Suvra Mukherjee, the wife of President Pranab Mukherjee was present at Central Hall when the President addressed the joint session of Parliament. Obviously, she had a special seat. Suvra Mukherjee, who is an accomplished Rabindra Sangeet singer, was at times bored (as her expression suggested), and at other times, hapy to see her husband on the podium. President's bodyguards escorted her to her seat.
