Businessman and actor Rajeev Sen, younger brother of Sushmita Sen and husband of television actress Charu Asopa, recently addressed criticism from trolls who accused him of relying on his sister's wealth. Rajeev shared a video on his YouTube channel where he responded to the comments and explained that he is doing well on his own and runs his own jewellery business. He mentioned that he has earned his money through hard work and smart investing. His recent interest in acting and making YouTube videos comes from passion, not because he needs the money. He also said he feels lucky to be Sushmita Sen’s brother and is very proud of her. At the same time, he added that he doesn’t need to be a big star to show his value.
Responding to the hater, Rajeev said, "I am here in this world because of them. I would like to highlight this and pinpoint this- that many haters comment saying that ‘You live off your sister’s money. This is your mother’s house. You are living a lavish life because of your parents. I want to clarify once and for all that I don’t need to be a superstar to prove my worth — like saying, ‘Look, I’ve done 10 films, I’ve done so many ads, I’ve achieved this, and that makes me successful.’ No. There are many people who have successful businesses. There are a lot of people who are successful investors. And they don’t need to show everything in front of the camera."
In his video, he spoke about his jewellery business and thanked his parents for backing him in life, "Mera ek successful jewellery business hai since long. Yes, I am fortunate that a lot of it was given to me because it was my company, it was my parents' company. A lot of it was given on a plate to me but even in that scenario, I had to prove myself. That I can sell jewellery. And I've been selling jewellery for a long time. Acting yaa production or YouTube just happened now. This is just passion related that I can afford to give time because I have other ventures. I am a successful investor. I don't need to show anyone my portfolio that looks like I've done so much in the last 5 years. Maine apne dum pe bohot paise kamaaye hain and I am very proud of that fact."
He added, "Yes, my parents have given me a certain amount on the plate when it comes to work for me and I'm thankful for that. This house is also my mom's house. If tomorrow my mom tells me to get out, I will get out. I’ll be on the street. Yes, the assets I own personally are mine. But I will never claim that I earned this house with my own hard work. This house belongs to my mom, and it’s the result of her hard work."
Rajeev concluded by saying that the trolls doesn't affect him and he doesn't need to be a superstar to prove his success, "And even if, just assume for a moment that I’m living a luxurious life, that my mom is signing cheques for me every month, my dad is giving me money, my sister is giving me cheques and telling me to enjoy life even if that's true, what's your problem? If I'm a content creator, then enjoy my vlogs. If I'm showing my house or something lavish, am I taking money from your pocket? No, right? So please! It doesn’t matter to me what you think. My small circle of friends is my family – my parents, close friends, and the people who genuinely love me. They are the ones who matter the most. I don’t need to be Shah Rukh Khan, or Salman Khan to prove that I am successful."
