In the post, the social media troll posted an AI-generated picture where Kunickaa was seen posing with Kumar Sanu. Kunickaa reposted it on her account and wrote in the caption, “Sharam karo (have some shame), this man is happily married and he has kids, you should also know he has personality rights given to him by the court, u will get into trouble for this. Stop dragging him or my personal life fandom wars. Give the due respect to a persons rights. i’m reporting u for defamation, take this down.”

Kunickaa Sadanand’s alleged affair with Kumar Sanu

Kunickaa revealed they were in a relationship for six years but kept it private out of respect for Kumar Sanu’s family and children. Kunickaa also claimed that Kumar Sanu’s wife, Rita Bhattacharya, eventually found out about the affair and retaliated by smashing her car with a hockey stick.

On Bigg Boss 19, Kunickaa spoke about her secret affair with Kumar Sanu in a conversation with Tanya Mittal and Neelam Giri. Inside the house, she had said, “I hid my secret relationship for 27 years, never commented on it. I have spoken about it now, and I feel so light. 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.” Kunickaa was married to Abhay Kothari and later to Vinay Lall. She has two sons, Arihant and Ayaan.
