What's the story
Veteran actor Kunickaa Sadanand, who was recently evicted from Bigg Boss 19, has clarified her decision to speak about her personal life on the show.

Personal life
Sadanand's candid revelations about relationships and motherhood
Sadanand spoke about her relationships on the show, including a live-in relationship with singer Kumar Sanu. She said, "I hid my secret relationship for 27 years, never commented on it. I have spoken about it now, and I feel so light." The actor also opened up about being a single mother and her elder son's custody battle.
Family dynamics
Sadanand's perspective on divorce and custody battle
Sadanand emphasized that her divorces were not bitter and she respects her ex-husbands. "It's not necessary that if you go through a divorce, it has to be bitter." "I had two divorces, which were not bitter; the custody battle was bad, though, but we came out of it strongly." She revealed she fought for her child's custody for nine years after getting divorced at a young age.
Custody battle
Sadanand's son understood her after he turned 18
Sadanand shared that her ex-husband was wealthy but she had to earn her way in Mumbai, shoot for days, and then run to the Delhi court. "One day, my son told me, 'Please, one of you give up because my studies are getting severely affected.'" "[On] 16th July 1991, I still remember coming out of the court and saying I will not fight anymore." Meanwhile, fans can watch Bigg Boss 19 on JioHotstar and Colors TV.
