“This is what she used to tell us. I can’t confirm whether she was telling truth or not as she was a well known fantasist,” Sanghvi told India Today Group Managing Editor Rahul Kanwal.

“She (Indrani) told us that she came from a prosperous family in Assam. She told us that her father left her and mother following which her mother married her father’s brother. Her step father molested her and her mother did little to protect her. Indrani told us that it was because of her step father, she had to leave her house and move to Kolkata,” Sanghvi described.

Sanghvi also said, “Mukherjeas used to bring Sheena Bora to every party and introduced her as Indrani’s step sister.”

Explaining the kind of image Peter and Indrani Mukherjea had in INX Media, Sanghvi said “the whole industry used to call them Bunty and Babli,” adding “Indrani was a strange person in many ways. I always saw them as a team. They had their own script.”
