RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s elder son and former Bihar health minister Tej Pratap Yadav, who tied the knot with Aishwarya Rai on May 12 this year, filed a divorce petition before a court Friday, according to PTI. Aishwarya is the daughter of former transport minister Chandrika Rai and the granddaughter of former Bihar CM Daroga Rai.

“They couldn’t get along. An application under the Hindu Marriage Act was filed through me on behalf of Tej Pratap Yadav. I can’t say anything else at this moment,” ANI quoted Yashwant Kumar Sharma, Tej Pratap Yadav’s advocate as saying.

Tej Pratap had approached the court with a divorce petition a few days ago but it was turned down due to technical reasons. He again moved a fresh application on Friday which has been forwarded by the filing section for necessary action.
