Kumar Sanu allegedly had an affair with actress Kunickaa Sadanand during his career peak. In a recent interview, Kunickaa shared that they met while she was starting her acting career and formed a strong bond when they crossed paths in Ooty, where she was shooting and he was vacationing.
In an interview with Siddharth Kanan, the actress revealed that during this time, Kumar Sanu was going through a tough relationship with his wife, Rita. On their trip to Ooty, where he was with his sister and nephew, he became very drunk and tried to jump out of the hotel window due to his depression. Kunickaa and others managed to stop him, and this incident strengthened their bond.
After returning, Kumar Sanu separated from his wife, and his relationship with Kunickaa grew stronger. They lived near each other, and she began helping him with fitness and fashion. Their relationship lasted for nearly five years, but they kept it private in Mumbai. Kunickaa described herself as feeling like a wife to him.
During this time, Kumar Sanu’s wife was upset with him for not sending money for their children. She blamed Kunickaa when payments were delayed and even damaged her car with a hockey stick. Kunickaa understood her frustration, acknowledging that the wife needed money for the children and didn’t want to reconcile with Sanu.
Kunickaa and Kumar Sanu eventually parted ways, and he moved on with his life. He later married his current wife, Saloni, and they have two daughters together.
