KKN Gurugram Desk | In a heartwarming and celebratory moment for one of India’s most well-known political families, Leader of Opposition in Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav, welcomed his newborn son Iraaj home with great pomp and affection. A video from the celebration, shared by his sister and Rajya Sabha MP Misa Bharti, has gone viral on social media, delighting followers of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and netizens across the country.
A Joyous Occasion in the Yadav Household
Just days after welcoming their second child, Tejashwi Yadav and wife Rajshri Yadav brought baby Iraaj home, where the entire Lalu Prasad Yadav family joined in to celebrate. The video shared online captures a visibly emotional and festive atmosphere as the family came together to shower blessings on the newest member.
The video is accompanied by the soul-stirring track ‘Ae Lallana, Hind Ke Sitara,’ evoking patriotic pride and emotional depth. As the car carrying Tejashwi, Rajshri, and Iraaj arrives, the family home is seen decked out with decorations, smiles, and traditional music echoing in the background.
Who is Iraaj? The Meaning Behind the Name
Tejashwi Yadav and Rajshri have named their son ‘Iraaj’, a name that blends traditional charm with modern appeal. While the family hasn’t formally explained the meaning, linguistically, Iraaj can imply brightness, blessing, or royal dignity, depending on cultural interpretation.
The name adds a poetic depth, fitting for the legacy he’s born into—being the grandson of Lalu Prasad Yadav, one of Bihar’s most influential political leaders, and son of Tejashwi Yadav, the current torchbearer of RJD in Bihar politics.
Misa Bharti’s Emotional Note
Sharing the moment with her followers, Misa Bharti expressed heartfelt joy in her Instagram post:
“Aaj aspatal se Iraaj aur Rajshri ke sukhad ghar wapsi ke kshan. Iraaj ne ghar ki raunak aur badha di hai. Tumhari bua ka tumko dher saara pyaar aur dular, ‘Iraaj’.”
This public display of affection resonated with supporters and political watchers alike, as it showed the softer, more personal side of the often-fierce political family.
A Political Family Grounded in Tradition
The Yadav family is no stranger to public interest. From Lalu Prasad Yadav’s dramatic political journey to Rabri Devi’s tenure as Bihar’s chief minister, the family’s personal milestones are often celebrated by supporters just as fervently as their political victories.
With Iraaj’s birth, the family once again becomes a symbol of Bihar’s socio-political legacy—where personal life, tradition, and politics often intersect.
Second Child for Tejashwi and Rajshri
This is the second child for Tejashwi and Rajshri Yadav, who got married in December 2021. The couple already has a daughter, and the family has largely kept their personal life low-profile, only sharing rare glimpses during significant events like this one.
Supporters recall how Tejashwi always emphasized family values, often referencing his upbringing and his mother Rabri Devi’s role during his political speeches. This newest addition only adds to the depth of his public persona.
Viral Moment on Social Media
Within hours of Misa Bharti’s post, the video of baby Iraaj’s grand welcome was shared across platforms like Twitter (X), Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, trending with hashtags like #WelcomeIraaj, #TejashwiYadav, #LaluFamilyCelebration.
Well-wishers from across political parties, including leaders from JD(U), Congress, and even BJP, congratulated Tejashwi and Rajshri on social media, highlighting the pan-political goodwill towards the personal happiness of political rivals.
About the Background Song: ‘Ae Lallana, Hind Ke Sitara’
The song ‘Ae Lallana, Hind Ke Sitara’ has deep cultural and emotional roots. Its inclusion in the video resonated especially with Bihari audiences, emphasizing national pride, emotional bonding, and cultural heritage. The song’s message, when juxtaposed with Iraaj’s welcome, underlines the emotional significance of the moment.
Bipartisan Celebrations and Public Goodwill
Even leaders from rival political camps were seen wishing the Yadav family. Political analysts believe moments like these humanize politicians, bridging gaps between parties and creating rare bipartisan camaraderie in an otherwise divided political landscape.
Tejashwi’s Growing Influence in Bihar
Even as Tejashwi celebrates fatherhood, his political stature in Bihar continues to grow. With the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections approaching, and a strengthening INDIA alliance, many see Tejashwi as a formidable candidate for future leadership. This personal milestone, celebrated widely, may also lend him emotional capital among voters.
Public Sentiment and Cultural Reflection
From a media perspective, events like these serve not only as news but also as cultural markers—showcasing the evolution of political dynasties, the merging of personal and political life, and the ways families in the public eye adapt to modern platforms like Instagram and X to communicate joy.
The emotional tone of Misa Bharti’s post and the aesthetics of the welcome video reflect how millennial politicians are reshaping public narratives through personal storytelling.
The grand welcome of baby Iraaj marks more than just the birth of a child—it symbolizes the continuation of a political and cultural legacy. With blessings pouring in from across India and the political spectrum, the moment is historic not just for the Yadav family but for the emotional imagination of Bihar’s people.
Whether baby Iraaj follows in the footsteps of his grandfather and father into politics remains to be seen. But for now, he is celebrated as the newest “sitara” (star) of Hind, just as the background song declared.
