Rita Bhattacharya Alleges Cruelty in 1990s Marriage to Kumar Sanu, Says He Took Her to Court While She Was Pregnant

Multiple outlets published her account on Monday with no contemporaneous response from the singer.

Overview

  • Bhattacharya, in a fresh Film Window interview reported by Indian Express and others on Sept. 22, recalls being taken to court on cruelty grounds during her pregnancy with son Jaan.
  • She alleges family members locked kitchen storage, restricted her movement and grooming, and curtailed access to food and baby supplies during the pregnancy.
  • Coverage cites her claim that Sanu’s behavior changed after his early-1990s career breakthrough, with additional assertions of financial control and public mockery in court.
  • The reports revisit longstanding infidelity allegations linking Sanu to actress Kunickaa Sadanand, whose past interviews describe a live-in relationship and an admission of cheating.
  • The articles note the couple married in 1986 and divorced in 1994 with custody awarded to Bhattacharya, and they report no new legal filings or independent corroboration of her claims.
