Prateek Yadav's Divorce Claims: Accusations Against Wife Aparna

In two posts on his verified Instagram handle - iamprateekyadav - Prateek Yadav described his wife Aparna as a "family destroyer" and accused her of being self-centred and driven by fame and influence. Aparna Yadav joined the BJP in March 2022 and campaigned for the party. She was appointed vice chairperson of the state's women's commission in September 2024. Aparna Yadav had contested the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections on an SP ticket from the Cantt seat in Lucknow but lost to Congress candidate Rita Bahuguna Joshi. “I am going to divorce this selfish woman as soon as possible. She ruined my family ties… All she wants to become is famous and influential,” Prateek wrote in one of his Instagram posts. He said his mental health condition has taken a hit due to her. “Right now, i am very bad mental health condition and she doesn't bother. Because it's only herself she bothers about. I have never seen such a bad soul, and i was unfortunate to get married to her,” he said. In another post from the same account, Prateek Yadav wrote, “Broke my relationship with my mother, broke my relationship with my father, broke my relationship with my brother. Wants to by only famous.”
