In a recent legal development that has captured public attention, a Mumbai court has relieved Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate and actor Ravi Kishan of a significant legal burden. The court firmly rejected the petition of a 25-year-old woman who had claimed that Kishan is her biological father and sought DNA tests to establish paternity. This decision, rendered on Friday, marks a pivotal moment in a saga that has garnered widespread interest and scrutiny.

Mumbai Court's Verdict Stuns Ravi Kishan's Accusers!

The petitioner, identified as Aparna Soni, had asserted that Ravi Kishan, also the BJP's candidate for Gorakhpur, fathered her daughter Shinova. However, the recent court hearing before the Dindoshi Sessions Court in Mumbai unveiled a different narrative. The court concluded that there existed no discernible evidence to substantiate any familial ties between Aparna Soni and Ravi Kishan, effectively dismissing the paternity claim.

The genesis of this legal tussle dates back to the revelation made by Aparna Soni, a resident of Mumbai, who alleged that Ravi Kishan fathered her daughter, Shinova. Soni's claims gained momentum when Shinova herself voiced her belief that Kishan is her biological father. Despite referring to the actor as "uncle" previously, Shinova asserted her paternity during the court proceedings.


Representing Ravi Kishan, advocate Amit Mehta argued vehemently against the claims put forth by Aparna Soni and her legal representatives. Mehta emphasized the absence of any substantial connection between the actor and Soni beyond a professional acquaintance. While acknowledging Kishan's professional interactions with Soni, Mehta vehemently refuted any insinuation of a romantic relationship between the two, a key contention in Soni's claims.

In contrast, Soni's attorney, Ashok Sarawgi, presented a narrative underscoring her alleged history with Ravi Kishan. Sarawgi highlighted Soni's purported romantic involvement with Kishan during her stint in the film industry as a journalist. He pointed out instances where Kishan had allegedly provided support to Shinova post-birth but had recently disavowed any familial relationship.


Sarawgi argued passionately for a paternity test to be conducted, citing Kishan's denial of acknowledging Shinova as his biological daughter. This denial, according to Sarawgi, warranted a thorough examination to ascertain the truth behind Shinova's parentage.

Meanwhile, amidst the legal battle, Aparna Soni, also known as Aparna Thakur, took to a press conference in Lucknow on April 16 to reiterate her claims against Ravi Kishan. Accusing the actor of depriving her daughter of her rights, Soni's public stance further intensified the controversy surrounding the paternity dispute.


In a significant turn of events, Ravi Kishan's wife, Preeti Shukla, intervened by lodging an FIR against Aparna Soni and Shinova in Lucknow. This legal maneuver catalyzed the police to register a case against six individuals, including Aparna Soni, her husband Rajesh Soni, daughter Shinova, son Sonak Soni, Samajwadi Party leader Vivek Kumar Pandey, and journalist Khurshid Khan, thereby escalating the legal ramifications of the dispute.
