Bhojpuri filmstar Ravi Kishan and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ravi Kishan courted fresh controversy after a woman named Aparna Thakur claimed that the actor-turned-politician is her husband and they have a daughter together. 

At a press conference held in Lucknow, Aparna alleged that she met Ravi in 1995 and the duo tied the knot in Malad, Mumbai in 1996 in the presence of his family members. She stated that Ravi has never acknowledged their relationship or accepted his daughter in public.
