Hiran Chatterjee's Daughter Niyasa Breaks Down Over Father's 'Illegal' Second Marriage
Actor and politician Hiran Chatterjee's recent marriage to model Ritika Giri has sparked a family crisis, with his daughter Niyasa Chatterjee publicly expressing her anguish and support for her mother, Anindita Chatterjee. The private ceremony in Varanasi came as a shock to many, including his immediate family, who learned about it through social media rather than directly from Hiran.
Emotional Outburst from Niyasa Chatterjee
Niyasa Chatterjee, 19, shared her emotional turmoil after discovering her father's remarriage online. She revealed that her mother called her to check her phone, where she saw screenshots of the wedding pictures sent by friends. "What can I, as a daughter, even say? I found out through social media," she said, adding that the experience left her mentally shattered. Niyasa contrasted her father's actions with those of her friends' fathers, expressing confusion and hurt over the situation.
Later, she posted an Instagram reel praising her mother, captioning it: "As far as I can remember, from the very beginning we've both relied on each other. You have carried every role in life on your own with incredible strength, love, and dignity. You are my mother, my father, my guide, and my biggest support. Thank you for everything. You are my hero, Mom."
Legal Complaints and Family Tensions
Following the marriage, Anindita Chatterjee filed a complaint against Hiran, accusing him of torture and marrying Ritika without legally divorcing her. On Wednesday evening, Anindita and Niyasa jointly filed a case against Hiran and Ritika at a police station. Anindita, married to Hiran since December 11, 2000, stated she had endured torture for a long time but remained silent for the sake of their daughter and family.
Ritika Giri claimed that Anindita was aware of their relationship, but Anindita denied this, calling the allegations false. She mentioned that during the 2021 election campaign, Ritika was present as a party worker, and whispers about their affair circulated, though Hiran's face was never clearly shown in social media pictures.
Broader Implications and Family Dynamics
The controversy highlights deeper issues within the family, with Hiran reportedly not contacting his first family since the news broke. Niyasa emphasized in an interview that her father should have been the one to inform her, saying, "For me, my father can only be married to my mother. I really do not know how to handle the situation." This incident has not only affected the Chatterjee family but also drawn attention from fans and the public, raising questions about personal responsibilities and legalities in such high-profile cases.
The situation remains complex, with emotional, legal, and social dimensions intertwining as the family navigates this challenging period.
