Tej Pratap Yadav withdraws divorce petition filed against wife Aishwarya Rai

Tej Pratap Yadav withdrew the divorce petition that he had filed against his wife Aishwarya Rai on Thursday, November 29. He had filed the divorce petition before a court on November 3. They both had been married for six months.

He had left his home a day after filling the plea and hasn’t returned since because his family didn’t support his decision. The divorce plea came as a surprise to his friends and family. His family has been attempting to persuade him into patch things up with Aishwarya Rai.

“Our differences are irreconcilable. I had said this to my parents before the marriage was solemnised. But nobody listened to me then and nobody is listening to me now,” said the former Bihar minister.

Tej Pratap and his lawyer cited had cited “compatibility issues”.

Tej Pratap in his media interaction said that he had married Aishwarya Rai in May 2018 but he had only done it because he was being pressured by his family. He stated that he could not adjust with her because she came from a different background.

Aishwarya Rai is the daughter of Rashtriya Janata Dal legislator Chandrika Rai and grandchild of former Bihar chief minister Daroga Prasad Rai and is a management graduate unlike her high school dropout husband.

This news is reported to have devastated the Lalu Yadav family. Rabri Devi had quickly had declared that she would not celebrate Chhath, Bihar’s most popular festival that she had celebrated even when she was the chief minister of Bihar in the late 90s and early 2000s.

He had earlier stated that he would not go back on his decision stating that the “Arrow” had been shot and he wouldn’t change his decision even if the PM intervened.
