Lucknow: Aparna Thakur, a woman from Lucknow, has accused BJP MP and actor Ravi Kishan Shukla of neglecting their daughter from their alleged second marriage. Speaking to journalists in Lucknow alongside her daughter, Aparna made serious allegations against the MP, stating, "My name is Aparna, and my daughter is the daughter of MP and actor Ravi Kishan, whom he is not accepting." Aparna further warned that she intends to pursue legal action on this matter.
Expressing her grievances, Aparna appealed to the Chief Minister to ensure justice for her daughter, emphasizing her desire to seek her daughter's rightful dues through legal recourse. She revealed details about her marriage to Ravi Kishan, claiming that they were married in Malad, Mumbai, in 1996.
Aparna stressed that her only demand is for Ravi Kishan to either acknowledge their daughter or provide her with her rightful entitlements.
Accompanied by her daughter during the interaction with reporters, Aparna's statements were covered by PTI's Hindi news agency Bhasha. Attempts were made to reach Ravi Kishan for comment, but his public relations officer, Pawan Dubey, stated that Ravi Kishan was out of town and would provide a response if necessary.
Ravi Kishan, a prominent Bhojpuri actor, is contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Gorakhpur against Kajal Nishad of the Samajwadi Party (SP). Gorakhpur, traditionally a stronghold of the BJP, holds significance as the hometown of the current Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath. Ravi Kishan currently serves as the sitting MP from the Gorakhpur constituency.
