Monalisa Bhosle, who rose to fame during the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, is a minor, so her recent marriage to Farman Khan is under scrutiny. The Khargone police in Madhya Pradesh have registered a case under the POCSO Act against her husband. He was also booked under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, according to an India Today report.
Monalisa, widely known as the viral ‘Maha Kumbh girl’, married her boyfriend on March 11 under police protection, declaring that she was ’18 years old’.
However, official hospital documents revealed that Monalisa was born on December 30, 2009, making her 16 years, 2 months and 12 days old at the time of her wedding on March 11 this year, the report said.
All about marriage
Monalisa and Farman Khan tied the knot at the Arumanoor Temple in Thiruvananthapuram. The wedding ceremony was held in the Gurumandiram, located outside the temple premises. Hundreds of people including CPI(M) state secretary MV Govindan, Kerala minister V Sivankutty and CPI(M) district secretary AA Rahim attended the event.
After the wedding, the couple interacted with the media and shared their love story. “We decided to get married in Kerala at this place because we like the Nayanar temple. The people of Kerala are very nice,” said Farman. “People are very supportive. We dated for six months,” Monalisa added.
Who is Monalisa Bhonsle?
Monalisa, who spent years selling garlands at the Kila Ghat on the banks of the Narmada river, had a life-changing moment when a content creator filmed her selling rudraksha garlands during the Mahakumbh.
Despite her humble origins, her striking features – especially her striking eyes – caught the attention of social media users and quickly made her a viral sensation. Her photos and videos were widely shared across platforms, catapulting her into the limelight and becoming a widely recognized personality online.
Her sudden online fame soon opened doors to the entertainment industry. Filmmaker Sanoj Mishra later offered her a role in his upcoming film The Diary of Manipur, which is slated to release in April, according to IMDb.
Before entering films, Bhonsle used to travel from Indore to Prayagraj to sell garlands during the festival and earn a living. After her viral rise, she returned to Indore for acting training and later moved to Mumbai to pursue opportunities in the film industry.
Who is Monalisa’s husband, Farman Khan?
Hailing from Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat district, Farman Khan is said to be an actor and model, according to several media reports. In an interview with the press after their wedding, Monalisa shared that they were in a relationship for six months. They first connected through social media before finally meeting on the set of a movie.
