Television actress Charu Asopa grabbed headlines after a video of her selling clothes online went viral, drawing both attention and criticism. She later revealed that she moved to her hometown, Bikaner in Rajasthan, with her three-year-old daughter Ziana due to the high cost of living in Mumbai. Earlier today, Charu hit back at trolls over the viral video, clarifying that she is not living in 'poverty'.
The 37-year-old actress said on her YouTube video, "Last 3-4 days se, meine ek video daala tha jisme mein apne cotton suits Charu's Closet pe showcase kar rahi thi. Woh video sabne itna viral kar diya, but viral isliye kiya kyunki uske upar likha tha, 'Bechari Charu suit bech ke guzara kar rahi hai aur Mumbai chhod ke ja rahi hai as she is in financial crisis.'" Further, she revealed that she is not doing any daily soaps in Mumbai as her daughter Ziana is very small.
Check out the video:
Charu shared that she has been acting since 2009 and it remains her passion. She clarified that she has not quit acting but is only moving out of Mumbai for the sake of her daughter, as her priorities have now changed
"Ek time tha jab sirf kaam important tha, lekin aaj meri beti se zyada important kuch nahi hai. Isiliye mein yeh jagah chhod rahi hoon, kyunki Mumbai bohot expensive hai. Aur agar mein daily soaps nahi kar rahi hoon, toh yaha rehne ka koi matlab nahi banta," she added.
Charu added, "Aisa nahi hai ki bohot gareebi mein mera jeevan ho raha tha, jiss tarah logon ne potray kiya hai. Agar future mein mujhe kuch acting ka aata hai, meine Bikaner se Mumbai aa sakti hoon."
