Sadhna Gupta Biography

Sadhna Gupta (also known as Sadhna Gupta Yadav) was an Indian homemaker from Bidhuna, Uttar Pradesh, best known as the second wife of Samajwadi Party chief

Early life and background

Sadhna Gupta was born in 1960 in Bidhuna, a town in Uttar Pradesh, India. She completed her intermediate education at Gajendra Singh Public Inter College in Uttar Pradesh. Her parents were Kamlapati Gupta and Hemlata Gupta. She belonged to the Other Backward Class (OBC) community and grew up in the Bidhuna area, which remained her hometown throughout her life.

Career

By profession Sadhna Gupta was described as a homemaker. Public attention around her increased because of her long association with Mulayam Singh Yadav, the founder of the Samajwadi Party, and her family connections through marriage. Although she reportedly expressed an interest in taking part in politics at one point, she said her husband declined that idea.

Personal life and family

Sadhna married Chandraprakash Gupta, a grocer from Farrukhabad, on 4 July 1986; that marriage ended in divorce in 1990. She later formed a relationship with Mulayam Singh Yadav and the two married in 2003. Mulayam Singh Yadav acknowledged Sadhna as his wife and Prateek Yadav as his son in affidavits by 2007. Prateek Yadav is Sadhna’s son from her first marriage and is active in politics. Her daughter-in-law Aparna Yadav is also involved in political life.

Sadhna was twenty years younger than Mulayam Singh Yadav. Her family included siblings Sachin Pati Gupta and the late Nitin Pati Gupta, and a sister named Kalpana Gupta. A brother-in-law, Promod Gupta, served one term as an MLA in Uttar Pradesh and later joined the Bharatiya Janata Party government in 2022.

Her relationship with Mulayam Singh Yadav attracted media attention and became a notable aspect of the Samajwadi family’s public story. Akhilesh Yadav, Mulayam’s son from his first marriage, recorded episodes from the 1980s in which Sadhna visited Mulayam’s household to assist during the illness of his mother, Murti Devi. Those accounts describe how Sadhna’s intervention during a medical incident contributed to the beginnings of her relationship with Mulayam.

Public profile

Sadhna Gupta’s life was largely defined in the public eye by her marriage into one of Uttar Pradesh’s most prominent political families. She sometimes spoke to media about family matters and her place within the household, including complaints about perceived slights and explanations of family dynamics. During election periods and internal party discussions she advocated for her son Prateek’s political ambitions. At least once she publicly said she would not tolerate humiliation toward her husband.

Her presence in the family also factored into selection and party decisions at times; reports described occasions when family influence and personal requests intersected with political ticket allocations and local party contests.

Death

Sadhna Gupta died on 9 July 2022 at Medanta Hospital in Gurgaon. She was 62. The reported cause of death was a lung infection. Her passing prompted public condolences, including a note from the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh.

Latest updates

In the years before her death Sadhna remained linked to the political activities of relatives and in-law connections. Her son Prateek and daughter-in-law Aparna were active in politics, and other family members continued to hold local political roles. Public commentary about her role in the family and occasional media statements kept her in the news until her death in 2022.
