Monalisa Bhosle, widely known online as the “Kumbh Mela girl,” married her partner Farman Khan in a ceremony held in Thiruvananthapuram, bringing an end to days of uncertainty surrounding their relationship.

Monalisa Seeks Police Protection Amid Family Dispute
Before the marriage took place, Monalisa had approached the Thampanoor Police Station seeking help. According to officials, she reported that her family opposed the relationship and that her father was trying to take her back to their hometown against her wishes, as per reports.
Monalisa arrived at the station accompanied by Farman and members of a film crew she had been working with in the state. Officers said she clearly expressed her intention to marry him and refused to leave with her father. Police confirmed that since Monalisa is an adult, there were no legal grounds to stop her from making her own decision. Their role, they said, was limited to ensuring that her safety was not compromised during the dispute.
Tensions Rise During Film Shoot
The situation intensified while Monalisa was working on her debut Malayalam film Nagamma in Poovar, a coastal town in Kerala. Reports indicate that her father located her there and attempted to forcibly take her home.
Following her complaint, police summoned her father to the station and clarified that, at 18 years old, she had the legal right to decide whom to marry and where to live.
After the discussion, Monalisa left the police station with Farman, and the couple proceeded with their wedding plans.
Political Leaders Attend Ceremony
The wedding quickly attracted attention in Kerala, with several prominent political leaders attending the ceremony in support of the couple. Among those present were V. Sivankutty, M. V. Govindan, and Member of Parliament A. A. Rahim. Sivankutty described the event as “the real Kerala story.”
Monalisa appeared at the ceremony in a red saree with sindoor, while Farman wore a traditional white shirt and mundu, reflecting Kerala’s customary attire.
