The rough-and-tumble of politics may have made Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis appear a hard-nosed leader, but according to his wife, deep inside he is a romantic and emotional person.

Amruta Fadnavis, a professional banker herself, shared nuggets of her personal life in a candid chat with actor Riteish Deshmukh at an event here and also broke into a popular Hindi romantic song with her smiling husband by her side, much to the delight of the audience.

The event was organised by the Lokmat group Wednesday night.

Asked whether Devendra Fadnavis (48), the first BJP chief minister of Maharashtra, is a romantic person at heart, Amruta was forthright in her reply.

"He (Devendra) never notices what I wear or how my hairstyle is...or whether I have lost or gained weight. He is so engrossed loving me that he can not differentiate the changes in me...and therefore, I think he is very romantic person.

"And the most romantic thing which he has given to me ...is my daughter Divija," said Amruta, who is also a singer.
