Bengali actor and Khargpur MLA Hiran Chatterjee has tied the knot for the second time, this time with model Ritika Giri in a ceremony held in Varanasi. The wedding was conducted with Vedic rituals, and photos from the event quickly went viral on social media, sparking a flurry of reactions and discussions.
In response to the news of her ex-husband’s second marriage, Hiran’s first wife, Anindita Chatterjee, expressed her feelings publicly. Anindita revealed that she came across the wedding photos online, stating that she had no prior information about the marriage. She claimed that the union was illegal and asserted that the marriage would not hold any validity.
Reflecting on her relationship with Hiran, Anindita shared that the couple married on December 11, 2000, and initially had a happy marriage. However, things took a turn after Hiran won the assembly election in 2021 as the BJP candidate from Khargpur. Rumors began circulating about Hiran being in a relationship with another woman shortly after he assumed office, which Anindita initially dismissed as mere gossip. However, as time passed, she realized the situation was more serious than she had thought.
Describing her emotional turmoil, Anindita revealed that Hiran was involved with a woman who is two years older than their daughter, a fact that she found difficult to digest. Following a separation in 2022, Anindita has been living apart from Hiran but noted that he still visited occasionally to see their daughter. During these visits, Hiran would share stories, claiming he was being threatened and harassed by Ritika Giri, which led Anindita to invite him to stay with them.
Despite the surrounding chaos, Anindita recounted a time in 2024 when Hiran joined them for their daughter’s 18th birthday celebration in Bangkok. However, during that same period, she received a call from Ritika, who threatened her, further complicating the situation. Anindita expressed her pain and frustration, labeling Hiran’s decision to remarry as a significant mistake.
In an attempt to quell the rumors surrounding her marriage to Hiran, Ritika Giri took to social media to assert her position. She clarified that she is not of a young age and claimed that Hiran had formally sent a divorce notice to his first wife long ago, thereby legitimizing their marriage. However, shortly after sharing wedding photos, Ritika deleted them, adding another layer of intrigue to the unfolding drama.
The controversial marriage has drawn significant media attention, with many speculating on the implications for Hiran’s political career and personal life. As this story continues to develop, the reactions from both parties highlight the complexities of relationships intertwined with public life.
