Page "Rajiv Gandhi" Paragraph 15

Rajiv began working for Indian Airlines as a professional pilot while his mother became Prime Minister in 1966.

He exhibited no interest in politics and did not live regularly with his mother in Delhi at the Prime Minister's residence.

In 1970, his wife gave birth to their first child Rahul Gandhi, and in 1972, to Priyanka Gandhi, their second.

Even as Rajiv remained aloof from politics, his younger brother Sanjay became a close advisor to their mother.
