The couple say they feared opposition from Monalisa's family and sought protection before going ahead. According to latest updates, the couple married today on 11 March 2026 at Thiruvananthapuram temple.

Monalisa Bhosle Approaches Kerala Police

Reports say Monalisa and Farman visited Thampanoor police station in Thiruvananthapuram over safety concerns. Her family is said to have opposed the relationship, preferring she marry a cousin.

Police reportedly called Monalisa's father, Jay Singh Bhosle, for talks. Officers informed him that Monalisa, as an adult, has the legal right to choose whom to marry. Following the discussion, she was allowed to leave with Farman. Media reports say the couple planned a 5 pm wedding on 11 March 2026.

How They Met

It is also said that Monalisa first connected with Farman around one and a half years ago on Facebook. The online conversation grew into a relationship. Farman is said to work as a model and actor. As Farman Khan is a Muslim, the relationship being interfaith is drawing attention online, though details about the family dispute are still emerging.

From Kumbh Mela To Films

Monalisa's rise began when a video of her selling garlands at the Kumbh Mela went viral. Her expressive presence quickly made her a recognized face online. This visibility opened doors in modelling and acting.

She reportedly appeared in "The Diary of Manipur", starring Amit Rao, brother of Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao. Currently, she is shooting the Malayalam film "Nagamma" in Poovar near Thiruvananthapuram, opposite actor Kailash.

Earlier Kerala Visit

Monalisa had visited Kerala earlier for a commercial event organised by businessman Boby Chemmanur in Kozhikode, which drew media attention for the payment she received and the jewellery she wore.

What's Next

Latest reports suggest the couple tied the knot today, 11 March 2026, at a temple in Thiruvananthapuram. While several details about the family dispute remain unconfirmed, what stands out is how dramatically Monalisa's life has changed in a short time. A viral video at the Kumbh Mela transformed her from a garland seller into a social media sensation, opening doors to modelling and films, and now placing her personal story firmly in the public eye.
