Tej Pratap Yadav with Aishwarya Rai
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad's elder son Tej Pratap Yadav, who filed for divorce in a Patna court, said he could not live with her anymore.
Tej Pratap, who decided to part ways with wife Aishwarya just six months after their marriage, filed for divorce from his wife Aishwarya Rai, daughter of senior RJD leader Chandrika Rai and granddaughter of former Chief Minister Daroga Rai, at the Patna High Court on Friday.
"Yes I have filed for divorce. I cannot live with her anymore," Tej Pratap told the media in Gaya district on the way to Ranchi, Jharkhand to meet his father who is undergoing treatment at a hospital after being jailed in the fodder scam. "I had told my parents that I did not wish to marry at this moment of time. But nobody listened to me. Ours was a mismatch. I am a simple man with simple habits while she is a modern woman, educated in Delhi and used to life in a metropolis," Tej Pratap said.
Tej Pratap's lawyer Yashwant Kumar Sharma has confirmed that a divorce petition has been filed.
In his petition, Tej Pratap argued that they have compatibility issues.
The court has fixed November 19 for hearing the petition.
Tej Pratap has filed for divorce under section 13 (1) (1a) of the Hindu Marriage Act. The court is likely to hear Tej Pratap's divorce petition on November 29.
Tej Pratap and Aishwarya tied the knot on May 12 in Patna. The wedding ceremony was attended by Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and other top leaders.
Aishwarya did her schooling from Bihar and has an MBA degree from Amity University, Noida.
