Jaan Kumar Sanu, son of popular singer Kumar Sanu and one of the contestants of “Bigg Boss 14”, said that he was raised by his mother, Rita Bhattacharya, after his parents separated when she was six months pregnant.
“For me, my mother plays the role of both parents. My parents separated when my mother was six months pregnant with me hence I have grown up with her only since childhood,” said Jaan while opening up about his bond with his mother in “Bigg Boss Extra Masala”, which is available on Colors channel and Voot.
He was talking to co-contestants Jasmin Bhasin, Sara Gurpal, and others.
“My mom is both a mother and a father to me. Before entering the Bigg Boss House, what worried me most was that who will now take care of my mother. My thinking when it comes to love is old school because of my mom, I feel love only happens with one person and we should only be with one person. I am just like my mother,” he added.
Rita and Kumar Sanu have three sons together, Jessy, Jeeko, and Jaan. His parents legally separated in 1994.
Apart from Jaan, the contestants for this year also include actor couple Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla, actor Eijaz Khan, Jasmin Bhasin, Nishant Singh Malkhani, Pavitra Punia, singer Rahul Vaidya, model Shehzad Deol, singer-model Sara Gurpal, and south actor Nikki Tamboli.
