Charu Asopa Leaves Mumbai Due To Financial Crunch: 'It Used To Get Extremely Difficult"

YouTuber and actor Charu Asopa has recently left Mumbai and relocated to her hometown Bikaner, Rajasthan, with her daughter Ziana. A recent video of Charu selling salwar kameez and sarees online surfaced on social media, prompting mixed reactions. While many extended support, others questioned her financial condition, commenting, "Sushmita Sen ki ex-bhabhi online suit bech kar kar rahi hai guzara."

"I Have Left Mumbai For Now..."

Charu has now confirmed to Hindustan Times that she's indeed selling clothes online. "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," she said.

"It Wasn't A Rushed Decision..."

Opening up about the move, Charu shared, "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 (Mumbai). It used to get extremely difficult. Moving back home and starting my own thing was completely planned; it wasn't a rushed decision."

"I Am Doing Everything On My Own..."

Responding to trolls and speculation about her finances, Charu added, "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."

"Rajeev Can Always Come To Visit His Daughter..."

Charu shares daughter Ziana with ex-husband Rajeev Sen. The former couple made headlines for their turbulent relationship and eventual divorce. Asked how Rajeev reacted to her move, she said, "He can always come to visit his daughter in Bikaner. Before leaving Mumbai, I dropped a text informing him about my plans."

Addressing the reason behind her decision to sell clothes online, Charu said, "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."
