her brother late Madhao Rao Scindia decided to be with Congress because of his

with the Indian Government.

of her marital life forced her to return back to India where her mother
persuaded her to join politics.

Jivajirao and
Vijayaraje Scindia had four daughters and one son. Unfortunately, the only son –
Madhao Rao – was a victim of plane crash which abruptly ended his life. Their two
daughters are well settled with family. The remaining two are quite well known
BJP politicians. But, these two have also their unfortunate share of marital
lives. Vasundhara Raje divorced her husband Hemant Singh, the king of Dholpur,
just one year after getting married. Yasodhara also did the same, albeit she
remained in relationship for quite long duration.

The marital life of Yashodhara Raje Scindia started to get into trouble after the birth of Trishala. The exact reason is unknown. In early 1990s they decided to get separated. The divorced was completed in 1994 and Yashodhara Raje Scindia returned to India. She came all alone without any of her children. She was completely broken. In India, her mother Vijaya Raje convinced her to enter politics and get involved in social work. She did the same and in no time has become a member and a prominent member of MP BJP. There is no denying that the main reason behind her quick success in the world of Politics is her being a member of Scindia royal family.
It should also
be mentioned here that Abishek Bhansali was sentenced for four years in 2011
when he was found guilty of negligent homicide. He was completely drunk and
driving the car. An accident happened in which a person was killed. Yashodhara
went to the USA for the case and remained with family for few months. It is
also said that the then Manmohan Singh government helped the family in making
sure that Abhishek is charged with negligent homicide from vehicular homicide. That
is how he was sentenced for only 4 years.
