Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s eldest son Tej Pratap Yadav has filed for divorce from wife Aishwarya Rai, less than six months after getting married.
Tej Pratap reportedly filed for divorce in a Patna court on Friday, 2 November.
Yashwant Kumar Sharma, Tej Pratap's advocate, said the couple couldn't get along.

Rai’s father Chandrika Rai was a former RJD leader and a minister in the Bihar cabinet.
Tej Pratap had married Rai in a grand ceremony earlier this year on 2 May.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, then governor Satya Pal Malik and Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan had attended the wedding, along with Lalu Yadav, who was out on parole to attend the ceremony.
