Personal life and controversies
Srabanti has always been in the centre of controversies. She got married thrice. The last marriage with a cabin-crew Roshan Singh, ended bitterly by which Roshan alleged emotional abuse by her which includes body shaming and sexual shaming from her, spreading false rumors against him and demanding alimony from him. Now she was rumored to date her housing resident, businessman Avirup Nag Chowdhury. While shooting for a film in 2022, she posted on her social media account pictures of herself posing with a mongoose pup in chains and separated from its mother. Some netizens lambasted her for chaining an animal and yet professing love for it. The Wildlife Crime Control cell of West Bengal issued her a notice on 15 February under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, to present herself before the range officer (RO) as offences involving the mongoose attract the longest jail terms and are non-bailable. In 2023, she landed in another controversy after fitness enthusiasts lodged complaint against a gym co-owned by her by which she denied any involvement in the issue.
