There have been well-known issues between Mahabharat actor Nitish Bharadwaj and his estranged wife Smita Bharadwaj (now Gate). Over the past few months, they have exchanged various accusations against each other. In a recent interview, Nitish made a surprising claim, stating that he experienced abuse during their marriage.
Nitish Bharadwaj says he was 'abused' in marriage
In a conversation with Telly Talk, Nitish said, "In this marriage, I have faced extreme amounts of abuse of all sorts, and even now with parental alienation, my two children are being taken away from me. If I tell you only the two lines my 11-year-old daughters told me, âPapa, we are disgusted to call you our father,' this is what one child told me,"
Nitish went on to express that he's unsure how to handle the ongoing turmoil. Responding to his wife's claim that he was seeking money, he countered and stated, "It's a lie that I am asking for money. I'm asking for my money that I was cheated of. I feel I'm cheated. So today, it is my children's battle I'm fighting. So I don't know whether I'll be able to do justice to any other woman. The institution of marriage is special to me. I believe in it. I have seen many, many, successful marriages including my parents' marriage."
