Actor Indraneil Sengupta who recently marked his OTT presence with the new web series ‘Human’ recently addressed rumours of his separation from wife and actress Barkha Sengupta. Showbiz galore is abuzz with speculations that Indraneil and Barkha’s marital life is going through a tough phase. The duo has been living separately for a long time now. In an interaction with Hindustan Times Indraneil said, “First of all I would not like to comment on my personal life. I am a very closed person. I keep my life very private. I have never thought of answering people, trying to explain. It is none of their business.”
“There will be a lot of chaos and lot of noise always. I keep quiet. Sometimes it will be about your work, sometimes about your personal life. As an actor my work is for public consumption, Indraneil Sengupta is not for public consumption. I will not let that happen at all,” he added.
So how does all this impact their 10-year-old daughter Meera? “I think she is very smart she is very intelligent,” he elaborates, “She does not get overwhelmed by the fact that we are both public and the kind of attention we get. She does not like attention herself. I don’t think it has bothered her at all.”For now, Sengupta is focusing all his energies into his work and hopes to consolidate on the success of his two web projects.“It has been a long wait. With both the shows doing so well and me getting great feedback, it is a great feeling. I feel OTT is a blessing. Mostly all actors would always say cinema is a better medium than TV in terms of creative satisfaction, in terms opportunity to grow. What happens in cinema is great, but cinema has also limited opportunity for actors. Not so many cinemas are being made and so the amount of actors getting absorbed in cinemas is lesser. Everyone aspired to get into cinemas but many don’t get the chance. That gap has been filled by OTT,” he ends.
