Barkha Bisht and Indraneil Sengupta were once regarded as one of the most admired couples in the entertainment industry. Married for 15 years, their relationship was seen as a strong and stable bond. However, their separation came as a shock to their fans. Now, in a recent interview, Barkha Bisht has finally opened up about the real reason behind their divorce, revealing that infidelity played a major role in their breakup.
Barkha Bisht Accuses Indraneil Sengupta of Cheating
In an emotional and candid conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Barkha shared details about the downfall of her marriage. She admitted that she had known about Indraneil’s affair for quite some time but still tried to hold on to their marriage for two years before things completely fell apart.
Despite her efforts to save the relationship, it was Indraneil who chose to walk away. Barkha emphasized that cheating is a choice, and her ex-husband made that choice despite knowing the impact it would have on their family and relationship.
“It’s a choice to move out of a marriage, and it was Indraneil’s choice to move out of the marriage. He chose to move out of the marriage for reasons best known to him. If it were in my hands, I would still be married. We had a good marriage. For four years, I have constantly felt that I wish I could be lesser in everything—maybe things could have been okay. Infidelity, cheating, falling out of love—all these things happen. It is a choice. Cheating and infidelity is a choice that you make. The second choice is what you do after that.”
Barkha Bisht Tried to Save Her Marriage Despite Betrayal
Barkha further revealed that she was once among those women who believed that if her husband ever cheated on her, she would walk away without a second thought. However, when she found herself in that exact situation, she realized that it was easier said than done.
She confronted Indraneil about the rumors of his affair with Bengali actress Ishaa Saha, but his responses did not satisfy her. She admitted that she was willing to forgive him and even tried to save their marriage for two years, but Indraneil had already made up his mind.
“I was among those women who would say that I would walk out of a marriage if I were cheated on, but when it actually happens to you, you realize it is easier said than done. I have no shame in saying that I would have forgiven Indraneil, and I even tried to save my marriage for two years after that. Indraneil made a choice—maybe he can justify it now. He can give you a hundred reasons why this marriage broke, but his actions are not on me. He has to justify them.”
The Emotional Toll of Betrayal and Heartbreak
The actress also spoke about the emotional turmoil she went through after her husband’s betrayal. She described the heartbreak as a physical pain that she had to endure. While the experience shook her faith in humanity, it did not break her belief in love and marriage.
“Jo dil ka tootna kehte hain—heartache—I felt it. It feels like physical pain. It was an experience I had to go through. My belief in humanity broke at that time, not my faith in marriage or love, and it is still somewhere broken. The worst thing you can do to a woman is break her trust because she cannot take betrayal.”
Moving On and Finding Strength
Despite the painful experience, Barkha Bisht has managed to find her inner strength. She now focuses on her personal growth, career, and being a strong role model for other women who may be going through similar struggles. Her story is a reminder that betrayal does not define a person; rather, how they rise from it does.
While Indraneil Sengupta has not commented on the accusations, Barkha’s revelations have sparked discussions about infidelity, trust, and resilience in relationships. Fans have come out in support of her, praising her for speaking her truth and showing immense courage in the face of adversity.
