Film Director Who Offered Role to Viral Monalisa Held in Rape Allegation
Filmmaker Sanoj Mishra, who had offered a movie role to Maha Kumbh Mela's viral sensation Monalisa, was arrested on Monday in a rape case. His arrest came after the Delhi High Court rejected his bail plea. The accusations against him involve the repeated sexual assault of a young woman from a small town who aspired to become an actress. The arrest was carried out by Nabi Karim police.

Accused of Rape After Administering Intoxicants
According to the victim, she first connected with Sanoj Mishra in 2020 via TikTok and Instagram while living in Jhansi. They remained in touch for some time, and on June 17, 2021, the director reportedly called her, informing her that he had arrived at Jhansi railway station. When she refused to meet due to societal pressure, Mishra allegedly threatened suicide, forcing her to meet him out of fear. The following day, he repeated his threats and insisted she meet him at the railway station.
Exploited Her with False Promises of a Film Career
As per the FIR, Mishra took the victim to a resort, where he allegedly drugged and raped her. He also filmed objectionable content and used it to threaten her. The victim stated that he repeatedly called her to various locations under the pretext of marriage and continued exploiting her. He allegedly assured her of roles in films to maintain control over her.
Mishra Was Training Monalisa for a Film
Earlier, reports emerged that Mishra was set to make a film featuring Monalisa, who gained massive social media fame after a video of her selling beads at Maha Kumbh Mela went viral. The director had announced that she would star in his upcoming project, The Diary of 2025, and was reportedly training her in acting.
