IMAGE: Despite her Goan sounding surname, Rachel is a native of Haryana and her dad is said to have retired as a school principal.
IMAGE: Rachel worked as an air hostess for some years and will be known as Rajeshwari Yadav hereon..
IMAGE: Tejashwi's parents Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi have 11 children and all his siblings were married before him.
It is possible that Rabri and Laloo were resistant to him marrying Rachel, and for the politician, who almost defeated the BJP-JD-U in the 2020 Bihar election, persuading his parents to finally okay the match must have taken some time.
