How Did Kanika Mann Meet Her First Boyfriend?
While speaking to fellow contestants, Kanika recalled that her first relationship began during her first year of college. She said she initially felt left out when she saw other girls talking to their boyfriends late at night, which encouraged her to create a Facebook account.
Remembering how the relationship started, she said, “So, Facebook chalayi, Facebook pe account banaya. Jo Pehle ladka, jisne thoda sa bhau diya, wo apna boyfriend ban gaya.”
What began as a college romance eventually became a frightening experience for the actress. Kanika described her former boyfriend as controlling and abusive, recalling how he would arrive at her classroom without informing her.
Kanika Mann Recalls Being Slapped Over Her Outfit
Kanika shared that her former boyfriend once slapped her because of the outfit she had worn to college. Recalling the incident, she said, “Phir usne mujhe kis baat pe chataka (slap) maara kyunki maine stripes wala suit pehna hua tha.”
She also mentioned that she had recently got an ear piercing and was left bleeding after the assault. According to her account, the incident happened in front of other students, but nobody stepped forward to intervene.
The actress further recalled another incident in which her then-boyfriend snatched a photograph from her hand and threw it away. Her account left the housemates shocked, with some describing the relationship as a “violent love story”.
Why Did Kanika Mann’s Ex-Boyfriend Threaten to Call Her Father?
Kanika also spoke about the threats and emotional pressure she allegedly faced during the relationship. She said her former boyfriend would threaten to call her father whenever she refused to accompany him.
He eventually made the call, but her father did not answer that day. Looking back, Kanika said she sometimes wished her father had picked up, as she might have been able to get out of the relationship earlier.
She also explained that she had been afraid to tell her family about what was happening. The experience made her feel trapped, particularly because she feared how her former boyfriend might react if she resisted his demands.
Kanika Mann Reveals the Knife Incident That Led Her to Seek Police Help
Recounting the incident that ultimately pushed her to seek help, Kanika said her former boyfriend followed her from her hostel to her college department. As she was entering the building, he allegedly grabbed her hand and pulled her.
She recalled that he was wearing a hoodie and carrying a knife. He then took it out and made several deep cuts on his own hand. Kanika also said he pulled her hair and threatened to apply sindoor using his blood.
The actress explained that his earlier behaviour had already made her fear for her safety. She said she immediately asked a classmate to call the police, and the person contacted the authorities.
According to Kanika, the police arrived and took her former boyfriend away. She recalled that he remained in jail for two to three days. However, she alleged that his family members and relatives subsequently threatened her.
How Did Kanika Mann Finally Leave the Abusive Relationship?
When the housemates asked how she eventually managed to get out of the situation, Kanika explained that studying law for eight to nine months had helped her understand legal matters and her available options.
She also said that asking someone to call the police during the final incident was an important step in getting away from the relationship. Although she had initially been scared to tell her family, she eventually opened up to them and received their support.
Her account offered a glimpse into a difficult period of her life that she had not previously discussed in such detail on the show. The conversation also highlighted how she eventually found the courage to seek help rather than continue facing the situation alone.
