Monalisa Bhosle, the young woman who shot to fame during the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela last year, on Tuesday alleged that a film director she knows had misbehaved with minor girls in the name of films.
She made the allegation at a press conference here, where she also sought help from the Centre and State governments of Kerala and Madhya Pradesh, claiming that she and her husband were receiving death threats.
The young woman, accompanied by her husband, told reporters here that her posters were being burnt, and that the couple were receiving death threats from people.
She also claimed that the director was speaking ill about her, and that he would not make her part of his films.
“Who wants to be 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 said.
She also requested the Central and Uttar Pradesh governments not to level wrong allegations against her husband regarding their marriage.
“We got married according to Hindu rites at a temple. Everyone in the country knows that. The director wishes that there should be extremism, and people should fight each other. He is calling our marriage a love-jihad. I respect all religions,” she said.
