Monalisa Bhosle Viral Video: The “Mahakumbh girl” is once again trending online after news of her marriage to Farman Khan went viral.

The couple got married on March 11 at the Arumanoor Sri Nainaar Deva Temple in Kerala. The wedding was performed according to Hindu rituals.

She said, “My parents wanted to get me married to my aunt’s son, and I did not want to marry him as he is like a brother to me.”
She further added, “I got married according to Hindu rituals. It is not ‘love jihad’. I respect all religions and consider every religion equal.”

Monalisa Bhosle is originally from Indore, while Farman Khan is from Maharashtra. Reports say the two met on Facebook about six months ago. Their friendship slowly turned into a relationship. Later, they travelled to Kerala for film-related work, where they decided to get married.
The situation became serious when Monalisa Bhosle’s family opposed the relationship. On Wednesday, the couple went to the Thampanoor police station in Thiruvananthapuram and asked for protection. According to reports, her father tried to take her back to Madhya Pradesh against her wishes.
Police officials told the family that Monalisa Bhosle is an adult and has the right to decide whom she wants to marry. However, her father, Jaisingh Bhonsle, claimed that she was brought to Kerala in the name of acting opportunities and may have been influenced.
Her uncle also shared his concerns with reporters. He said the family is not well educated and fears that she may have been affected by “black magic”. This statement quickly spread online along with the viral video clips of the couple.

Monalisa Bhosle and Farman Khan said their relationship became stronger during a film shoot in Poovar, Kerala. They had completed one film and were preparing for another project when they decided to get married.
Farman explained the reason for choosing Kerala for the wedding. “We planned to get married here because everyone lives in harmony and supports each other,” he said.
State minister V. Sivankutty also reacted to the issue. He called the incident an example of social harmony and said it shows that people in Kerala can live freely. He described it as “the real Kerala story where people can live freely.”
Despite the controversy, Monalisa Bhosle has clearly said that the decision to marry was hers alone. She said her journey from viral fame to getting film opportunities has given her the confidence to make her own choices.
