Personal life

Sinha married her neighbor, a Tamil Brahmin named Venkateshwaran Iyer, in 1968 and adopted a daughter, Jhanvi, in 1989.[1] The next few years were spent in taking care of Jhanvi and her ailing husband, who eventually died in 1996.[16] She then moved to Sydney, met the elderly Australian doctor, Netaji Bhimrao Salunke, online in 2001, and married him after a quick courtship, in a small temple wedding.[16] On 9 January 2009, she filed a complaint with the police accusing Salunkhe of physical and mental torture.[16] They were divorced soon afterwards, and after a protracted battle, she won her case against him for maintenance.[17]

Death

On 15 August 2019, Sinha died at a hospital in Mumbai of respiratory failure caused by heart and lung disease at the age of 71.[7] She had been admitted to the hospital on 11 August for breathing problems and subsequently put on a ventilator.[3]
