According to Aparna Thakur’s claims, she met Ravi Kishan in 1995, and after a year of dating, they married in 1996 in Malad, Bombay. Aparna claimed that Ravi tied mangalsutra around her neck and even applied sindoor in front of his family and friends during the intimate wedding ceremony. At a press conference, Aparna alleged that despite their marriage, Ravi has not publicly acknowledged their marital status or their daughter Shenova. Aparna clarified that she refrained from involving the police to avoid harming Ravi, but she expressed her intention to seek legal recourse through the court if he continues to deny Shenova’s rights as his daughter.
