Lucknow: Amidst the ongoing debate surrounding the relationship between Samajwadi family daughter-in-law and BJP leader Aparna Yadav and Mulayam Singh Yadav's younger son, Prateek Yadav, the entire matter is now in the headlines.

Aparna Yadav and Prateek divorce sparks sensation: The real reason behind the fallout
The initial years of marriage were normal, but differences gradually began to emerge. According to Prateek Yadav, tensions in family relationships increased over time. He alleges that Aparna Yadav's behavior was insensitive towards the family, affecting internal relationships within the family.
Sources indicate that the balance between family expectations and personal ambitions began to deteriorate, leading to a strain in the relationship.
The rift in the relationship deepened when Aparna Yadav entered active politics. First, while in the Samajwadi Party and then after joining the BJP in 2022, her public life changed significantly.
Unease grew within the family about this. Those close to Prateek Yadav say that political activities and public statements put pressure on personal relationships.

Over the years, Aparna Yadav has been embroiled in numerous controversies. Statements related to reservations, political camp shifts, and recent controversies have consistently made headlines. These events also impacted her personal life. Prateek claims that these controversies increased his mental stress.
The crucial question now is whether this relationship broke down due to personal differences or whether it was weakened by the pressure of politics and controversies. Prateek Yadav's allegations are one-sided, while no formal response has yet been issued by Aparna Yadav.
For now, the journey from the 2011 royal wedding to the 2026 divorce announcement has become a story of the clash between political and personal life.
