“Our calls to her on Saturday went unanswered. Later, Santosh broke the news to us. We came to know from the landlord of the house that Santosh and Rashmi lived as husband-wife. We had no idea about that,” he said.

Ojha, who hailed from Jagatsinghpur district, shot to fame in the Odia television industry with her role in daily soap ‘Kemiti Kahibi Kaha’.
