"I came like a barricade in Sanju's life to stand between him and those who want to use him. Naturally, these fair-weather friends resent me. I spoilt their party, you see," she had said in an old interview. She had also threatened to name those who were misusing his accounts.

"I have the right to live with my husband the way I want to. It doesn't matter whether it's a prostitute or a princess, a wife has certain rights in her husband's home. I'm not a man living in a woman's house. His finances were being handled by the wrong people. There were so many irregularities in his accounts. If I open my mouth about it, no one will be spared," she had further said.
