Indraneil Sengupta and Barkha Bisht were among the most popular celebrity couples. However, after being married for almost 15 years, the former couple decided to part ways while their daughter was just 9 years old.
They separated in 2022, but now, nearly four years later, the news of their separation has resurfaced in the headlines following Barkha's recent explosive interview. From accusing Indraneil of cheating to revealing that he has not been contributing to co-parenting their daughter, Barkha made several revelations.

In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Barkha Bisht opened up about the challenges that affected her relationship with Indraneil Sengupta. She described the issue of "dependency" and admitted that she doesn't fully understand what went wrong. Barkha mentioned that while there were several problems in their relationship, "falling out of love" was also one of the reasons. She emphasized that everyone has choices, and Indraneil chose to "move out of the marriage."
Barkha clarified that it was Indraneil’s decision to leave, but she also stated that their marriage had its good moments. She described herself as very "efficient" and noted that when Indraneil did not match that efficiency, it would irritate her. Indraneil, in turn, accused her of wanting to "control" every aspect of their lives.

Barkha shared her efforts to save the marriage and how difficult it was for her to let go. She admitted she was ready to forgive Indraneil and spent two years trying to salvage their relationship.
She shared how her confidence was shattered for the first time when she was cheated on.

Today, he can justify it."
Speaking about co-parenting, Barkha mentioned, "Unfortunately, he has disappeared from Meira's life. I think Meira is also okay with it." She added that people might think she doesn’t want Meira to meet Indraneil, but that is not true.
She revealed that when she and Indraneil separated, she was hoping he would return and even assured their daughter the same. Barkha said she realized that Indraneil was not coming back after nearly two years.
