RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya is a name that has been in the headlines in recent years due to politics, social media and family disputes. Despite being settled in Singapore, his political activism and outspoken social media posts gave him a distinct identity in the politics of Bihar. At one point, she even donated her kidney to save her father’s life, after which people started honoring her by calling her “real life lioness daughter”.
Early life and the unique story of the surname ‘Acharya’
Born on June 1, 1979 in Patna, Rohini’s surname is ‘Acharya’, not ‘Yadav’, and there is an emotional story behind it. He was born in the nursing home of Dr. Kamala Achari. Instead of taking fees, the doctor asked Lalu Prasad to give his surname to his daughter. After this Rohini was named Rohini Acharya.
MBBS studies and life abroad
Rohini did MBBS from Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College, Jamshedpur in 1998. After completing his studies he did not practice as a doctor. In 2002, she married Samaresh Singh, who works in the IT sector in Singapore. They have three children and the family lives permanently in Singapore.
