What we know about Anushka Yadav – Tej Pratap Yadav's mystery ‘girlfriend' from his Facebook post
Anushka Yadav recently became the centre of a political and social media storm after former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav publicly claimed to be in a long-term relationship with her. The controversy erupted when a post appeared on Tej Pratap's verified Facebook account stating that he and Anushka had been 'in love and in a relationship for 12 years.' The post featured a photograph of the two together, sparking widespread attention and debate across social media platforms.
However, shortly after the post went viral, Tej Pratap Yadav claimed that his Facebook account had been hacked.
Lalu Prasad Yadav's elder son Tej Pratap latrer denied the authenticity of the Facebook post, stating on X (formerly Twitter), 'My social media platform was hacked and my photographs were edited wrongfully.' He further accused those behind the hack of attempting to 'defame and harass' him and his family. Despite his claims, the post had already triggered significant public scrutiny and political repercussions.
Anushka Yadav remains a largely private individual, with very limited information available publicly. Until Tej Pratap's recent revelation, her name rarely featured in media reports or political discussions.
Anushka Yadav is believed to originate from Bihar, and the two reportedly crossed paths over ten years ago.
Little is known about Anushka Yadav educational background or professional pursuits. Tej Pratap has acknowledged her as a key presence in his life in his now deleted Facebook post. An ABP report also claims that Anushka Yadav is the sister of Tej Pratap's close friend.
The report adds that this friend quit Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and has joined some othher political party.
Mint could not verify these claims.
Tej Pratap Yadav is married to Aishwarya Rai, the granddaughter of former Bihar chief minister Daroga Rai. The couple's marriage in 2018 was a high-profile affair.
However, their relationship soon became troubled, with Aishwarya leaving the marital home within months, alleging mistreatment by Tej Pratap and his family.
The ensuing legal battles have been highly publicised, with accusations and counter-accusations between the two.
Their divorce case is still pending in the Patna family court, adding to the ongoing drama surrounding Tej Pratap's personal life.
The controversial Facebook post, which has since been deleted, claimed that Tej Pratap Yadav and Anushka Yadav had been in a relationship for 12 years.
The caption read: 'I am Tej Pratap Yadav, and the person with me in this picture is Anushka Yadav. We have known and loved each other for the past 12 years. We've been in a relationship for all these years. I've wanted to share this with all of you for a long time but didn't know how to express it. Today, through this post, I am opening my heart to you all. I hope you understand me.'
This public revelation shocked many, especially given Tej Pratap's existing marriage and the ongoing legal disputes with Aishwarya Rai.
Following the uproar, Tej Pratap's assertion that his account was hacked did little to quell the controversy, leading to his expulsion from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) party by his father, Lalu Prasad Yadav, citing 'irresponsible conduct' and 'ignoring moral values.'

Elon Musk's Trump clash backfires; Tesla CEO's net worth takes massive hit, federal contracts under risk
Elon Musk's clash with President Donald Trump appears to have backfired on him. The 53-year-old, who accused the president of being ungrateful, lost $15 billion on Thursday, and his company Tesla's shares tumbled as much as 9% during trading hours. According to Forbes' real-time billionaires list, Musk is worth $399.5 billion, down 3.63%. Tesla slumped 8.9% amid Musk's criticism of Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill'. This comes after the president lashed out at his former ally on Thursday, saying he was 'disappointed' by the billionaire's opposition to the sweeping tax-cut and spending bill that is at the heart of his administration's agenda. 'Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore. He said the most beautiful things about me, and he hasn't said bad about me personally, but I'm sure that'll be next. But I'm, I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot,' he said. Meanwhile, Musk unleashed a series of responses on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.

I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!' the president wrote on Truth Social. 'Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!' he added.

Hungarian Newspaper Faces Backlash For Using Photos Of Women Without Consent
Last Updated: Hungary's Newspaper asked readers to share photos of women taken in public places like streets and subways in skirts. A Hungarian newspaper, Metropol, is facing strong criticism after it asked readers to send photos of women's legs seen through shorts and skirts. Their message, 'The shorter, the better," left many upset because their goal ignores women's privacy. This request led to protests outside the newspaper's office soon after multiple pictures were published. People gathered to demand an apology and resignation from the entire editorial team for their offensive campaign. Reportedly, the photos were taken in public places like streets and subways, without women's consent. As per the local news portal, HVG, the pro-government newspaper shared pictures of several women with the headline, 'The shorter, the better." Below, they mentioned, 'This statement is certainly true for fashion, if not for life span. But in the case of skirts and dresses worn by girls, it is certainly true with the beginning of summer." Close to 50 to 60 young people gathered outside the Metropol publisher's offices, Mediaworks, to protest against their campaign. They were angry and held signs with strong messages, saying that women should not be treated as objects and that taking photos without permission is not real journalism. Many shouted slogans to share their frustration and made it clear that they 'are not here to please you." Protestors even created a Facebook page to organise the protest. On that page, one young woman shared her experience of finding her photo in the newspaper without her knowledge. She wrote, 'Today I went to attend a graduation exam and I would not have thought that when I came out, I had entered the Metropol newspaper, without my consent, a photo I had taken of me was secretly used. I find it upsetting that some people are happy to be humiliated and ridiculed by young women, and in addition, this is supported by one of the most popular government party newspapers in the country, and even encourages its readers to illegally take photos of foreign people on the streets." 'I don't think it's up to anyone else what kind of clothes I wear, what clothes I feel complete and happy. I can understand if someone doesn't like my style, everyone has different tastes but no one has the right to share their opinion about it on any public media platforms," the woman added. Metropol has a history of publishing upsetting content. Earlier, they targeted homeless people by printing a 'beggar map.' Because of this, the National Media and Communications Authority's Media Council fined them in July 2021. The issue later went to court, where Mediaworks, the company behind the newspaper, argued that their content wasn't against the law. But the court disagreed. In the end, the media group lost the case and had to pay a fine.
