The development comes days after Monalisa reportedly sought help at the Thampanoor Police Station, stating that her family was against the relationship and that her father was trying to take her back to their hometown against her wishes.According to police officials, Monalisa and Farman arrived at the station along with members of a film crew she was working with in Kerala. During the interaction, she reportedly told officers that she intended to stay with her partner and proceed with the marriage despite her family’s objections.A police officer was quoted as saying by India Today, “She insisted that she will not go with her father and made it clear that she plans to marry her boyfriend. Since she is a major, she has the right to make her own decisions.”Officials added that there was no need for police intervention as both individuals are adults. After the discussion, Monalisa left the station with her boyfriend and members of the film crew, while her father later returned to his hometown.

I am also an actor.”
