New Delhi: 'Mahabharata' actor Nitish Bhardwaj, who portrayed Lord Krishna in the television series, has lodged a police complaint against his former spouse, Madhya Pradesh cadre IAS Smita Bhardwaj. The actor said in his complaint that Smita had been mentally abusing him for a considerable amount of time.
Nitish Bhardwaj wrote to Harinarayanachari Mishra, the commissioner of police in Bhopal, pleading for assistance. The actor claims that in addition to mentally abusing him, his ex-wife prevents him from seeing his twin daughters. The Bhopal Police Commissioner has directed a probe into the allegation made by Nitish Bhardwaj. Additional DCP Shalini Dixit has taken over as the investigation's supervisor.
Bhopal Police Commissioner Harinarayanachari Mishra confirmed this, stating, "We have received a complaint from Nitish Bhardwaj. We are investigating the matter and trying to find out the facts."
Nitish Bhardwaj portrayed Lord Krishna in the widely watched television series "Mahabharata." Because of his portrayal of Lord Krishna, he became well-known.
On March 14, 2009, Nitish Bhardwaj wed Smita, an IAS official from the Madhya Pradesh cadre. It is said that their mutual friends introduced them. The twin daughters born to them are currently eleven years old.
Nitish and Smita divorced in 2022, having been married for 12 years. They parted ways in 2019.
Nitish Bharadwaj filed for divorce in September 2019 at the Mumbai Family Court, he revealed in an interview with Bombay Times over his split from wife Smita. "I filed for a divorce in the Family Court in Mumbai in September 2019. I do not want to get into the reasons why we separated. The matter is in court right now. All I can say is that sometimes divorce can be more painful than death as you live with an amputated core," he said.
It is reported that after their divorce, Smita is living in Indore with their daughters.
