Who is Reeta Chakrabarti married to? Meet Paul Hamilton
Reeta is married to Paul Hamilton. The couple lives in North London and have three children together.
Paul is on Twitter under the handle @PaulHamilton50.
While Reeta enjoys life in the media spotlight because of her career as a journalist, there’s not much information about Paul or his career.
And unlike Reeta, Paul is not an active Twitter user as his only tweet for this year is from May.
We weren’t able to find Paul’s Instagram account and it appears that Reeta doesn’t have a public Insta account either.
Reeta is praised by viewers
Viewers at home have praised Reeta for her work in the BBC documentary about her father-in-law Patrick.
One viewer reacted: “A fascinating story. With a surprise Aberdeen connection too. Thank you for sharing @reetacbbc. Although it’s hard to imagine today what your father in laws generation endured. Brave men.”
Another one said: “Really great piece on your father-in-law’s war @reetacbbc. I’m sure the Hamiltons are all very proud of him. I remember hearing so much about the war in Burma from my family in India and yet so little here. Important for that story to be told.”
