Sushmita Sen's brother Rajeev Sen says his ex-wife Charu Asopa's move to Bikaner has made it difficult for him to be present in daughter Ziana's life as a father.
Rajeev Sen, and his ex-wife Charu Asopa have been hitting the headlines after the latter moved to Bikaner with their daughter Ziana. Charu earlier said that she informed Rajeev about her plan to move, and that he can always visit his daughter in Bikaner. In his latest video, Rajeev Sen reacted to Charu's move, saying it has made it difficult for him to be present in their daughter Ziana's life, as he can't travel to Bikaner every weekend. He said that there was 'absolutely no need' for his ex-wife to leave Mumbai, and that he is sure she will come back and settle again in Mumbai.
In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Rajeev Sen said, 'The woman will always have a bigger role to play, especially when the child is with her. I have very limited resources. I can only do video calls, or I can go meet her (Ziana). Right now, she is not in Bombay. More than anything else, I feel very bad for Ziana. At least if nothing else, there was no need for Charu to leave Bombay. Absolutely no need. Because ghoom phir kea ap log dekh lena, she will come back to Bombay. And I'm not saying for me. She will come back, she will settle down again here."
He said that after living and working in the city for so many years, one gets used to the lifestyle and builds friendships. He said that visiting Ziana has become a challenge, because he cannot go to Bikaner every weekend. 'Unki bhi ek lifestyle rahi hai yaha pe. Bikaner is completely different. Main agar Bikaner jaau bhi, toh aisa nahi hai ki every weekend I'll be going to Bikaner. I live here and I keep travelling for work to other places. It will never be easy for me to keep going to Bikaner all the time. Main jaunga zaroor. (I will definitely go)," said Rajeev.
Rajeev Sen Says He And Charu Asopa Are 'Strong Headed People'
He further added that he and his ex-wife are both strong headed people, who couldn't understand each other. 'Ek dusre ko samajh nahi paaye. Ek dusre ko respect nahi kar paaye. Pyaar toh bohot tha. (We couldn't understand each other. We couldn't respect each other. There was a lot of love, though). But I feel like whatever happened was for the highest good. For her and for me." He further added, 'When it comes to Ziana, if Charu genuinely wants a father's love for her daughter, she needs to play the bigger role because Ziana is with her."
Rajeev said that Ziana is too young to understand what's really happening. He believes this situation applies to many divorced couples with children. He emphasized that children should be allowed to meet their fathers, regardless of issues between the parents. According to him, while couples can separate if they have problems, it's a child's right to receive love from both their mother and father.
'Unfortunately, I haven't been able to spend time with Ziana as a father should do. Dropping her to school, picking her up. Sometimes I feel I am a father, but baap banne ka mauka hi nahi mila," he concluded.
