- In 2017, Sadhna Gupta was seen supporting her son Prateek Yadav on several news channels.

Sadhna Gupta also said in the same discussion that Mulayam Singh never made any difference between Akhilesh Yadav and him. He mentioned,
He has been misled by some people, otherwise he would not have done what he did. I feel bad because of what happened in the family. A chief secretary was transferred and people said I was behind it. “That is a lie, though I wish I were so powerful.”
