According to sources, Barsha has alleged that Anubhav is a habitual drunkard and he often drinks with his friends at home. The MP also assaulted and harassed her mentally, she alleged.

The actress further alleged that whenever she tried to prevent Anubhav from drinking, he would get violent and physically assault her and tried to throw her out of the house.
