The news of Monalisa’s marriage also led to a reaction from film director Sanoj Mishra.
Mishra had earlier announced that he planned to introduce Monalisa to the film industry and train her to become an actress.
In a long message shared on Instagram, he said he was shocked by the marriage and described it as the worst day of his life.
He claimed he had admired Monalisa’s simplicity and had planned to help her start a career in films.
According to him, he had even completed a film script during the time he was in jail.
Director makes controversial claims
Mishra also made strong allegations in his post. He claimed that Monalisa had become a victim of “love jihad”.
He further alleged that her manager had played a role in the situation and accused him of creating distance between Monalisa and her community.
However, Monalisa herself has rejected such claims and repeated that her marriage was her personal choice.
Debate grows as old video circulates
As the old interview video spreads online, many social media users are discussing the contrast between Monalisa’s earlier statement about following her parents’ wishes and her recent marriage decision.
Some people say her views may have changed over time, while others continue to debate the issue online.
Despite the controversy, Monalisa has made it clear that she stands by her decision and that both she and her husband respect all religions.
