‘Sushmita Sen is a self-made woman, knows her priorities’: Brother Rajeev Sen responds after ‘gold-digger’ claims

Now Rajeev said in an interview that his sister is a self-made woman who knows her priorities. Calling Sushmita a responsible mother who is a role model for many Indians, he added that she has already had her say through her Instagram posts.

Rajeev and his wife and actor Charu Asopa are headed for a divorce. The two got married in 2019, and have been living separately for some time now. They have a daughter named Ziana, who is currently living with Charu. Recently, a few reports claimed that in their fight, Sushmita is supporting Charu, and has unfollowed her brother on Instagram. Reacting to the same, Rajeev has claimed that his sister never followed him on Instagram. Hence, the claims of Sushmita unfollowing him leave him amused.

Speaking to ETimes, The Times of India, Rajeev said, “The only place she is following me is on Twitter.” Rajeev also addressed the claims of Sushmita supporting Charu. He said his sister is “smart enough to know where we stand” and accused Charu of playing the “victim card”.

Rajeev also said that instead of asking him, people should ask his sister about her decision to follow Charu on Instagram.

In an earlier interview, Charu Asopa had quoted Rajeev’s irresponsible behaviour towards their family as her reason for deciding to end her three years of marriage with him. She also mentioned that Rajeev wrongly alleges that he knew nothing of Charu’s first marriage.

Charu told Delhi Times, “I want to part ways because I don’t want my daughter to grow up in a toxic and abusive environment. I don’t want her to see people hurling abuses at each other.”

A few days back, Rajeev had also reacted to the news of his sister Sushmita’s relationship with businessman Lalit Modi. Rajeev told both ETimes and The Times of India that he wasn’t aware that his sister was dating the businessman and was “pleasantly surprised” on seeing their photos together.
