Barkha Bisht and Indraneil Sengupta, who starred together in the television show Pyaar Ke Do Naam Ek Raadha Ek Shyaam, got married in 2008 but the two parted ways in 2022. In a recent interview, Barkha opened up about the current status of her relationship with Indraneil and shared that he is not actively involved in raising their 13-year-old daughter.
Speaking to Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, Barkha shared that Indraneil isn’t actively present in their daughter’s life but she has accepted it with a heavy heart. She shared that while people might assume that she is intentionally trying to keep Indraneil away from their daughter, that isn’t the case. She said, “I still have a lot of love for Indraneil. I don’t know about respect, but love. I have spent beautiful 15 years of my life with him. I never wanted to spoil his relations with his daughter. I am not the kind to do all this. When he couldn’t give me loyalty, love and stability in a marriage, what will I do with anything else?” Barkha spoke about her daughter and added, “She now has developed an emotional maturity, which I wish had not come to her yet, maintaining her innocence.”
Recalling her divorce, Barkha shared it was the same time when she was shooting for her films Safed (2023) and 1920: Horrors of Heart (2023). Shooting for these films was quite difficult for her as she was emotionally vulnerable at the time. She shared director-producer Vikram Bhatt, actor Suniel Shetty, and Safed director Sandip Ssingh helped her through this time. “Vikram is an eloquent speaker and he would talk to me during 1920 shoot. He would ask me to vent it out. It was like I was taking therapy while also shooting for my film. Sandip and Vikram were like my therapists”, said Barkha. She added, “Suniel Shetty kept a constant check on me. Every two days, he would drop me a text: ‘How you doing today?’ I would cry to him too while shooting for a project. I also had Sohail Khan helping me.” They were working on the web series, Hunter: Tootega Nahi Todega.
In the same interview, Barkha also reacted to the many rumoured link ups that have been attached to her name since her divorce. She said, “People keep linking me to a lot of people. In between, they had spread rumours that I was dating Karan Veer Mehra. A lot of people trolled me on it. When I went to support him on Bigg Boss, people began to speculate, ‘Because she is so obsessed with Karan, her marriage ended’. When I posted pictures with Karan, people would comment, ‘How is her husband allowing all this?'”
When asked about her relationship with Ashish Sharma, Barkha said, “He is a very special friend of mine.” She explained, “I found him when I needed it the most. I am not someone who hides my relationships. Right now, my daughter is watching every step of mine. I am focused on her and I can’t focus on relationships. I can’t be casually dating.”
