Mumbai: Monalisa Bhosle, who is known as ‘Kumbh Mela Girl’, who sold garlands and Rudraksh in Prayagraj during Mahakumbh 2025, is once again in the headlines. Monalisa has made serious allegations of sexual harassment against film director Sanoj Mishra. She says that when she was a minor, Mishra repeatedly behaved inappropriately with her on the film sets.

Serious allegations against the director

Monalisa revealed this at a press conference in Kochi along with her husband, actor Farman Khan. He told that these incidents happened in Nepal and Dehradun during the shooting of the film ‘The Diary of Manipur’. At that time Monalisa was less than 18 years old. He said, ‘The director touched inappropriately and made unwanted physical contact. When I told my family, they didn’t take it seriously. He said this is my first film, I will get money, so keep quiet.

Monalisa said emotionally, ‘They are not letting me live. Now an attempt is being made to give a communal color to my marriage by calling it ‘love jihad’. Because of their influence, my husband and I are receiving threats. We are afraid to even leave Kerala. He also alleged that even the family did not stand with him due to greed for money.

Monalisa went viral in Mahakumbh

Monalisa’s story started from the Mahakumbh of 2025, when she was earning her family’s living by selling garlands. She became an overnight star after a viral video. Sanoj Mishra gave him a break in his film and also got him training in acting. But now the same director has become the center of serious allegations against him. Monalisa says that being a minor, this case can also come under the POCSO Act.

Sanoj Mishra’s silence

In the press conference, Farman Khan also supported his wife and said that they got married in a temple of their own free will. He also said that it was a marriage of love, in which there was no forced conversion. Although, no official statement has come from Sanoj Mishra till now, but earlier he had given statements like ‘Love Jihad’ regarding Monalisa’s marriage.

Monalisa’s life is now entangled between threats and allegations. Many people are raising their voice in his support on social media, while some are also giving statements in favor of his family and the director. Police investigation is ongoing. Monalisa said, ‘I just want to tell the truth, so that no other girl suffers this kind of pain.’
