Another Gandhi scion, the most valuable and at the same time the most controversial family, Varun Gandhi is less famous than his cousins Rahul and Priyanka. But every news related to him makes headlines, nonetheless. Son of Sanjay and Maneka Gandhi, Varun was born in the same year (1980), his father died in an airplane crash. Soon his mother became an estranged daughter-in-law of the Indira Gandhi and has rebuilt herself on her own. That she joined the BJP therefore comes as no surprise. To her goes the credit of bringing up her son Varun Gandhi single-handedly.
