Divorce is on, Tej Pratap Yadav tells family court in Patna

November 30, 2018 09:55

The day-long buzz that Tej Pratap Yadav has scrapped his plan to divorce his wife of six months proved baseless on Thursday, as the elder son of veteran Bihar leader Lalu Yadav told a family court in Patna that he stands by the decision to part company with her.

The court has asked his wife, Aishwarya Rai, to appear before it on January 8.

The former Bihar minister who also dabbles in films has claimed that he and his wife are incompatible. "I'm North Pole and she's South Pole... I'm a simple man with simple habits, while she is a modern woman, educated in Delhi and used to life in a metro," he had told reporters.

Rai -- the daughter of six-time RJD lawmaker Chandrika Rai and granddaughter of former Bihar Chief Minister Daroga Rai - has studied history in Delhi University.

Barely six months after the wedding, Tej Pratap Yadav told the media that he had been forced into the wedding and felt "stifled".
