Rinki | In 1961, Rinki married film director [[Basu Bhattacharya]] (1934–1997). The couple had three children together: a son [[Aditya Bhattacharya]] (b. 1965), who is a film director, and two daughters, Chimmu Bhattacharya and Anwesha Arya, the latter a writer. In a 1984 interview with journalist [[Madhu Kishwar]] for the publication ''Manushi,'' Rinki revealed that she had left her husband in 1982 and alleged that she had suffered domestic abuse. The couple were formally divorced in 1990.<ref>[http://www.telegraphindia.com/1040530/asp/look/story_3298955.asp Can you beat that?] [[The Telegraph (Kolkata)|Telegraph]], 30 May 2004.</ref> She lives in [[Bandra]], Mumbai.<ref>{{cite web | title = First in Mirror: Enter Roy’s world|work= Mumbai Mirror| url = http://www.mumbaimirror.com/mumbai/others/First-in-Mirror-Enter-Roys-world/articleshow/36861885.cms|author=Reema Gehi|date= 20 June 2014 | accessdate = 7 September 2014 }}</ref> | ||
Rinki has also had a history of discord with her mother and siblings. Following the death of her father in 1966, Rinki disputed with her mother and siblings, filing cases in court against them on the basis of legal technicalities. Her family reached a settlement with her in preference to spending years in litigation, and Riinki thus received an enhanced share of her father's property. | |||
