1. Before entering politics, ‘Netaji' Mulayam Singh Yadav was famous as a ‘pehelwan' or body builder. His supporters called him so. Later his younger son Prateek, who was born through his second wife Sadhna Yadav made a mark as a body builder.
Prateek was featured in an internationally acclaimed body building website as "the international transformation of the month" in September 2012.
He once explained tips given by his father to maintain fitness. "Papa has his own way of explaining fitness: a man's chest should be the thing thrust out, not his belly, he says. And one should never entirely satisfy one's hunger, one should eat just a wee bit less. Those are his tips," says Prateek.
