Monalisa alleges sexual harassment by the director who launched her weeks after marriage to Farman

Monalisa, who shot to fame during the 2025 Kumbh Mela, has now found herself at the centre of a fresh controversy just weeks after her marriage with Farman. Monalisa, along with her husband Farman, held a press conference in Kochi where she accused an unnamed film director of serious misconduct and claimed the couple has been receiving death threats. She also appealed to the Central government and the Uttar Pradesh government for protection.

According to a PTI report, Monalisa said she and her husband are under pressure and fear for their safety. She told reporters that their posters were being burnt and they were receiving threats.

She urged authorities to step in and ensure their protection as the situation escalates around them.

“He misbehaves with minor girls,” Monalisa alleges

During the press interaction, Monalisa made strong allegations against a film director, claiming his behaviour was inappropriate.

She said the filmmaker had been speaking against her and questioning her credibility as an actor. Responding to that, she said, "Who wants to be a part of his films? He is such a bad and disgusting person. He misbehaves with minor girls in the name of films. I am even ashamed to utter his name," she alleged.

The director has not been named in the report.

Marriage row adds to tension

The controversy also appears to have deepened around Monalisa’s marriage. Addressing rumours and allegations, she defended her relationship with Farman.

She said, "We got married according to Hindu rites at a temple. Everyone in the country knows that. The director wishes that people should fight each other. He is calling our marriage a love-jihad. I respect all religions."

Her husband also claimed that he was being labelled unfairly amid the ongoing dispute.

“We will commit suicide,” couple warns

In an emotional moment during the press conference, Monalisa issued a stark warning over any attempt to separate her from her husband.

She said, "If any attempt is made to separate me from Farman (her husband), we will commit suicide. I cannot live without him. We love each other a lot," she said.

From Kumbh fame to controversy

Monalisa had become widely known after videos of her during the 2025 Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj went viral on social media. Her sudden popularity opened doors in the entertainment space, but it has also drawn intense public attention and scrutiny.

The couple had recently travelled to Kerala in connection with a film shoot, where the latest developments unfolded.
