Nitish Bharadwaj, renowned for his portrayal of Krishna in the epic television series Mahabharat, finds himself embroiled in a legal dispute with his estranged wife, Smita Bharadwaj, over allegations of mental abuse and denial of access to their children. The actor’s decision to file a police complaint in Bhopal has sparked intense discussions on social media, shedding light on the complexities of their relationship.
In response to Nitish’s claims, Chinmay Vaidya, representing Smita Bharadwaj, refuted the accusations, labeling them as “false and defamatory.” Vaidya emphasized that the matter is deeply personal, particularly concerning the well-being of their children, and assured that an official statement outlining the facts would be released soon.
Confirming the receipt of Nitish’s complaint, Bhopal Police Commissioner Harinarayanachari Mishra stated that an additional Deputy Commissioner of Police is currently investigating the matter. Nitish alleges that despite filing for divorce in 2018, Smita has been obstructing his efforts to meet their twin daughters, Devyani and Shivranjani.
According to reports, Nitish submitted a written complaint outlining the details of their 12-year marriage and the divorce proceedings initiated in 2018 at the Mumbai Family Court. Despite the passage of time, their divorce remains unresolved, leading Nitish to accuse Smita of violating his paternal rights by denying him access to their children.
The unfolding legal battle between Nitish and Smita sheds light on the complexities and challenges faced in navigating divorce proceedings, particularly when children are involved. As the investigation progresses, the public awaits further developments in this high-profile case.
