But, his attachment to his native village was the same. Whenever he got a chance, he used to come to his village. He used to come here like a normal person and meet people.

Sharad Yadav’s childhood friend bullion trader Ramesh Chand Soni, resident of Makhannagar (Ankhmau) told that Sharad’s memory was unmatched. He never forgot anyone. It was about 20 years ago, when Sharad had come to the village from Bihar. He and I were sitting at a shop in Makhannagar. Mohanlal the confectioner was standing in front of us. I asked Sharad that do you know him, then Sharad said that I do know, this is Mohanlal, but he does not recognize me. Then we told Mohanlal that you know him. He said no.
Sharad Yadav was courageous since childhood
Ramesh Chand told that it is a matter of 6th-7th class. When we were around 11-12 years old. Then there was a well located near the hospital in Kasera Mohalla in the village. A woman had fallen in it. Sharad jumped straight in without understanding anything. That woman was saved by bringing her out. He was courageous and fearless from the beginning.
