EXCLUSIVE: 'I never wanted to marry, but kept my parents wishes': Tej Pratap Yadav makes stunning revelations on his marriage with Aishwarya Rai

Having earlier stated that he is living a 'suffocating' life, Lalu Prasad Yadav's elder son Tej Pratap Yadav has followed up on his desire to quit marriage by making some stunning revelations in an exclusive to Republic TV, stating that he never intended to marry Aishwarya Rai at the first place, but had to do so due to the wishes of his parents.

Speaking to Republic TV's senior editor Prakash Singh while he was on the way to hospital to visit his father, the RJD leader stated that his wife was from 'high society', and the forced marriage between the two did not have any 'compatibility'. 

"Aishwarya is from a high society, and I was forcefully married to her. There is no compatibility between us. When there was a fight between us, Aishwarya was the one who told me get divorced. I never wanted to marry her as I am a religious person. But on the wishes of my parents, I married her. My sister's had also asked me to not marry, but I was forced to. I even told my father that there was no compatibility between us, but no one heard me. I am North pole, she is South pole," claimed Tej Pratap.

The former Health minister of Bihar also mentioned that the decision to file divorce petition was well thought, and he will not listen to anyone, even his father Lalu Prasad Yadav.

"I have taken this decision in full conscience and have filed the petition. The arrow is out of the bow now, I will not budge. I will not listen to my father who I am going to meet. Even if the Prime Minister says, I won't back down. I know everyone is after me. I have even told Tejashwi that my compatibility with Aishwarya is not there at all. She studied in from Miranda House and Amity in Delhi while I studied at Patna University. I am religious person, and I go to Vrindavan always," he added.

Tej Pratap also stated that there are forces within the party, close to Tejashwi and other members of his family, who are trying to marginalize him and trying to gain political mileage from his situation. He further added,

"People surrounding Tejashwi, Rabri and Lalu Yadav have always tried to marginalize me. People like Om Prakash Nagmani, surrounding Tejashwi have always tried to belittle me. People have made me a scapegoat to take political mileage."

The elder son of Lalu Yadav had on Friday filed divorce petition. The two got married earlier this year in May, but following some heated arguments, the RJD leader decided to call off the marriage.
