TV actress and entrepreneur Charu Asopa, who was earlier married to Sushmita Sen's brother Rajeev Sen, has left Mumbai with her daughter Ziana Sen due to a financial crisis.
Charu is moving back to her hometown, Bikaner, Rajasthan, with her three-year-old daughter Ziana. Charu shared a picture with her daughter as they sat in the train.
She simply wrote, "New chapter of life begins."
Recently, a video of Charu selling a suit and salwar kameez went viral on social media and it sparked concerns, with her fans wondering if all is well with the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actress.
Before her return to Bikaner, Charu spoke with the Hindustan Times and she confirmed she has been selling clothes online. "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 said.

Regarding her choice to leave Mumbai, Charu said, "Living in Mumbai is not easy; it costs money. For me, the monthly living cost came up to Rs 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."
Charu also spoke about the trolling; she said, "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 either. 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."
Charu and ex-husband, actor Rajeev Sen, were in the news for their much-talked-about divorce and have a three-year-old daughter, Ziana.
She was asked how her ex-husband Rajeev Sen responded to her move to Bikaner, Charu said, "He can always come visit his daughter in Bikaner. Before leaving Mumbai, I dropped a text informing him about my plans."
Charu said she was not shooting for any big projects in Mumbai anyway, and her focus is now on her daughter, Ziana.
"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 rather than a nanny," she told the publication.
Charu also plans to buy a house in Bikaner, but right now she is staying with her parents.
