| What could have been a day to kick off a new life for TV actress Kamya Punjabi turned into a nightmare.
Kamya has been seeing Sanjay Dutt's cousin Nimai Bali since October 2006, and they'd even made plans to move in together on Tuesday (February 20).
But Nimai's wife, actress Sahila Chaddha, found out about their plans and threatened to kill Kamya if she didn't leave her husband alone.
Blame the wife
Kamya's says, "On Tuesday, Nimai decided to leave Sahila and move in with me. I was waiting in a car outside his home in Seven Bungalows, while he went to inform Sahila about his decision.
Sahila came running out of the house and created a big scene. She had a major showdown with me and said that she would kill me.
She called me a whore and broke the windshield of my car. Nimai has been in an unhappy marriage with her, so what right does she have to behave this way with me?"
Refusing to take the blame for Nimai's marriage breaking up, Kamya explains, "Sahila is an aggressive woman, and they've been having problems for a long time.
When Nimai went to say goodbye, she used her daughter to emotionally blackmail him. She's taken out her fury on her daughter in the past too. I don't know what exactly happened inside but after that, Nimai got very scared.
I told him that it is better if we control ourselves and take a step back. The decision has been taken for the welfare of his child."
Kamya, who has just split from her husband Bunty Negi, adds, "Bunty has gone to town stating that I was dating Nimai before we parted ways.
That is a lie. Bunty and I parted ways in August, while Nimai and I got together only in October. I have been covering up Bunty's aggressive and over-possessive behaviour, but I am now admitting that he used to physically abuse me often.
He would even come to the sets, tear my clothes and take me home forcibly. He didn't want me to work in this industry."
I don't care
Kamya is unapologetic about her relationship with the much-married Nimai. "I am no longer afraid to admit that I love Nimai and he feels the same for me.
So what if he is married? So what if he has a five-year-old daughter? You can't help who you fall in love with. It could be a married man or an older man; you can't decide who you will fall in love with."
Kamya says that an hour before, Sahila went berserk, Nimai had even met her parents. "We were going to start living together from Tuesday and my parents have no reservations about him.
They are happy with my decision. But I guess I am always going to be unlucky in love," Kamya concludes. Sahila and Nimai remained unavailable for comment despite repeated attempts. |
