Monalisa Bhosle, who went viral during the 2025 Maha Kumbh Mela, has married actor and model Farman Khan in a Hindu ceremony at a Kerala temple. Addressing backlash, she denied claims of “love jihad” and said she respects all religions. The couple reportedly met on Facebook six months ago and later fell in love.

Thiruvananthapuram: Viral Mahakumbh girl Monalisa is once again trending on social media after news of her marrying her boyfriend from the Muslim community.
