Kumar Sanu is a name synonymous with '90s Bollywood romance, a voice that has sung countless melodies of love and longing. But behind the scenes of this celebrated life, his wife, Rita Bhattacharya, has revealed a story that is far from a romantic ballad. In a candid conversation, she opened up about the immense struggles and mistreatment she allegedly faced from his family in the early days of their marriage.Speaking about the difficult period, Rita made a shocking allegation that has left many stunned. She claimed that while she was pregnant with their daughter, Shannon K, her in-laws were so against her that they even stopped giving her food."I faced a lot of trouble," she recounted, explaining that her mother-in-law never accepted her. The situation became so dire that, in her most vulnerable state, she felt utterly alone and unsupported. According to Rita, her mother-in-law explicitly told her that she "didn't like her" and "didn't want her" in the family.The alleged mistreatment wasn't just emotional; it was physical. Rita described how the family cook was instructed not to provide her with meals. This forced her to find ways to survive on her own while carrying her child. The loneliness and hostility took a severe toll on her, making her pregnancy a period of intense stress rather than joy.This experience, she says, is what ultimately led to their daughter Shannon K being born prematurely, in the seventh month of her pregnancy. The difficult circumstances surrounding her birth became a defining chapter in their lives.For many who only know Kumar Sanu as the "King of Melody," these revelations paint a starkly different picture of his personal life. It's a reminder that even in the most glamorous of worlds, stories of profound personal pain and family conflict can lie hidden just beneath the surface. Rita's story is one of a woman who felt isolated and mistreated at a time when she needed support the most, a narrative that stands in painful contrast to the romantic songs her husband was famous for.
