In the midst of the electoral fervor surrounding the 2024 Lok Sabha Election, the renowned actor and BJP candidate from Gorakhpur, Ravi Kishan, finds himself amidst a whirlwind of controversy. Aparna Thakur Soni, a woman hailing from Mumbai, took center stage on April 15th during a press briefing, boldly asserting that Ravi Kishan is “her partner in life.” Adding to the dramatics, Aparna proudly introduced her daughter, the budding actress Shinova Soni, to the eager eyes of the media.
Shinova, affectionately referring to Ravi Kishan as her paternal figure, has now taken decisive legal action by approaching the esteemed Bombay High Court. Submitting a formal plea to the court, Shinova earnestly requested a DNA examination to establish her biological connection with Ravi Kishan. Furthermore, she implored the court to officially recognize her as the offspring of the esteemed actor. In an added plea, Shinova beseeched the High Court to ensure that Ravi Kishan does not evade his responsibilities as a father, as per insider reports.
The 25-year-old Shinova Soni, an artist of both the screen and fashion world, boasts a Bachelor of Arts degree and a repertoire of work in the realm of advertisements. Noteworthy among her achievements is her role in Kunal Kohli’s web series ‘Hickups and Hookups’.
It is purported that Shinova, in a bid for justice, released a video appealing directly to the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
And who exactly is Aparna Thakur Soni? Born in the cultural hub of Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Aparna later made her way to the bustling city of Mumbai, where she carved a niche for herself as a dedicated journalist. Fate brought Aparna into Ravi Kishan’s orbit in 1995 during a media event. Aparna recollects that Ravi Kishan tendered his proposal during their second encounter. Though their romantic liaison purportedly came to an end when Ravi ventured into the realm of Bigg Boss, the two maintained communication, united by their “paternal” bond with their daughter.
Adding another layer of complexity to this saga, Ravi Kishan’s legal wife, Preeti, has entered the fray with her own legal actions. Preeti has filed a case not only against SP leader Vivek Kumar Pandey but also against the YouTuber Khursheed Khan Raju. The details of the FIR outline a troubling narrative of Ravi Kishan being subjected to extortion and threats of a staggering sum of Rs 20 crore, an ordeal that allegedly transpired a year prior.
The unfolding events in this tangled web of relationships and legal entanglements have captured the attention of the public, as the drama continues to unravel with each passing day.
