Ghaziabad, August 21: A shocking case of domestic violence has emerged from Ghaziabad, where a woman has alleged that her husband subjected her to physical and mental torture in a bizarre attempt to make her resemble Bollywood actress Nora Fatehi. The woman, identified as Shanu alias Shanvi, accused her husband Shivam Ujjwal, a government physical education teacher, of forcing her to exercise for three hours daily. If she failed to comply due to exhaustion, he allegedly denied her food for days.

In her complaint, Shanvi claimed her husband repeatedly said his life was ruined because he could have married someone like Nora Fatehi. She accused him of dowry harassment, domestic violence, miscarriage, threats, and blackmail. She also alleged her in-laws mentally and physically tortured her, demanding items such as jewelry, clothes, and household appliances despite her family spending about INR 76 lakh on the wedding in March 2025, which included a Mahindra Scorpio worth INR 24 lakh and INR 10 lakh in cash. Bengaluru: Techie Tries Self-Immolation in Front of Karnataka Governor’s House, Alleges ‘Torture’ by Wife.
