Barkha and Indraneil Sengupta’s marriage has been under scrutiny for some time now. A lot has been said and reported about the Kahaani actor’s alleged affair with his Tarulotar Bhoot co-star Ishaa Saha. While the actors refrained from commenting till now, they have finally cleared the air.
In an interview with Calcutta Times, Indraneil said, “I have heard rumours of such kind about Barkha and my marriage and I knew they would trickle to the media, but there’s nothing like that.” Addressing the rumours of his extra-marital affair, he said, “I have heard this also. But for that to happen, I need to have gone to Kolkata. Right? I last went to Kolkata in February.”
He further said, “Barkha and I are doing absolutely fine, thank you. I do not know what is the source of this, but all these are merely rumours. The reports also claimed that I have been visiting Kolkata often. That is untrue. I travel to Kolkata only when there is work. The last time I was there, it was for a shoot. My next Kolkata trip too will just be for some work assignment. Barkha and I have a long career ahead and I am okay with such rumours popping up at times. There is nothing I can do about it.”
When Calcutta Times reached out to Ishaa, she also refuted the claims. She said, “This is not the first time something like this has happened to me. Earlier, my name was linked with one of my directors. I used to feel hurt and low with such reports, but now I am getting better at dealing with these incidents. This is a baseless rumour and I am sure the speculations will die down after a few days.”
