Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], A Mumbai court has rejected a plea by a 25-year-old actress seeking DNA test of Bhojpuri film star and BJP candidate from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, Ravi Kishan, claiming that Ravi Kishan is his father. Earlier, actress Shinova Soni had filed an application in Mumbai's Dindosh Sessions Court seeking recognition of her rights as actor Ravi Kishan's daughter. He had sought permission to conduct DNA test of the actor. The court heard this matter and reserved its decision. However, during Thursday's court hearing, Ravi Kishan's lawyer refused to accept Shinova as Ravi Kishan's daughter and instead discussed providing financial support to her mother Arpana (Thakur) Soni. While addressing a press conference in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh on 16 April, Soni claimed that Ravi Kishan is Shinova's biological father. She had also alleged that the actor had refused to give her the right to be his daughter. After this, Ravi Kishan's wife lodged a complaint and a case was registered against Soni and others. Bhojpuri film star and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Gorakhpur, Ravi Kishan, has once again been made a candidate by his party from the same parliamentary constituency. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Kishan emerged victorious against Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate Rambhual Nishad by a margin of 3,01,664 votes.
