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.
During a media interaction, Aparna said, "My name is Aparna, and my daughter is the daughter of MP and actor Ravi Kishan, whom he is not accepting. I am also going to court for this. The reason for calling this press conference is I want my daughter, who is also Ravi Kishan's daughter, to get her rights. I will approach the court as well over this. I want him to accept his daughter and give her the legal rights that she deserves."
Aparna Thakur alleges that BJP MP Ravi Kishan is the father of her daughter Shenova. They held a press conference in Lucknow, seeking legal rights for Shenova.

Shenova added, "I came to know that Ravi Kishan is my father when I was 15... Earlier I used to call him uncle. He used to come to our house on my birthdays. I have met his family as well. As a father, he was never really there for me. I want him to accept me as his daughter and that is why we have decided to file a court case."
