Singer Kumar Sanu has reportedly taken a legal route against his ex-wife Rita Bhattacharya. This comes after Rita recently made allegations against him, accusing the singer of mistreating her and their children.

Lawyer highlights Kumar Sanu’s long music legacy
Defending the veteran singer’s career and reputation, lawyer Sana Raees Khan said, “For over 40 years, Mr Kumar Sanu has poured his soul into music, giving joy to millions and earning love and respect across the world. Hurtful Lies may create noise for a moment, but they can never erase the legacy of an artist who has given a lifetime of music and memories to generations.”

The lawyer added that they will firmly counter any attempt to defame the singer. She stated, “We will ensure that malicious attempts to defame him are met with the full force of the law to protect his dignity, legacy and family honour. No individual or media platform has the right to malign a father’s honour or trade his family’s respect for sensationalism.
