Last Updated: Charu Asopa and Rajeev Sen tied the knot in 2019 and became parents to a baby girl in 2021. The couple finalised their divorce in 2023. Even after getting divorced, Charu Asopa and Rajeev Sen share a cordial relationship. The two continue to co-parent their daughter Zaina and are often seen spending time together. However, the actress is also targeted repeatedly because of her frequent meetings with her ex-husband. In one of her recent YouTube vlogs, Charu Asopa opened up about facing criticism for meeting Rajeev. She mentioned that she decided to go on a vacation with Sushmita Sen's brother for their daughter's sake. 'You all are wise people, listen to two false interviews shouldn't change the truth. You can't follow someone blindly, haven't you all seen it? Aap logon ne toh mujhe bhi bola hai ki divorce ke baad itna kaise mil sakte ho. So why are you all questioning this? I don't have any problem, whenever he wants, he can come. He calls everyday, where is the problem?" she said. The actress slammed those making negative remarks against her and added, 'Aurat pe ungli uthana bohot asaan hota hai, even women gather up in making the other woman guilty. I don't care about it anymore. You can say what you want." Charu Asopa also hinted at Rajeev's previous comments on her character and stated, 'It is said that when a man can't defeat a woman, he questions her character. He tried everything, questioned my character and all. He tried it all, but I didn't bow to it. So now, I don't care at all, I am happy about my life with my daughter. Do whatever you can." Charu Asopa and Rajeev Sen tied the knot in 2019 and became parents to a baby girl in 2021. The couple finalised their divorce in 2023. Their daughter, Zaina, lives with Charu. Earlier this year, Charu has moved to Bikaner. The actress opened up about her decision to leave Mumbai and told ETimes, 'Living in Mumbai is not easy; it costs money. For me, the monthly living cost came up to Rs 1 lakh -1.5 lakh, including the rent and everything, which was not easy. Furthermore, I would rather not leave Ziana alone with a nanny when I am shooting in Naigaon (Mumbai). It used to get extremely difficult. Moving back home and starting my own thing was completely planned; it wasn't a rushed decision." First Published:
