Amid separation, Rajeev Sen took everyone by surprise by posting a loved-up picture with his estranged wife, Charu Asopa, on his Instagram page. The two tied the knot in 2019 and have been constantly in the news for their fights and patch-ups. In a chat with us, when asked about the picture, Rajeev told us, “The picture says it all.” He even praised his wife for taking “great care” of their daughter, Ziana, and complimented her for looking stunning in a sari. All of this has got netizens wondering whether the warring couple has kissed and made up. So, after Rajeev, we got in touch with Charu to know her side of the story. Excerpts…
Rajeev posted a picture with you on his Instagram page yesterday. Have you guys patched up?
First, it’s an old picture. I had no clue about the post, as Rajeev and I have blocked each other on Instagram. I was inundated with messages and calls regarding the post. People shared screenshots of the post with me and that’s how I got to know about it. I have no idea why he posted the picture because a couple of days ago, I sent him a draft for divorce by mutual consent. Rajeev, however, wanted to incorporate some changes in it and told us that he was in discussion with his lawyer. We are still waiting for his lawyer to revert. My friends told me that he spoke about me even in his vlog.
He complimented you and said that you look stunning in a sari and he has always loved you in it. What do you have to say about it?
I have no idea what’s on his mind and what he wants to convey through these posts. I am unable to fathom his actions, especially after levelling baseless allegations against me in the recent past. Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha hai ki iske peeche kya bolna chah raha hai.
What was your reaction when people told you about the post?
I was shocked. Hamaare beech mein koi baat bhi nahi hui hai iss baare mein (Rajeev and I haven’t spoken about it). I don’t know why he posted it.
Were you present when he visited your daughter, Ziana, recently?
Yes, I was. I still live in my marital home. He keeps shuttling between Mumbai and Dubai.
You were trolled for wearing sindoor amid your divorce from Rajeev?
I am still married and not divorced yet. Divorce hua nahi hain, shaadi shuda hoon toh sindoor kyu nahi lagaaungi, especially when I am going to a temple (I am not divorced yet, I am still married, so, why will I not wear sindoor?).
Is there a possibility of a reconciliation between you two?
Koi chamtkaar agar ho jaata hai toh pata nahi toh abhi mujhe aise koi chances nahi lag rahe (Only a miracle can save our marriage but I don’t see any possibility of it happening). I have made up my mind. It’s really funny that after casting aspersions on me and accusing me of hiding my first marriage, something like this is happening. The accusation of me hiding my marriage from him is a lie. I met him at a restaurant near his gym in Bandra to inform him about my first marriage. Today he is claiming that I kept it a secret from him. He also accused me of using the victim card. Itna sab hone ke baad yeh sab cheezein faaltu lag rahi hain (After whatever he has said about me, all of this seems futile).
