Tej Pratap and Aishwarya got married in Patna on May 14 this year. On November 2, Tej Pratap filed for a divorce from Aishwarya citing "compatibility issues". He had not returned home after he visited his father in Ranchi and spoke to him regarding his decision to divorce his wife.

He has reportedly been in Uttar Pradesh and has threatened that he won't return home unless his parents supported his decision. In the past few months after his marriage, Tej Pratap reportedly spent a number of days in Vrindavan, where he was reportedly seen playing the flute with a peacock feather tied to his head in the midst of a herd of cows.
