According to MO Mathai's book Reminiscences of the Nehru Age, just a day before Indira Gandhi was about to turn 16, Feroze Gandhi made a love proposal to Indira Gandhi and expressed her desire to marry. According to journalist Nikhil Chakraborty, Feroze was immediately attracted to beautiful women. Feroze Gandhi had affairs with many women in London too, but Indira remained unaware of this.
In the book Indira: The Life of Indira Nehru Gandhi, Catherine Frank writes that Indira and Feroze had already married. Not only this, even before marriage, she started living like a husband and wife. When Indira Gandhi told her Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru that she loved Feroze Gandhi, and wanted to marry him, Nehru was very angry. Despite this, the marriage of Indira and Feroze Gandhi took place.
After marriage, there was a rift between Feroze Gandhi and Indira. At the time when Indira was pregnant and Rajiv Gandhi was still in the womb, Indira was aware that Feroze's affair was going on with another woman. The news of Feroze's affair with not one but many women reached Indira's ears. Unhappy with Feroze's infidelity, Indira began to distance herself from her husband.
Catherine Frank writes that Feroze's eating and drinking had no boundaries. Despite marrying Indira, he had relationships with many beautiful women. Parliament's glamor girl Tarkeshwari Sinha, apart from Mahmuna Sultan, had a romantic relationship with Feroze Gandhi with MP Subhadra Joshi.
