Sakshi Misra, the daughter of BJP MLA Rajesh Misra, whose marriage to a Dalit man has been making headlines since 𝄹the past one week, now seems have softened her stand agains☂t her family due to social media trolls.
In a television interview on Sunday, Sakshi admitted that she was "extremely upsetꦛ" at the manner in which she was being trolled on social media.
"People are saying that no one should have a daughter like me and even my brother is not asking these people not to make such statℱements," she said.
Sakshi was heard seeking her father's apology. &q🐭uot;Please forgive me. I m🎶ade a mistake," she said between sobs.
On be𝔉ing told about her mother's ill-health, she said: 💎"Mummy please take medicines and get well soon."
The BJP MLA had told her in the TV interview that her mother was in a state of shock and not taking medici꧋nes.
Sakshi, who was seen sobbing bitterly throughout the interview, seemed repentant after being trolled on th💧e social media for attacking her family.
In a video that had gone viral on social media, Sakshi had seemed rather defian🌺t as she w💟arned her father not to set his men after her.
"I will d🦹ie but I will make sure that your men spend their lives in jail," she had said.
This comes after the couple was attacked, by unknown assailants, right outside the Allahabad High Court where they were waiting for the hearing of their case. The couple moved court to grant them protectℱion from the "goons" which Sakshi felt had been sent after the couple by her father.
Meanwhile, the High Cou🤪rt directed the police to grant the couple protection saying that the coupl𒉰e's marriage was valid.
Lashing out at BJP MLA Rajesh Misra, Justice Siddhartha Verma said that both his d🃏aughter Sakshi and son🤪-in-law are adults and have a right to decide their life partners.
