Rahul Mahajan (Marathi: राहुल महाजन) is an Indian reality show entertainer.
He first came into the news when his father Pramod Mahajan was shot by Pravin Mahajan, Rahul Mahajan's uncle. His father died twelve days later from his wounds. Television footage showed him comforting his sister and mother and maintaining a stoic demeanour. There were rumours that Mahajan would be inducted into the BJP to follow his father's footsteps. Pramod Mahajan was very poor and worked as a school teacher before rising to power as a politician of BJP.

However, exactly a month after his father's death on 3 June 2006, Mahajan was hospitalized after an alleged cocaine overdose. His father's secretary, Bibek Maitra was also rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.The two best friends had imbibed a cocktail of drugs along with champagne. Mahajan recovered, but on his discharge from hospital on 6 July 2006, he was arrested by the Delhi Police on charges of drug possession and consumption.
The case has become more complex because there are several different versions of what happened that night, and the fact that Apollo Hospital, where the two were admitted, said in a press conference that Mahajan's toxin screens were negative for all known drug types. An independent testing of Mahajan's blood has yielded different results, with high quantities of opiates detected in his blood sample. Apollo hospital has since changed their answer, saying that traces of barbiturates and opiates were found in his bloodstream. The forensics lab, after examining Mahajan's gastric lavage, has declared that heroin had been consumed, probably after mistaking it to be cocaine, and the Indian press has compared the incident to the movie Pulp Fiction.
In July 2006, he got engaged to Shweta Singh who he has known for 13 years. They were in flying school together in the US, and also flew for the Indian airline Jet Airways. The wedding took place on 29 August 2006 at Blue Sea, a marriage hall at Worli in Central Mumbai near the Mahajan residence. Shweta filed for divorce on 13 December 2007 on grounds of incompatibility and mutual consent of both parties. On 1 August 2008, Rahul Mahajan and his wife were granted a divorce by a Gurgaon court. District and session Judge Ramendra Jain granted their divorce after both parties mutually agreed on the move.[1]
