Charu Asopa reacts to Sushmita Sen siding with her over brother Rajeev amid divorce

Charu Asopa and Rajeev Sen have finally filed for divorce. Amid this, Charu thanked sister-in-law for supporting her.

Charu Asopa and her ex-husband Rajeev Sen have finally headed for separation. The couple has started legal formalities to part ways. Earlier, there had also been reports of their marriage hitting a rough patch, but this time things seem to a lot more serious as they have filed for divorce. In a new interview, Charu addressed rumours that Rajeev’s sister, Sushmita Sen, is siding with her during this time. Meanwhile, the ex-couple started facing problems in their marriage almost as soon as they tied the knot in 2019.

Sushmita Sen is currently making news thanks to her relationship with Lalit Modi. Meanwhile, it is rumoured that she is supporting Charu Asopa over her brother Rajeev Sen. The rumours started when it was noticed that Sushmita doesn’t follow Rajeev, but follows Charu. Asked about Sushmita, Charu said in an interview with The Times of India that she is a ‘wonderful actor and an even better human being’. She thanked Sushmita for being ‘extremely welcoming’ towards her from the very beginning of her relationship with Rajeev, and that she will cherish their bond — one of ‘love, adulation and immense respect’ — for the rest of her life.

Opening up about her decision to separate from Rajeev Sen, Charu Asopra told The Times Of India that she sent a notice to him on June 7 seeking to part ways amicably. However, he replied with another notice levelling accusations against her. The actress said, “I didn’t want to talk about the problems in our marriage, but I have been forced to talk about it now because Rajeev is spreading lies about me, which is damaging to my reputation. Yes, we have taken the legal route to end the marriage and I initiated the process.”

Charu, who shares daughter Ziana with Rajeev, says there is ‘nothing left’ in their marriage anymore. “Everyone knows that we have been having problems in our marriage for the past three years, since the time we tied the knot. But I kept giving him chances. Earlier, it was for me and then for our daughter, Ziana. Par woh ek chance dete dete teen saal kab nikal gaye mujhe kuch pata nahi chala (But I don't know how giving yet another chance led to three years of this). He has trust issues and I can't take it anymore. I sent him a simple notice asking for an amicable separation, as there is nothing left in our relationship. I want to part ways because I don't want my daughter to grow up in a toxic and abusive environment. I don't want her to see people hurling abuses at each other,” she said.

Recently, Charu in one of her Vlogs, had hinted at problems in her marriage. Indirectly, she condemned her husband Rajeev for not being present for their daughter, Ziana. She also criticised him in a discreet manner for asking her not to reveal Ziana's face in her social media posts but he himself shares his videos with her thumbnail. Charu shared this video after Rajeev said in one of his vlogs that he is not comfortable with his daughter getting too much exposure at a young age. He even said that he doesn't want to show on camera how much he is missing Ziana for sympathy.
