Who is Rohini Acharya’s husband? All about Singapore-based investment banker Samaresh Singh
The family feud has drawn significant public attention, including toward Acharya’s life in Singapore, where she lives with her husband, Samaresh Singh.
After the RJD’s massive defeat in the 2025 Bihar elections, Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter, Rohini Acharya, announced that she was severing ties with her family and stepping away from politics.
The feud has drawn significant public attention, including toward Acharya’s life in Singapore, where she lives with her husband Samaresh Singh, their daughter Ananya, and sons Aditya and Arihant.
Acharya expressed her anguish on social media.
"For me, it became a huge sin that I didn't look after my family, my three children, didn't take permission from my husband or my in-laws when donating the kidney... I did what I did to save my god, my father, and today it's been called dirty... May none of you ever make a mistake like mine, may no family ever have a daughter like Rohini," her post on X read.

BJP on RJD's family feud
Following Acharya’s allegations, the BJP criticised the RJD, saying Lalu Prasad Yadav had favoured his son Tejashwi despite receiving a kidney from his daughter.
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha also targeted the Yadav family, saying, “The anarchy that was visible outside RJD is also reflected inside the family. People with such a mentality, who cannot keep their own family together, how can they run Bihar? It is their personal matter, so we will not say much, but this mentality will decide their future."
