As Rohini Acharya’s public fallout with her brother Tejashwi Yadav made headlines, spotlight shifted to her husband, Samaresh Singh — a Singapore-based investment banker who rarely appears in public. Here’s a full look at Samaresh’s career, education, and his life with Rohini away from the Lalu Yadav political circle.
Following the Rashtriya Janata Dal’s (RJD) humiliating defeat at the hustings, the social media outburst of party Supremo Lalu Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya has triggered an intense public family drama.
Rohini severed ties with her brother Tejashwi Yadav and quit politics, alleging humiliation inside her maternal home. As her allegations drew public attention, the spotlight quickly shifted to her husband, Samaresh Singh, who keeps a relatively low profile.
