Tej Pratap Yadav Joins ‘Bhojpuri Bawaal’
The spotlight now shines on Tej Pratap Yadav as he joins the cast of ‘Bhojpuri Bawaal’, a reality show that showcases the lives of popular personalities. Once a Bihar minister, Tej Pratap has become quite a sensation on social media, connecting with fans beyond his political career.
As the eldest son of veteran politician Lalu Prasad Yadav, Tej Pratap embraces a diverse identity. Known affectionately as “Teju Bhaiya,” he seems to wear many hats. From being the guy who loves shopping at malls and driving fancy cars, to sharing thoughtful spiritual messages online, he presents a vibrant and multifaceted persona. He even dabbles in ghost-hunting, exploring spooky corners of his backyard!
Upcoming episodes of ‘Bhojpuri Bawaal’ will feature a mix of other stars, including famous singers and actors like Pawan Singh and Amrapali Dubey. The show promises straightforward, unscripted reality without tasks or taglines, simply following participants through their everyday lives. In promotional clips, Tej Pratap is seen enjoying the limelight, sitting on an elaborate chair with the caption, “Coming to collect people’s love, to entertain with no limits.”
Currently, Tej Pratap is navigating a new path after being expelled from his father’s party, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). The family’s disapproval of his personal life led to this split, though there have been efforts to mend fences.
Despite his political struggles, Tej Pratap’s social media following has soared to over 3 million across various platforms—far exceeding the 35,000 votes he received in the last elections. He enjoys sharing authentic glimpses of his life through vlogs, stating, “People enjoy this real, simple version of me.”
In March 2026, he launched a new Instagram page featuring spiritual content, a continuation of his digital journey that started about eight years ago. Mixing personal and political elements, he recently called for a potential alliance with the ruling BJP while promoting his vlogs, where he claims people no longer watch traditional media.
With around 1.7 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), his social media presence remains strong. However, most of his posts focus on everyday life rather than politics. His Youtube channels give fans an unscripted look into his world, highlighting everything from family traditions to food reviews.
In one of his videos, he jovially interacts with a local ice cream vendor, showcasing his personality while enjoying summer treats. He even humorously demands that the vendor bring an entire cart to his house, demonstrating his charismatic interaction with fans.
Tej Pratap’s storytelling often leads him back to his roots, reminiscent of childhood memories and family values. Recently, he shared touching sentiments about his home village, emphasizing the connection to his past.
His commitment to spirituality hasn’t waned; his new @santtejpratapyadav handle showcases religious content, a facet he has embraced publicly for years. Dressing as Lord Krishna or Shiva during public events, he melds spirituality with his persona seamlessly.
As his brother Tejashwi takes the political reins, Tej Pratap has carved out his own niche. Dressed in saffron robes and covered in sacred ash, he offers deep insights about life and material possessions, honing in on a message of humility and spirituality.
As ‘Bhojpuri Bawaal’ airs, audiences can expect Tej Pratap’s vibrant personality and multifaceted life to unfold in real time.
