Days after Mahabharat actor Nitish Bharadwaj filed a complaint against his estranged wife Smita Bharadwaj, the latter has now made some shocking allegations. In her latest interview, Smita claimed that Nitish asked her to quit her job and when she refused to do it, he demanded money from her.
“Nitish wanted me to quit my job. When I did not agree, he asked for a divorce. And, when I got ready for divorce, he asked for money for consent divorce, which I denied. And then he started playing a victim card,” she told Free Press Journal.
While Nitish had claimed that his wife was not letting him meet their daughters, Smita has now alleged that he is trying to play the “victim card”. She revealed that the actor met his daughters recently. “On February 13, 2024, Nitish Bharadwaj purposely avoided meeting children. And a day later on Feb 14, he held a press conference, alleging I was not letting him to meet the children, without even considering the impact on the kids. On Saturday, 17th February 2024, Nitish met his daughters at our residence in the presence of family friends as well as the police officer. The visit lasted for about 30 minutes, at the end of which the daughters were left in tears,” she said.
Smita further alleged that Nitish never provided financial support to their children. “Since birth, the father has provided zero financial contribution towards the expense of bringing up children. Neither he has ever paid the school fees nor provided any maintenance amount to support them, despite the legal obligation,” she added.
Earlier this month, Nitish Bharadwaj filed a police complaint against his wife, Smita Gate, who works as the Additional Chief Secretary at MP Human Rights Commission, alleging harassment and unruly behaviour. Reportedly, Nitish accused Smita in his complaint of preventing him from meeting their twin daughters, Devyani and Shivranjani. He also alleged that his wife has been changing their daughters’ schools to hinder his access to them, which he claimed has negatively impacted his mental well-being.
Nitish is best known for playing Lord Krishna in the hit TV series Mahabharat. He has also starred in other popular shows and films like Vishnu Puran, Mohenjo Daro, Kedarnath and Samantar Seasons 1-2. Bharadwaj’s portrayal of Lord Krishna was highly admired and adored by the audience and became a demigod with the character.
