From Young Political Heir to Growing Family Man: Tejashwi Shares First Glimpse of His Newborn Son on Social Media
Wife Rajshree Admitted in Kolkata Hospital as RJD Leaders Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi Rush to Visit Daughter-in-Law; Sister Rohini Acharya Sends Warm Wishes to “Junior Tutu”
Tejashwi Yadav, the prominent Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and chairman of the INDIA bloc’s coordination committee, has stepped into fatherhood for the second time. On Monday, he announced the arrival of his newborn son with a heartwarming photograph posted on X (formerly Twitter), captioned with spiritual gratitude and paternal joy: “Finally, the wait is over. Very happy to welcome a little baby into our home. Jai Hanuman.”
The announcement has since flooded social media with congratulatory messages and familial warmth. His sister, Rohini Acharya, joined in the celebration by sharing the baby’s photo and affectionately writing, “Lots of love to Junior Tutu.” The nickname has already gained traction among RJD supporters and well-wishers online.
A Family Affair: Parents and Leaders Alike Join in Celebration
Currently, Tejashwi’s wife Rajshree Yadav is admitted to a hospital in Kolkata, where she delivered the baby. Her in-laws, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav and former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi, traveled to Kolkata on May 26 to be by her side, marking a moment of both personal and political unity for the Yadav family.
From Katyayani to Junior Tutu: A Growing Political Dynasty’s Next Generation
This is the second child for Tejashwi and Rajshree, who were blessed with their firstborn—a daughter—in March 2023. The girl was named Katyayani by Lalu Prasad Yadav himself, drawing from Hindu tradition. Her birth was widely celebrated across Bihar, often seen as a personal highlight in the young leader’s timeline amidst his rising political career.
Love Beyond Politics: The Journey from Classmates to Life Partners
Tejashwi married Rajshree (formerly Rachel) on December 9, 2021, in an intimate ceremony held at the farmhouse of his sister, Misa Bharti, in Delhi’s Saket area. The love story of the couple dates back to their school days at Delhi Public School, R.K. Puram. Though they grew close around 2014, it wasn’t until years later that their relationship culminated in marriage.
However, the union didn’t come without its share of challenges. Sources close to the family suggest that convincing his parents—especially RJD patriarch Lalu Yadav—was a delicate process. The reluctance led to a restricted guest list, with many relatives and party loyalists not being invited to the wedding.

Rajshree, born Rachel, hails from Haryana and is the daughter of a businessman based in Chandigarh. While she maintains a private life away from the political limelight, she has occasionally been seen in family celebrations, including Christmas last year when the couple shared photos with their daughter.
