Actor Charu Asopa has confirmed that she has relocated to her hometown Bikaner, Rajasthan, and is currently running an online clothing business. This development came to light after a video of her promoting salwar suits and sarees on social media began circulating, sparking reactions across the internet. While some social media users mocked her efforts, others expressed concern about her financial condition and praised her resilience.
Why Charu Asopa has left Mumbai and shifted to Bikaner
Speaking to Hindustan Times, Charu clarified her current situation, saying, “I have shifted to my hometown Bikaner, Rajasthan. I have left Mumbai for now, and I am currently living with my parents. It’s been more than a month since Ziana and I moved here.”
She explained that her decision to leave Mumbai was well thought out and based on both personal and financial reasons. “Living in Mumbai is not easy; it costs money. For me, the monthly living cost came up to ₹1 lakh -1.5 lakh, including the rent and everything, which was not easy. Furthermore, I would rather not leave Ziana alone with a nanny when I am shooting in Naigaon (Mumbai). It used to get extremely difficult. Moving back home and starting my own thing was completely planned; it wasn’t a rushed decision,” she was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
Charu on her new business
Responding to online trolls and speculation about her financial health, the actor said she is taking charge of her life in her own way. “When you start something new, everyone struggles. What’s different in my case? I am doing everything on my own, from taking orders to sending packages to getting stock. When I came to Mumbai for acting that wasn’t easy too. I struggled to build a name for myself and I managed. Now, I have started this business, so that I can focus on my child, and I don’t think that’s wrong.”
About informing ex-husband Rajeev Sen
Charu, who shares a daughter, Ziana, with her ex-husband Rajeev Sen, addressed whether he had any objections to her moving out of Mumbai. “He can always come visit his daughter in Bikaner. Before leaving Mumbai, I dropped a text informing him about my plans.”
When asked if financial pressure pushed her towards online selling, she explained that the nature of her work had changed. “It’s not like I was shooting for a big project. I would rather not take up a daily soap as I want to focus on Ziana. And I can shoot digital content from here, anyway. If I have to travel for a shoot, the best part of being back home is, I can always leave Ziana with her grandparents than a nanny.”
Looking ahead, Charu revealed her intention to settle down in Bikaner. “I plan to buy a house here in Bikaner. In the meantime, Ziana and I are staying with my parents. Tomorrow, I am going back to Mumbai to get all my belongings.”
