As she blocked the comment section on her post, speculations grew regarding secrecy on Aditya’s military details as to which country’s defence forces he is set to join.

Rohini Acharya shared the message along with a picture of his son with his parents on X. Lalu Yadav’s daughter expressed her emotions and felt ‘proud’. What made her prouder was the fact that her elder son Aditya chose such a demanding job where discipline and pride are its pillars, at such a young age. She called her son ‘brave, courageous and disciplined’.

Where will Lalu Yadav’s grandson work?

The post went quickly viral prompting several questions on social media regarding the country where Aditya has gone for training in its armed forces. Rohini Acharya has been living in Singapore with her family for many years. As per the Southeast Asian country, all male citizens and permanent residents must undergo compulsory military service after the age of 18. As he is a permanent resident in Singapore, he is mandated to serve their nation and so he has joined the Singapore Armed Forces for basic military training. The training period usually takes around two years and is considered highly rigorous.
