Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta reflected on his relationship with Anuradha in a podcast interview recorded weeks before his death. He discussed their separation, the ties that kept them connected and the proposal that brought them back together after years apart.

A marriage interrupted by separation

Gupta said he and Anuradha separated after seven years of marriage because of problems in their relationship. The couple filed for divorce and remained apart for another seven years.

Despite the distance, their relationship did not disappear entirely. Gupta explained that their families continued to connect them, while the pets they shared also remained a link between them.

Connection endured through the years

The account offered a personal view of a relationship that continued to have a place in both their lives even after the marriage had broken down. Their ongoing contact eventually led Gupta to propose to Anuradha again after the seven-year separation.

His comments on the Hussain Zaidi Files podcast focused on the private circumstances behind their separation and reconciliation. The interview provided a rare account of how family relationships and shared responsibilities helped maintain contact during their years apart.
