Prateek Yadav's Divorce Post Triggers Political And Family Storm: 'Ruined My Family Ties'

A new and sensitive family dispute has come into public view within the family of late Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav. His son, Prateek Yadav, has announced that he is seeking a divorce from his wife, Aparna Yadav. The announcement was made through a social media post, which has since gone viral and sparked wide discussion across political and social circles.

This is the first time Prateek Yadav has openly spoken about ending his marriage. The issue has drawn strong attention because of the family's political background and the different political paths taken by Prateek and Aparna.

Instagram post brings private pain into public space

Prateek Yadav shared a deeply personal message on Instagram, where he made several serious allegations against Aparna Yadav. In the post, he claimed that she had“ruined” his family relationships and accused her of being more focused on fame, publicity, and influence.

He also wrote about his own mental health, saying that he has been going through a very difficult phase in life. According to Prateek, his wife showed no concern for his emotional condition and“only bothers about herself.”

In a strongly worded statement, Prateek described Aparna as a“bad soul” and said he felt unfortunate to have married her. These statements reflect only Prateek Yadav's personal claims.

No response from Aparna Yadav so far

As of now, Aparna Yadav has not issued any public response to the allegations made by her husband. There has also been no official confirmation about whether legal divorce proceedings have already been filed in court.

Because of the lack of response from Aparna's side, many details remain unclear. Supporters and critics from both political camps are closely watching for her reaction, while legal experts say that social media statements do not replace formal legal steps.

Marriage and political contrast

Prateek Yadav and Aparna Yadav were married in 2019. Their marriage had attracted attention from the start because of their family and political connections.

Prateek is part of the Yadav family that leads the Samajwadi Party, while Aparna Yadav is associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Aparna has contested Assembly elections and is active in politics and social media.

Prateek has now alleged that Aparna's political ambitions and public presence caused tension within the family and damaged personal relationships. He claimed that her interest in publicity strained the harmony of the household.

Viral post sparks debate and reactions

The Instagram post quickly went viral, with many people sharing and commenting on it. Some expressed sympathy for Prateek's mental health struggles, while others criticised him for making private family matters public.

The statement“I have never seen such a bad soul” became one of the most discussed lines from the post. The situation has once again shown how personal conflicts, when shared online, can quickly turn into public debates.

Earlier signs of differences

Reports of differences between Prateek and Aparna had surfaced earlier, but none were officially confirmed. Until now, both had largely stayed silent about their personal life.

This public announcement marks a clear shift and brings the internal family discord into the open. It has also added a new chapter to the ongoing public interest in the Yadav family.

Who is Prateek Yadav?

Prateek Yadav is the son of Mulayam Singh Yadav and his second wife, Sadhana Gupta. Despite belonging to one of Uttar Pradesh's most influential political families, Prateek chose not to enter active politics.

His statement has once again raised questions about mental health, emotional support in marriages, and the pressure faced by people in public families.

Aparna Yadav's brother denies divorce post, claims account was hacked

Aparna Yadav's brother has rejected Prateek Yadav's divorce announcement and claimed that the Instagram post was not shared by Prateek himself. Speaking to News18, he said Prateek Yadav's Instagram account had been hacked and the post was fake. 

According to him, Prateek never made any public statement about seeking a divorce. He added that the family was surprised by the post and does not accept its claims. The clarification came after Prateek's account carried allegations against Aparna Yadav, accusing her of damaging family relationships and stating that he planned to divorce her.
