Sara Gurpal who entered the Bigg Boss 14 house three days ago, is already making headlines. Punjabi singer-model-actress' former husband Tushar Kumar came out in the open soon after the premiere episode on October 3 claiming that she is lying about her relationship status. Now, in an interview with a leading daily, Tushar alleged that Sara wasn't happy in their three-year-long marriage as she wasn't getting offers in the US. Stating that she didn't want to leave fame for marriage at an early age, Tushar said he sent Sara back to India but she never came back to him.
"She was not happy in the marriage because she was not getting work in the US and she did not want to live a normal life. And people here just don't sit at home. Everybody here goes to work or does something. The problem was being normal was not easy for her because people knew her in Punjab and she did not want to leave all that for marriage. I have never lived in India for long so we arrived at a common conclusion. I sent her to India and we decided that she will work there and in between when she doesn't have projects lined up, we can be together here. Another issue was we were very young and we did not think about the consequences. Even she was in just the early stage of her career. Till then she hadn't made it big in the industry. When we were together and she started getting work, for us it was like she will try in the industry if she gets success it would be awesome and if she doesn't it's ok we will be together. We were really young and we did not think about the future," Tushar said.

He continued saying, "We got married in 2014. She didn't come with me to the US because I had to apply for her visa. That's also why we decided to get married so quickly. It took a year and half to get her down here. We both knew it's not going to work. To be honest, till date, I don't know what exactly happened. I wonder if she married me for the US Visa. A lot of people in Punjab do that. People around the world do use others to get citizenship in a particular country."
Reacting to rumours of being abusive towards Sara, Tushar said it was because of Sara and her career ambitions, their relationship began to fall apart. "I was never abusive towards her. All was good between us and I have done all that a good husband can do. I am challenging her to sit in front of me and discuss it. I brought Sara here to the US, I took the entire responsibility. But the problem started when she came here and realised that Punjabi industry is not as grown here as it is in Canada or Punjab. She tried to get work here in America but had no luck. So, that was kind of getting in her head and I sent her to India on my expense. I organised her return ticket to India when she wanted to go there and try for work. After going to India she got a movie and that too a side role not a lead. That's when things started falling apart between us. It was all about fame. She chose fame over me and our marriage. I don't believe this abusive marriage claims. I don't know where they get these sources from; they haven't tried to reach out to me before publishing it. I have never heard anything as such from Sara and even I haven't made any such claims," he added.

He added that they aren't legally divorced but separated. "We were married for three years or so. We met in 2014 when she did a song and I knew the director so we started talking. We are not legally divorced but we are separated," Tushar told.
