Divorce Announced on Birthday
On 20 March 2025, coinciding with Susmita’s 36th birthday, she and Sabyasachi announced their separation via a joint social media statement. Sabyasachi posted: “Stay well. Grow even more. My final birthday wish to you—may this new chapter be positive.” He confirmed the separation, explaining, “We are parting ways. Some things didn’t align, and both of us are unhappy. Let us move forward.” He requested that the public refrain from discussions about their private matters and clarified that the decision was mutual.
Even Susmita’s brother-in-law, actor Sayak Chakraborty, acknowledged the divorce, stating: “Problems arose between them. They tried to resolve these issues, but ultimately it could not work out. They had considered divorce once before, resolved it temporarily, but ultimately separation was inevitable.”
New Beginnings
Following the divorce, Susmita shared news of her new marriage on 18 March via social media. Posting a photograph from the wedding, she wrote: “This desire has never left my heart. I hoped to hear one word—‘Mother’. At 36, there is no time for pretence or false consolation. I have married…please bless me all.”
Fresh Allegations
Despite moving forward, Susmita recently reignited public interest by sharing a screenshot of a chat with her ex-husband in which she alleges she received threats. During a live session, she detailed her past relationships, admitting multiple marriages and personal experiences, while asserting that Sabyasachi maintained extramarital relationships even during their marriage. She further claimed that his family opposed the idea of her raising a child, prompting her decision to divorce.
Sabyasachi responded with a lengthy post, stating: “This was Susmita’s fifth marriage. I endured suspicion, conflicts, and physical altercations. Her behaviour caused repeated tensions. Financially, we were not in a strong position, yet she took advantage repeatedly. She even produced a web series funded by me. Susmita has always sought wealth and status.”
Social media reactions have been mixed, with some urging the couple to leave the past behind and focus on their careers and current relationships, while others continue to debate the allegations.
Susmita’s ongoing revelations and the accusations against her ex-husband continue to dominate discussion within Tollywood and online, raising questions about privacy, accountability, and the pressures faced by public figures navigating personal crises.
