Tej Pratap Yadav, elder son of Lalu Prasad Yadav and president of the Jan Shakti Janata Dal, has made fresh claims about his failed marriage to Aishwarya Rai in the reality show Rise and Fall 2. He said he married under pressure in May 2018 when he was Bihar’s health minister, but the couple began fighting within three months.
Tej Pratap alleged that Aishwarya would party until 4 am, smoke, prevent him from leaving home or worshipping, and was chatting with an old boyfriend, sending ‘I love you’ and heart emojis. He said he secretly recorded arguments as evidence for the divorce court. Bhaskar.com also reported Tej Pratap’s claim that Aishwarya had hit his mother Rabri Devi. Aajtak.in did not carry that charge. Aishwarya has previously accused Tej Pratap and Rabri Devi of assault. The divorce case remains pending in court.
The two outlets report the same reality-show revelations identically on every key allegation, ex-wife Aishwarya Rai partying through the night, smoking, chatting with a former boyfriend, and the marriage breaking down within months, making this uniform straight coverage. Bhaskar.com adds the specific detail of a purported assault on Tejashwi’s mother Rabri Devi, attributed to Aishwarya by Tejashwi, which Aajtak.in omits. A balanced reader would note that the core divorce story is consistent across both, while Bhaskar.com’s extra charge remains uncorroborated by independent evidence. The next formal step is the ongoing divorce case in court, which neither outlet dates.
