Rohini, a doctor by training, had once earned widespread admiration for donating a kidney to her father, a gesture she said was nothing more than offering “a small chunk of flesh.” This week, however, she publicly distanced herself from both politics and the family, alleging mistreatment and accusing some relatives of calling her life-saving donation a “dirty kidney.” Her social media posts described the emotional fallout of that decision, including the claim that she had been told she committed a “sin” by prioritising her father’s health over her husband and children.
The remarks triggered fresh turbulence within the Yadav household, prompting three of her sisters — Ragini, Chanda, and Raj Lakshmi to leave the family’s Patna residence. Tej Pratap Yadav, who has himself been estranged from the family for over a year, publicly backed Rohini, sharpening the sense of fracture inside the RJD’s first family. Lalu Prasad and Tejashwi Yadav have so far chosen silence, even as JD(U) leaders insist the discord now carries political implications for Bihar.
Amid this turmoil stands Samaresh Singh, Rohini’s husband, a largely private figure whose professional life contrasts sharply with the noisy political drama unfolding in Patna. Rohini and Samaresh married in 2002. He is the son of former Income Tax officer Rao Ranvijay Singh. After their marriage, the couple moved to the United States before eventually settling in Singapore, where they now live with their daughter, Ananya, and sons, Aditya and Arihant.
An alumnus of Delhi Public School, RK Puram, Samaresh went on to study Economics at Delhi University and later pursued a Master’s in Economics, Finance and International Business at the Delhi School of Economics. In 2006, he completed his MBA in Finance from INSEAD. Professionally, he built a career across multiple financial hubs in Asia. At Merrill Lynch, he worked on corporate finance and M&A transactions across Singapore and Jakarta, executing IPOs and advisory mandates in sectors such as oil and gas, natural resources, shipping, and real estate.
He later joined GMR Infrastructure in Singapore, working on investment opportunities in natural resources and infrastructure. His longest stint came at Standard Chartered Bank, where he spent seven years as Executive Director for M&A, closing nearly major transactions across Southeast Asia with a combined value exceeding US$12 billion. His deal list included large corporate sales, acquisitions, and capital market operations spanning consumer, real estate, manufacturing, natural resources, and agri-business sectors.
Today, Samaresh serves as Managing Director for Investment Banking, Mergers and Acquisitions at Evercore in Singapore, a role that reflects his rise through the region’s financial industry.
