# Kumar Sanu Scores Major Legal Victory: Bombay High Court Slaps Gag Order on Ex-Wife in ₹50 Crore Defamation Battle! **In a stunning courtroom twist**, legendary Bollywood playback singer Kumar Sanu has secured interim relief from the Bombay High Court, which issued a gag order against his ex-wife Rita Bhattacharya, halting her from making further defamatory statements amid a high-stakes ₹50 crore defamation lawsuit.[2][1][3] Imagine the voice behind timeless hits like *Tujhe Dekha To* suddenly facing reputational ruin from explosive YouTube interviews. That's the drama unfolding with Kumar Sanu, whose legal team argued that Rita's September 2025 chats on channels like Film Window, Viral Bhayani, and Siddharth Kannan crossed into "personal tirade" territory. Justice Milind Jadhav agreed, noting the interviews went "beyond fair comment" with false allegations about Sanu's marital conduct, pregnancy neglect, and extramarital affairs—claims that racked up over 1.5 million views via viral clips and reels.[2][5][6] The fallout? Canceled international shows, a flood of abusive social media comments, and plummeting work inquiries, causing "immense personal, financial, and professional loss," as per Sanu's advocate Sana Raees Khan.[1][3] Despite being legally separated for over 32 years, the court restrained Rita and certain media houses from posting, speaking, or publishing any slanderous content about Sanu or his family until the next hearing on January 28.[1][4][5] Mediation remains an open door, especially after Rita's counsel highlighted their son's recent wedding.[4] This isn't Sanu's first rodeo protecting his image—the Delhi High Court previously safeguarded his personality rights. Fans are buzzing: Is this the end of the public mudslinging, or just round one in a saga that's gripped Bollywood?
