Actor Kunickaa Sadanand’s son, Ayaan Lall, said that they bonded over being in relationships at the same time. “When I had girlfriends, my mother had boyfriends,” Ayaan said in an interview, recalling her widely publicised affair with singer Kumar Sanu. He said that the affair didn’t last 27 years, as has been reported recently, but that his mother was 27 years old when it began. He also clarified that he wasn’t born then, but learned about the affair much later. He said that he has never met Kumar Sanu, but has chilled with his son, Jaan.

In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Ayaan opened up about his mother’s dating life following her divorce from his father, who lives in the US. He said that she was very lonely after the separation, and really craved companionship. Several men entered her life, and left on good terms. “Some of them were great husband material, others were great father material,” Ayaan said. But ultimately, it didn’t work out for her with any of them.

He was also asked about his mother’s affair with Kumar Sanu, and he said that from what he knows, it was a toxic relationship. Asked when he found out about the affair, Ayaan said, “When I noticed that she was singing his songs at home all day. I’m just kidding. But she actually adores him as a singer. She still sings his songs. People are saying that the affair lasted 27 years, but what she actually said was that she was 27 years old when it happened. It lasted a few years, and she had me when she was 35.”

Ayaan added, “She genuinely loves the artiste. She doesn’t love the man anymore, I can promise. And my mother isn’t the obsessive type. It isn’t an ego thing. When I googled him, and asked her about him, she said, ‘He was a very important man in my life. I used to look at him as a soulmate, and everyone should experience that kind of love once in their life. It was toxic. Very, very toxic.”

In an earlier interview with Siddharth Kannan, Kunickaa said that Kumar Sanu was ‘in a very difficult relationship’ with his wife Rita at the time. “I was like a wife to him, I considered him like my husband,” she said, adding, “His wife smashed my car with a hockey stick. She would come outside my house and scream. But I understood her. She wanted money for her children, she wasn’t wrong. She said she didn’t want him back.”

Kunickaa commented on the affair again on Bigg Boss recently, adding that the relationship lasted five years and they separated when she discovered that he was cheating on her. “He was a married man, had separated from his wife, and we were in a live-in relationship. I was not married at that time, we were living in, but then he had an affair with another girl. I left him after he accepted cheating on me,” she said.
