Tej Pratap Yadav opens up about troubled marriage on reality show
Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, has spoken about his troubled marriage to Aishwarya Rai and their ongoing divorce proceedings on the streaming reality show ‘Rise and Fall 2’. He alleged that within three months of their May 2018 wedding, the couple began arguing frequently, and he claimed the marriage took place under pressure.
Indian Express reports Tej Pratap said he secretly recorded their arguments and submitted the videos as evidence in court. Mathrubhumi quotes him saying, ‘Boys are not always wrong. Girls are also wrong.’ The divorce petition, filed in November 2018 on grounds of cruelty, remains unresolved in a Patna family court. Tej Pratap’s exit from the show, reportedly due to political and legal commitments, is set to air on 12 October.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Indian Express and Mathrubhumi report the same core allegations from Tej Pratap’s appearance on ‘Rise and Fall 2’, including his claims of seeing his wife exchange affectionate messages with a former boyfriend and recording arguments for court. The coverage is uniform straight reporting of his statements, with no independent verification or comment from Aishwarya Rai. Neither outlet adds its own framing or editorial judgement. The story remains entirely within Tej Pratap’s account, leaving the unresolved divorce case in the Patna family court as the only concrete open point.
