Mumbai, Jan 22 (.) The Bombay High Court restrained playback singer Kumar Sanu’s ex-wife, Rita Bhattacharya, from making defamatory statements or remarks and also a few media houses for allegedly writing, speaking, posting, publishing and disseminating defamatory, false or slanderous statements about him and his family.
In an order passed on Jan 21, Justice Milind Jadhav, granted an interim stay while hearing a Rs 50 crore defamation suit filed by Sanu against Bhattacharya and others.
Court in its order held that prima facie, after perusing the statements, it appears that there was a “clear personal tirade” by Bhattacharya against Sanu.
Sanu in his petition contended that Bhattacharya in her September 2025 interviews on several YouTube channels, allegedly made scandalous remarks about his conduct during their marriage and which were widely circulated through clips and reels.
The court has kept the matter for further hearing on January 28.
