Subramanian Swamy makes explosive claims about former PM Vajpayee’s personal life in podcast
Says Vajpayee had romantic relationship with many including air hostesses
New Delhi: In a startling revelation, veteran BJP leader Dr. Subramanian Swamy has made sensational claims about the personal life of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee during a recent podcast interview with ex-Aaj Tak anchor Shubhankar Mishra. The podcast, titled Unplugged with Shubhankar, has already generated significant controversy due to Swamy’s explosive remarks.
During the interview, Swamy shed light on what he described as the "dark secrets" of Vajpayee’s life, particularly his relationships and personal affairs. Swamy, known for his outspoken nature, accused Vajpayee of leading a questionable personal life, alleging that despite his public image, he was involved in several relationships, including one with a Kashmiri woman during his student days in Gwalior.
Swamy claimed that Vajpayee’s father disapproved of his relationship with the Kashmiri woman, forcing him to relocate to Kanpur, where he was assigned as a Pracharak for the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The woman's life, according to Swamy, was “ruined” as her parents married her off to an elderly man.
Swamy went on to narrate that Vajpayee reconnected with the same woman years later when he was an MP, inviting her and her husband to live in his residence on Feroz Shah Road in Delhi. According to Swamy, Vajpayee kept her husband in the servant quarters while she lived with him. The woman, Mrs. Kaul, became a well-known figure in Vajpayee’s life, and Swamy alleged that Vajpayee’s daughter, Gunnu, was not actually the biological daughter of Mrs. Kaul’s husband.
In another shocking statement, Swamy also spoke about Vajpayee's romantic relationships with air hostesses, insinuating that the former prime minister had multiple affairs. “He had to say he was unmarried but not a virgin,” Swamy remarked, further adding, “He had it with so many people.”
Swamy’s remarks have stirred a hornet's nest, with many questioning the timing and veracity of these claims. While Vajpayee has long been revered as a towering figure in Indian politics, Swamy’s allegations about his personal life are likely to spark debate and controversy.
Mishra, the host of the podcast, briefly intervened during the interview, acknowledging that the stories about Vajpayee and Mrs. Kaul were well-known but left Swamy to continue sharing his account. Swamy even humorously suggested that the more sensitive parts of his revelations could be edited out of the podcast.
This is not the first time that Swamy has made bold claims about public figures, but the nature of these allegations about one of India’s most respected political leaders has left many in shock. Vajpayee, a key architect of modern Indian politics and the Bharatiya Janata Party, served as Prime Minister three times and remains a beloved figure across political lines.

India has agreed already to drop its tariffs to nothing: President Trump
New York/Washington, May 7 (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said India has “agreed” to drop its high tariffs “to nothing”.
“I mean, India as an example, has one of the highest tariffs in the world. We’re not going to put up with that, and they’ve agreed already to drop it. They’ll drop it to nothing. They’ve already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump and visiting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to reporters as they met in the Oval Office to discuss the US-Canada trade.
“So we’re going to put down some numbers and we’re going to say our country is open for business and they’re going to come in and they’re going to pay for the privilege of being able to shop in the United States of America. It’s very simple. It’s very simple,” he added.
In the past, Trump has called India “tariff king” and a “big abuser”.
Last month, Trump had said that negotiations with India over a bilateral trade deal are “coming along great” and he thinks “we’ll have a deal with India”.
