 2004 parliamentary elections, she was her mother's campaign manager and helped supervise her brother Rahul Gandhi's campaign. Notwithstanding, she has said: "I have said it a thousand times, I am not interested in joining politics..."
But very lately (June 2004), she has indicated that she will bear responsibilities in the Congress Party in the state of Uttar Pradesh, and this has also been reported in the media. In a recent campaign speaking to the BBC she said: "I am very clear in my mind. Politics is not a strong pull, the people are. And I can do things for them without being in politics". She makes regular trips to her mother's and brother's constituencies of Amethi and Rae Bareilly and deals with constituents.
There is a speculation that she might play a role in India Politics in future.
