Monalisa met Khan on Facebook six months ago. She was later in Kerala for a film shoot.
Their relationship faced pushback from her father, who tried to take her home against her will.
The couple ended up seeking police protection with their film crew before finally getting married at a temple in the presence of local leaders.

Some groups questioned Monalisa's age (some reports claimed she was only 16).
Despite online noise and family pressure to marry a relative instead, Monalisa stood by her decision and clarified there was no forced conversion involved.
