​Barkha Bisht opens up on ex-husband Indraneil Sengupta’s alleged infidelity: The worst thing you can do to a woman | Hindi Movie News

Actress Barkha Bisht, who has carved a niche in Bollywood films ‘Raajneeti,’ ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela,’ ‘1920: Horrors of the Heart,’ ‘PM Narendra Modi,’ and others, has broken her silence on the collapse of her 15-year marriage to actor Indraneil Sengupta, accusing him of infidelity in a candid interview with The Indian Express. The couple, who parted ways in 2022, had long been the subject of speculation, and Barkha’s revelations shed light on the emotional toll of their separation.
A marriage unraveled.
Barkha and Indraneil once considered a power couple in the television industry, tied the knot in 2008 after meeting on the sets of Pyaar Ke Do Naam: Ek Raadha, Ek Shyaam. Their union, blessed with a daughter, Meira, in 2011, appeared solid until rumors of discord surfaced in 2021. Barkha now alleges that Indraneil’s infidelity was a pivotal factor in their breakup, a choice she describes as deeply wounding. “Infidelity, cheating, is a choice,” she said, reflecting on the betrayal that shattered her trust.
Confronting the rumors
The actress specifically addressed long-standing rumors of Indraneil’s affair with Bengali actress Ishaa Saha, which gained traction during his time filming in Kolkata. Barkha recalled confronting him about the alleged relationship, only to receive an unsatisfactory response. “His answer wasn’t satisfying,” she shared, adding that Indraneil’s justifications failed to ease her pain. The rumors, which intensified when Indraneil reportedly moved out of their shared home, marked a turning point in their relationship, leading to their eventual divorce.
Emotional aftermath
Barkha’s interview reveals the impact of the ordeal, describing the heartache as a physical ache that shook her belief in humanity. “The worst thing you can do to a woman is break her trust,” she emphasized, highlighting the enduring scars left by betrayal. Despite her efforts to salvage the marriage for two years, she acknowledged that Indraneil’s decision to leave was beyond her control.
Moving forward
Now a single mother prioritizing her daughter, Meira, Barkha remains open to new acting opportunities across television, film, and OTT platforms.
