Akhilesh Yadav
is the young and maverick Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. Being at the helm of
the biggest state of India for five years without getting implicated in any
scam and corruption charges is not a small deal. However, it should also be not
ignored that he was not able to check ascending crime graph in UP. Now, when
Mulayam has expelled him from party, he expected to become all the more
powerful because of the sympathy he seems to be getting from youngsters. In this
political and family battle, there lies a sweet and successful love story. That
is of Akhilesh and Dimple Yadav.
How Akhilesh Met Dimple Yadav
Akhilesh and
Dimple met for the first time at a party organized by a common friend in 1995.
Akhilesh had just returned from Mysore after completing engineering. He was
planning to go to Australia for PG. He had no plans of entering into the world
of politics. On the other side, Dimple who was only 17 at that time was a
bubbly girl with lovely face and amazing physical features. Akhilesh fell in
love with Dimple at that party itself. Dimple was also showing interest for
him. In a short span of time, they became close friends.
When Akhilesh
went to Sydney for higher education, he remained in touch with Dimple. Dimple was
not having any mobile phone and it was risky to call on the land line number.
Akhilesh found a way and started to write letters to her. He used to post
letter to a friend from where Dimple was supposed to collect.
When Akhilesh
returned from Australia, he started to take Dimple for date. Mulayam who was
already in a secret relationship with Sadhana Gupta somehow came to know about
their relationship. He got worried as Dimple was from a different caste –
Thakur – and the entire caste was not happy with Mulayam Singh. Dimple is the daughter
of a Retired Lt. General who belongs to Uttarakhand (at that time, Uttarakhand
was part of UP).
It was quite
tough for Akhilesh to convince his father. He took support of grandmother
without much success. At that time, it was Amar Singh who helped the couple to
get united. Amar Singh not only ensured the approval of Mulayam Singh Yadav,
but also placated the families and relatives of Dimple Singh Rawat who were
also against this union.
Some other
Thakur leaders of Samajwadi Party came forward to make it possible.
In the end,
Akhilesh Yadav and Dimple got married on 24th November, 1999. The
couple has now three children. It is quite unfortunate that Akhilesh has given
the worst kind of treatment to Amar Singh who was the man behind the success of
his love story with Dimple. You can hate Amar Singh, but you can’t ignore his
ability to befriend anyone.
