Charu Asopa, formerly married to Rajeev Sen, has relocated to her hometown Bikaner with her daughter Ziana, citing Mumbai's high cost of living as a major factor. She's now running an online clothing business, managing everything from orders to shipping. Charu informed Rajeev about the move, aiming to co-parent effectively despite their past challenges.

Actress Charu Asopa, who was once married to Sushmita Sen’s brother Rajeev Sen, has made a big life decision, leaving the hustle and bustle of Mumbai behind. The actress has now moved back to her hometown, Bikaner in Rajasthan, with her daughter Ziana.
A recent video of Charu surfaced online, where she was seen selling salwar kameez and sarees on social media. While many praised her efforts and showed support, some questioned her situation, saying, “Sushmita Sen ki ex-bhabhi online suit bech kar kar rahi hai guzara.�?br/>Now, Charu has opened up about her move and what led to it.
‘I have left Mumbai for now�?/span>
Confirming the news, Charu told Hindustan Times, “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.�?br/>She said the decision was well thought-out, not something she did in a rush. The biggest factor? The high cost of living in Mumbai. “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 (outskirts of Mumbai). It used to get extremely difficult. Moving back home and starting my own thing was completely planned; it wasn’t a rushed decision.�?br/>
Starting over as a businesswoman
Charu has now started selling clothes online from her hometown. From taking orders to packing and shipping items, she’s doing it all by herself. “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.�?br/>She further added, “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.�?br/>
‘I dropped a text to Rajeev�?/span>
Charu shares her daughter Ziana with ex-husband Rajeev Sen. Their relationship made headlines in the past due to its ups and downs, and the two eventually divorced. Speaking about informing Rajeev about her move, Charu said, “He can always come visit his daughter in Bikaner. Before leaving Mumbai, I dropped a text informing him about my plans.�?Though they are no longer together, she’s trying to maintain healthy co-parenting for the sake of Ziana.
Charu recently shared a heartfelt post on her Instagram account, showing pictures from her train journey back to Bikaner. In the photos, she’s seen spending quality time with Ziana, with a caption that read, “New chapter of life begins.�?br/>

After confirming her departure from Mumbai, Charu Asopa re-shared a heartfelt post on her Instagram stories, offering a glimpse into her current state of mind. The post read, “Believe that some things have to end for better things to happen,�?reflecting a sense of acceptance and hope. It seems the actress is bidding farewell to a difficult phase and looking ahead to new beginnings. Her message hints at emotional closure, with optimism for brighter days and a fresh chapter in life.
