A subject of numerous books and films, the love affair between Jawaharlal Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten was often discussed in the political circles. It was often said that Edwina and Lord Mountbatten did not have a great marriage and Edwina had countless affairs before meeting Nehru.Jawaharlal Nehru, on the other hand, was quite the charmer among the ladies. Their relationship, often described by Edwina as ‘platonic’, had come in for much scrutiny in those times. It has often been discussed that Lord Mountbatten found the relationship so deep that for the larger part, he simply ignored the affair. The affair ended with Lady Mountbatten’s death in 1960, and the most public declaration of love by Pandit Nehru. He sent his own Indian Navy frigate to cast a wreath into the waters on her behalf. This was one of the love affairs which was never covered by the media of India in the way media covers the love life of today’s celebrities.
