“On February 13, 2024, Nitish Bharadwaj purposely avoided meeting children. And a day later, on Feb 14, he held a press conference, alleging I was not letting him meet the children, without even considering the impact on the kids. On Saturday, 17th February 2024, Nitish met his daughters at our residence in the presence of family friends as well as the police officer. The visit lasted for about 30 minutes, at the end of which the daughters were left in tears.”
Smita also revealed that Nitish never provided financial support to their daughters ever since their birth. She added that she was the one responsible for bringing up their children and looking after their expenses. Talking about the same, she added:
“Since birth, the father has provided zero financial contribution towards the expense of bringing up children. Neither he has ever paid the school fees nor provided any maintenance amount to support them, despite the legal obligation.”
