New Delhi, May 13: Pratik Yadav, the stepson of former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav, passed away on Wednesday morning at a civil hospital in Lucknow. He was just 38 years old. His death has sent shockwaves through both political and social circles. Pratik was a prominent figure in the Yadav family, known for distancing himself from politics to carve out his own identity.
Pratik was the son of Mulayam Singh Yadav’s second wife, Sadhana Gupta. Sadhana was previously married to Chandraprakash Gupta, with whom she had Pratik. After publicly acknowledging his relationship with Sadhana, Pratik gained media attention. Despite his political lineage, he never ventured into active politics, consistently avoiding political statements and public controversies.
His love story began in school, where he fell for Aparna Yadav. They were in a relationship for eight years before marrying in 2011. Their first meeting occurred at a friend’s birthday party, leading to an exchange of emails that deepened their bond. The couple has two daughters, and Aparna is politically active, known for her stance on social issues.
Pratik Yadav was educated in the United Kingdom and was involved in the real estate business. He had a passion for luxury cars and owned an impressive collection. Despite his interests, he preferred to stay out of the limelight.
He was recognized as a fitness enthusiast and a successful entrepreneur. In Lucknow, he owned a gym named ‘The Fitness Planet,’ which was quite popular among the youth. His dedication to fitness was evident on social media, where he frequently shared photos and videos related to his workouts and lifestyle.
Beyond fitness and business, Pratik was also known for his love for animals. He founded an organization called ‘Jeev Aashray,’ dedicated to rescuing, treating, feeding, and caring for street dogs. His organization was actively involved in helping injured and abandoned animals in Lucknow and surrounding areas.
While the Yadav family has always been a focal point in Uttar Pradesh politics, Pratik Yadav established his identity outside of it. Through fitness, business, and social work, he created a distinct image among the people. His passing has left a profound sense of grief among family, close friends, and supporters.
