"Thus, the question of divorce does not arise," she claimed adding that she has long been separated from her husband. "I did not speak about it as I intended to keep my private life to myself," mentioned the Bengali film actor who joined politics in 2019 and contested from Basirhat as a Trinamool Congress candidate.
