Kumar Sanu`s ex-wife Rita Bhattacharya
Kumar Sanu’s personal life has always grabbed headlines. Be it his marriage with Rita Bhattacharya or his affair with Kunickaa Sadanand, the singer has been in the news for several reasons. In a recent interview, his ex-wife Rita recalled how she was tortured during her pregnancy and dragged to court by Sanu and his family. She even shared how she was not given proper food.
In an interview with Film Window, she shared, “He is a great singer, but as a human being, it would be best to talk about him as little as possible. He was never ambitious. It was my dream to make him a singer; I pushed him. I helped Kumar Sanu become Kumar Sanu. After Aashiqui’s success, he started earning a lot of money, and that’s when he started changing. He became ill-mannered; he was never like that.”
