Kochi, March 24 The young woman who gained fame during the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela last year, alleged on Tuesday that a film director she knows has been misbehaving with minor girls in the name of filmmaking.
The woman made the allegation at a press conference here, where she also sought help from the Centre and the 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 their posters were being burned and the couple were receiving death threats from people.
She also claimed that the director was speaking ill about her and that he wouldn't include her in his films.
"Who would want to be a part of his films? He is such a bad and disgusting person. He is misbehaving with minor girls in the name of filmmaking. I am even ashamed to mention his name," she alleged.
She also requested the central and Uttar Pradesh governments not to level false allegations against her husband regarding their marriage.
"We got married according to Hindu rites at a temple. Everyone in the country knows this. The director wishes for there to be conflict and violence. He is calling our marriage a 'love jihad'. I respect all religions," she said.
"If any attempt is made to separate me from Farman (my husband), we will commit suicide. I cannot live without him. We love each other very much," she said.
She also claimed that the director was unhappy with their marriage to Farman.
Farman also alleged that the director was branding him a "terrorist".
"Just because I was born in a Muslim family and my name is Farman Khan, allegations are being leveled against me. They are trying to trap us and threatening to kill us," he alleged.
"Is it wrong to be in love?" they both asked.
Farman also claimed that he respects and believes in Sree Narayana Guru, and that they got married in one of his temples.
The young woman, during the press conference, broke down and reiterated that she and her husband will commit suicide if the Centre and the state governments of Madhya Pradesh and Kerala do not help them.
The woman got married to her husband recently in Kerala as her parents were against their relationship.
The couple had arrived in Thiruvananthapuram recently in connection with a film shoot.
With a captivating smile and beautiful eyes, the young woman from Indore shot to fame after a virtual content creator shared a video of her selling rudraksh garlands at the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh last year.
