Tripti Shankhdhar alleges threat to life from her father
Tripti Shankhdhar who has been a part of Ekta Kapoor’s longest-running show KumKum Bhagya, shocked everyone after she posted selfie videos asking for police protection from her father as she claims that he wants to kill her.
A leading portal got in touch with Tripti Shankhdhar and Tripti Shankhdhar said that she has filed a police complaint against him. Though the actress doesn’t wish to send him to jail, she said that she just wants to move out with her brother, sister and mother.
The ‘Kumkum Bhagya’ actor Tripti Shankhdhar has posted a video on the social media in which she is heard claiming that her father, Ram Ratan Shankhdhar, wants to marry her off to a person of his choice and on her refusal to comply with his wish, has threatened to eliminate her.
Tripti Shankhdhar has sought protection from the Bareilly police. In the video clip, Tripti is heard accusing her father of pulling her by her hair and thrashing her. She alleged that her father is asking her to return the money he gave her when she went to Mumbai to make a career in the entertainment industry.
Tripti Shankhdhar has posted her video clip on her Instagram account, late on Tuesday night. Tripti, who is 19-years-old, has now left her home with her mother. Her father is a real estate businessman. He could not be contacted for his comments.
The actress, who is currently at her hometown in Bareilly, told SpotboyE.com, “Right now I am at the police station (Thana Baradari, UP) and my father (Ram Ratan Shankar) is also present here. I had filed a police complaint against him and cops have got him here. But I don’t want any legal procedure ahead or send him to jail. I just want a settlement as my mother, brother, sister and I don’t want to stay with him anymore.”
Ask her why she has to take such a big step against him and Tripti reveals, “He has always been a violent father and has been torturing us since childhood. Yesterday, he also beat me, my mother, brother and sister too. And it’s high time now.”
She has worked in TV serials like ‘Kumkum Bhagya’ and also in a South Indian film. The Bareilly police said that they have not received any written complaints but learnt about the actor’s post on social media a few hours ago. “We are investigating the matter,” said a senior police official.
Kumkum Bhagya is a popular daily with Sriti Jha and Shabbir Ahluwalia in the lead roles. We hope this matter gets resolved soon.
