Actor Sushmita Sen’s fans were in for a shock when the actor opened up about her health scare earlier this year. During the shoot for Aarya 3 in Jaipur, Sen suffered a heart attack and everyone, including her family, was in shock, revealed her sister-in-law Charu Asopa. Charu shared that Sushmita is doing fine now and called her a “fighter.”

In an interview with ETimes, Charu, who is in an estranged marriage with Sushmita’s brother Rajeev Sen said, “She (Sushmita) is a fighter and our entire family is so proud of her. Be it any problem, she fights it out. She is an amazing human being and sometimes I can talk to her and sometimes I can’t but she is always close to my heart. Every time I meet her and she hugs me, it’s a warm hug and it feels so good that I can’t even tell you.”

Charu added that her 16-month-old daughter Ziana shares many qualities of Sushmita. “Ziana has many of her qualities. Jitni strong mujhe wo lagti hai, mujhe Ziana bhi utni hi strong lagti hai.” (I find Ziana as strong as Sushmita),” she said.

Charu recalled the time when she learnt about Sushmita’s heart attack and said that before the family, the former Miss Universe informed the doctors. “Iske baare mein family mein kisi ko nahi pata tha because I think didi ne kisi ko bataya nahi tha. (No one in the family knew about this because I think she didn’t tell anyone about it). So when it happened, she was in Jaipur and before she could tell anyone, she herself called the doctors. When I got to know this, I called my mother-in-law and asked her about it and she told me that now she (Sushmita) is fine. No one expected it and everyone was shocked,” she said.

Charu and Rajeev’s marriage hit the rocks soon after they tied the knot. However, in 2022, the actors decided to separate. The former couple continues to co-parent their daughter Ziana. “Ziana is our daughter and he (Rajeev) can come and meet her anytime and spend time with her. If he wants, I can send Ziana to him. So, that’s not a problem but what do I say about us being together…,” Charu said.

She added, “I want the child to see us together, being respectful towards each other. I don’t want her to see us in a relationship where either of us is not happy and then it becomes toxic for the child as well.”
