Played by Revathi Pillai, Pari might have limited screen time, but her character triggers a twist that changes everything.

Revathi Pillai on her journey Off-screen, Revathi's story is quietly inspiring. In an interview with TellyChakkar, she recalled how she once lied to friends just to attend auditions. 'I told them I was going to a relative's wedding,' she laughed. What began with small lies is now a growing filmography. 'I'm no one. I'm nothing right now… I don't even know how I can call myself an actor. That title belongs to those who're seen on the big screen,' she said humbly. Why is she suddenly trending?

UP Sisters Held For ‘Obscene' Reels Are From This Muslim-Majority Village That Calls Them...
Last Updated: The conservative villagers often called Meharulnisha and Mehak 'bad influence', 'disgraceful' and even taunted them, saying, "Papa ki pari aa gayi (Papa's princesses are here)." In the small village of Shahbazpur Kalan in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal, Meharulnisha (21) and Mehak (20) dreamed of becoming famous. The only way they knew was through social media. What started as posting fun, day-to-day videos from their life turned obscene. As they browsed what was trending online, they also began creating videos with stronger language and revealing clothes. These clips, which the sisters regularly posted on their mehakpari143 Instagram page, earned them millions of views, over 5 lakh followers and even more criticism. However, what they never thought was that the content could also lead to their arrest. Their controversial videos landed them in trouble because the villagers thought they were 'vulgar" and requested that the police take necessary action. On July 15, Meharulnisha (Pari) and Mehak were arrested, along with two other influencers, Hina and Jarrar Aalam, with whom they frequently collaborated. All four of them were arrested from Aalam's studio in Pakbada, near Moradabad. They were charged under Section 67 of the IT Act (publishing obscene material online) and Section 296 of the BNS (public obscenity). A day later, they were granted bail. 'We felt bad after hitting the post button on Instagram, we swore only on videos. In reality, we do not say any cuss words," said Mehak to The Print. Both sisters wanted to become movie stars and idolised actresses like Sridevi and Deepika Padukone. As they knew that becoming an actress was out of their reach, they turned to social media instead of the silver screen. Villagers are unhappy that they were granted bail. 'They should have been kept for a few more days so that they learn what mistake they have committed," said an auto driver from the village who followed Mehak and Pari's journey on Instagram. The resentment towards the sisters has been growing for years now. And it's not just for their social media presence, but also their outspoken and independent nature. The conservative villagers of Shahbazpur found them 'disgraceful", and with their online presence, the number of people who resented the sister duo grew significantly. Some even thought that Mehak and Pari should not be granted bail so soon. One of their neighbours, Mohammad Kamil, told the outlet, 'We have kids at home, what will they learn? The sisters are a bad influence." Mehak and Pari don't come from a rich family. They live with their mother and eight siblings in a one-storey house in Shahbazpur Kalan. The Muslim-majority locality is renowned for producing edible silver foil, known as chandi ka warq, which is often used in sweets. Their family was also in the same business, along with the two sisters. They saved money and, with their father's help, bought a scooter in 2020. That was the first time the sisters tasted freedom. They rode around the village and even ran errands in the vehicle, something the villagers weren't accustomed to seeing. The men in their conservative village couldn't digest their freedom, and would often taunt them. Mehak shared, 'We bought the scooter after dreaming about it for years. But our neighbours never liked it, they would come and taunt us, saying 'Papa ki pari aa gayi (Papa's princesses are here).'" They have also faced judgment for being bold and independent. However, things changed for their family once their father was diagnosed with a kidney disease. His treatment brought their livelihood to a standstill. Their mother, Naeema, stepped up to earn for the family. Just like her daughter, she was outspoken, for which villagers even called her 'disgraceful". She found out about her daughters' social media activities on the day they were arrested. Naeema said, 'My daughters are naive; they did not want to hurt anyone's sentiments. I am scared something will happen to them." Three months ago, Mehak and Pari's lives changed when they met influencers Hina and Jarrar Aalam. They cast them in a YouTube series called Jugnu Pari, where they played fairies. It was their dream-come-true moment. Eighteen episodes of the show are available on the platform and have been watched by thousands. Now, after being released on bail, the sisters are lying low.
