The couple tied the knot at a temple in Kerala after police said both were adults and free to decide their future.
Monalisa Bhosle, the young woman who went viral during the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela and came to be known as the “Kumbh Mela girl”, has married her partner Farman Khan in Kerala after approaching the police for assistance amid resistance from her family.
The couple tied the knot at the Nainar Temple in Thiruvananthapuram, bringing an end to days of tension surrounding their interfaith relationship.
Monalisa had earlier approached the Thampanoor police station in the Kerala capital, saying her family was not accepting her relationship and that her father was attempting to take her back to their hometown against her will.
According to police officials, Monalisa and Farman arrived at the station along with members of a film crew with whom she was working in the state.
She told officers that she intended to stay with her partner and marry him despite objections from her family.
“She insisted that she won't go with her father and made it clear that she is going to marry her boyfriend. As she is a major, she can act according to her choice,” a police officer said.
