Actor Charu Asopa recently opened up about the constant judgement she faces for her fashion choices and glamorous photoshoots. As a single mother to her daughter Ziana, Charu feels that people are quick to judge her based on her appearance and are harsher with their comments because of her marital status.
Charu revealed that she lost her pregnancy weight within a year and a half of her daughter’s birth and has recently lost 10 kilos in four months. She believes that her physical transformation and fashion choices are being misinterpreted by some as a sign of her impending divorce from her husband, actor Rajeev Sen.
“People comment that ‘Jaise jaise divorce ka date paas aa raha hai, waise waise kapde chote hote ja rahe hain’ (as the divorce date is getting near, her clothes are getting shorter),” Charu shared in a recent interview. “I used to wear such clothes before as well, but then it was fine. But now it’s not because I am a single mother.”
Charu feels that being a mother doesn’t mean that she has to give up her life or compromise on her individuality. She believes that she can be a good mother and a good friend to her daughter, and that her fashion choices should not be a reflection of her parenting skills.
“I can be a friend to Ziana as well besides being her mother, so she could share everything with me,” Charu said. “You don’t have to live life a certain way. And you can’t judge someone’s character based on their clothes.”
Charu and Rajeev got married in 2019 and welcomed their daughter in 2021. The couple has faced several ups and downs in their relationship, and last year they were on the brink of separation but decided to give their marriage another chance. However, they have now decided to part ways.
Charu’s message is an important one for all mothers who feel that they have to sacrifice their individuality or personal lives for the sake of their children. Being a mother is a beautiful and challenging experience, but it doesn’t mean that one has to compromise on their identity or their dreams. Charu’s words are a reminder that every individual deserves to live life on their own terms, irrespective of their marital or parental status.
