The long-kept secret of actress Kunickaa Sadanand’s 27-year live-in relationship with married singer Kumar Sanu has sparked a public feud. Sanu’s ex-wife, Rita Bhattacharya, is now speaking out to challenge the actress’s story. Sadanand, who was on Bigg Boss 19, reportedly said that she had kept her sadness to herself when the singer “ditched” her.
She thought of him as “like a wife” and helped him with his outfits and performances. Rita Bhattacharya directly responded by saying that Sadanand says Sanu left her for someone else, but the actress was actually with the singer while he was still married to Rita, who was pregnant with their kid at the time. Bhattacharya strongly questioned Sadanand’s claim that he had been grieving for 27 years, saying, “You have a son who is 26 years old.” How did you obtain so much sadness? While asking how someone could hide their pain for 27 years when their son is 26, she ended her criticism with the mocking comment, “You can marry a 70-year-old woman and have a 26-year-old son?” Not in my nation. The interaction takes Kumar Sanu’s and Sadanand’s stormy relationship back into the forefront.
Kumar Sanu divorced Rita in 1994 after having three children with her, and Sadanand has now publicly shared details about her private life with the singer.
