Recently, a video of Charu Asopa went viral in which she was seen selling salwar suits and sarees online. Soon after, she confirmed that she had left Mumbai and shifted to
Bikaner
, Rajasthan, with her daughter. After Charu moved away from Mumbai with their daughter, her ex-husband
Rajeev Sen
has come forward, expressing his anger and disappointment. The former couple, who separated after a rocky marriage, now seem to be at odds over parenting and public perception.
When asked whether she had informed Rajeev about the move, Charu had earlier told Hindustan Times, "He can always come visit his daughter in Bikaner. Before leaving Mumbai, I dropped a text informing him about my plans."
Rajeev Reacts: ‘I Don’t Think I Have Any Rights’
Rajeev Sen didn’t take the news lightly. He shared his frustration and hurt, he told HT, "Charu has mastered the art of keeping my daughter away from me. But I really feel bad for
Ziana
because she's the one who is losing out. The last time I met Ziana was this January. I’m sure she’s missing me as much as I’m missing her. When I was in Delhi for work, I called Charu to ask if I could come to Bikaner to meet Ziana, but I got no response. Now she's telling everyone 'he is most welcome to come to Bikaner and he has all the rights to meet her.' I don’t think I have any rights, sadly—especially when I’ve made the effort and got silence in return. What more can I do?"
Questions Over Charu’s Finances
While Rajeev admits he’s glad Charu is working hard, he also questioned her financial claims. He said, "She could afford a
cruise trip
with her brother and his wife—which is pretty expensive—and she paid for everyone’s ticket. Where does this financial struggle come into play?"
He added, "She’s looking to buy a house in Bikaner—or maybe already has—which takes serious money. Even with a loan, buying property isn’t cheap. Plus, if she’s managing cruises and her regular shopping—as seen in her daily vlogs—it clearly shows she’s not struggling financially. Anyone truly under financial stress wouldn’t even dream of buying property."
'We’re all concerned about Ziana'
Despite the tension, Rajeev insisted that his focus remains on his daughter’s well-being. He explained, "My lawyers and I have been closely monitoring everything since the divorce. What baffles me is that even after everything she’s said and done—like publicly defaming me—my family and I still chose to forgive her. We gave her another chance, not just for Ziana, but for her too. We understand her anger comes from past trauma, but sadly, I’m the one paying the price for it."
He continued, "We’re all concerned about Ziana. We want Charu to be in a stable mental and emotional state, not talking to the media every day. You’ve seen it—she’s happy on trips with me, like in Dubai, and then suddenly flips. If she thinks I’m a bad father or a bad human being, so be it. I don’t care. People who truly know me know what I’m about. She’s only hurting her own image, despite having so much in life."
‘Come home, give our Child a chance’
Rajeev shared that he still wishes for some stability for Ziana, even if that doesn’t mean a reunion. He said, "Even last month, I told her—come home, give our child a chance. Not that we need to get married again, but at least she’ll have her own house, her own space. But I don’t know what’s going on in her mind. Maybe too many people are influencing her, but at some point, she has to take responsibility and think long term about what’s truly best for her and for Ziana."
Meanwhile, Charu is looking ahead to better things
After confirming her move to Bikaner, Charu re-shared a post on her Instagram stories that gave a peek into how she’s feeling. The post read, “Believe that some things have to end for better things to happen,” hinting perhaps at her attempt to begin a new chapter with her daughter.
