Muskan and Hansika

Muskan Nancy James is a TV actress who has recently made headlines due to her allegations against her husband Prashant Motwani, his mother Jyoti, and his sister, actress Hansika Motwani. She filed a complaint accusing them of domestic violence and interfering in her marital life. Muskan and Prashant, who are married, have been living separately for the past two years after their marriage in 2021. Their relationship reportedly started facing problems just a year after the wedding.

Muskan's acting career began in 2006, and she gained recognition through various supporting roles on TV. Her big break came with the show Mata Ki Chowki in 2008, where she played the lead role until 2011. She later appeared in several other popular shows like Adaalat, Crime Patrol, and Bharat Ka Veer Putra – Maharana Pratap. Her last appearance on television was in 2015 in the show Agent Raghav – Crime Branch, after which she stayed away from the screen.

According to reports, Muskan filed a police complaint on December 18, 2024, at Mumbai's Amboli Police Station, under sections related to cruelty, causing hurt, criminal insult, intimidation, and common intention. In her complaint, Muskan accused her mother-in-law Jyoti and sister-in-law Hansika of excessive interference in her marriage, which, she claims, strained her relationship with Prashant. She also alleged that her in-laws demanded expensive gifts and engaged in fraudulent activities regarding property matters.

One of the most serious allegations Muskan made was about domestic violence. She claimed that the stress caused by her troubled marriage led her to develop Bell’s Palsy, a condition that causes facial paralysis. In November 2022, she shared a post on social media where she talked about her health struggles but did not mention her husband or in-laws. Instead, she thanked her parents for their support during this difficult time.

As of now, Hansika Motwani and her brother Prashant have not responded publicly to Muskan's accusations. Muskan is currently seeking legal assistance to handle the ongoing situation.
