Kumar Sanu’s ex wife Rita Bhattacharya makes shocking allegations against singer, forced him to work, says, ‘Slept without…’

Kumar Sanu’s personal life has been in the news for some time. Kunickaa Sadanand, who was in a relationship with him, is on Bigg Boss. Now, Kumar Sanu’s ex-wife, Rita Bhattacharya, has revealed some shocking facts about him. Rita says that her in-laws tortured her and even forbade her from going out. She helped Kumar Sanu become famous, and he began to change as soon as he gained fame with Aashiqui.

I made him Kumar Sanu

Speaking to Film Window, Rita said, “He’s a great singer, but the less we talk about him as a person, the better. He was never ambitious. It was my dream for him to become a singer, and I pushed him. I helped Kumar Sanu become Kumar Sanu.” Rita said that Kumar Sanu wasn’t hardworking at all. 1 percent was his singing talent, and 99 percent was her motivation.

Slept without wings

Rita recalled her days of struggle. She said, “When we came to Mumbai, we had neither money nor a car etc. We were absolutely zero. At that time he used to wear lungi. He always lies that his family members sent him to Mumbai. If he does not want to answer then he should not answer this, why lie? He keeps lying all day long. That is why my three children said that it is enough, now you should speak. I used to force them to struggle in Bombay. We used to sleep on the floor without a fan.” Rita told that they used to sleep on the ground, they used to put water in the bed and sleep so that they do not feel hot.

Kumar Sanu has changed since Aashiqui

Rita said, “After the success of Aashiqui, he started earning a lot of money and that’s when he started changing. He became rude, he was never like this before.” Rita said that Sanu did not even talk to her or the children, not even when his elder son Zeeko was getting married. She said, “His love life is being discussed again in the media. When my elder son was getting engaged, I had told Sanu earlier also to say something and put a full stop to all this. He likes it if there is any talk about his life in the public, whether negative or positive. At that time, he did not respond and blocked me and Jaan. It was very insulting.”

Was not allowed to go out

Rita said, “I never thought we should separate. I was a mother of two, and my husband had become so successful. I never left the house. I wasn’t allowed to. I wasn’t even allowed to go to the parlor and get waxed.”

In-laws used to torture

Speaking about the divorce, Rita said, “I lost my father while I was pregnant with Jaan. The torture had reached its limits. He took me to court, accusing me of cruelty during my pregnancy. He was having an affair at the time, which has now come to light. He took me to court when I was very young. I felt as if my whole world had been destroyed.”

The kitchen was locked

Rita says, “I never got to ask Sanu face to face what the reason for the divorce was. Before I die, I want to ask him face to face the reason. My life was in my womb and I didn’t even get food. Once they locked the kitchen utensils. I sent the watchman to cook 1 kg of rice and then cooked it for myself. They even stopped giving milk to the children. It would be wrong to call them human beings.”
