And she spends any spare time she has between planning her next moves to move her party forward on a fascinating and enlightening read. Sonia enjoys a wide range of books.
3. Multilingual
Many people are unaware that Sonia is fluent in nine international languages, despite the fact that her Hindi accent is frequently criticized. Among them are French and German.
4. Saree Lover
Sonia adores handloom saris, especially those with traditional weaves. She wore a pink cotton sari woven by Nehru on her wedding day. For her wedding, Priyanka wore the same sari as her mother.
5. Follows Strict Diet
Despite the fact that she is a MasterChef when it comes to pasta, she stays away from it as much as possible. She also avoids noodles, pizzas, and any other junk food.

7. The Cleanliness Freak
The leader who is waging a ferocious campaign against Prime Minister Modi, too, is a neat freak. Sonia Gandhi believes that cleanliness is godliness, and she has been seen dusting her living room on her own, just like your and my mother.
8. Artistic Skills
It’s a shame we didn’t get to see Sonia Gandhi’s artistic side. Because she is so engrossed in political machinations, it’s safe to say she doesn’t have much time to explore that side of her personality. Mrs. Gandhi, on the other hand, has taken art restoration courses at the National Gallery of Modern Art.
