“Not sister, would prefer to be Bageshwar Baba’s wife,” quips Gehana Vasisth after several portals link her with Maharaj

BHOPAL: Responding to several news articles which falsely claimed that Gehana Vasisth was Bageshwar Dham Dhirendra Shastri’s sister and had married a Muslim man without the knowledge of her brother, the controversial actor and director said she would not mind being Bageshwar Baba’s wife as he is very handsome.

Dhirendra Krishna Shastri (born 4 July 1996 as Dhirendra Krishna Garg) also known as Bageshwar Dham Sarkar or Maharaj, is the peethadhish of the Bageshwar Dham Sarkar, a religious pilgrimage site in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh, India.

A photo of a couple in traditional attire which was viral on social media, claiming that the woman seen in it is Bageshwar Dham Dhirendra Shastri’s sister Gehana Vasisth – real name ‘Vandana Tiwari’, was later debunked by several fact checking sites.

A social media post that shares this photo claims that Gehana married a Muslim man without the knowledge of her brother.

In a post on her Instagram, in response to the rumours Gehana wrote: “Hi friends, many portals r claiming that m the sister of bageshwar baba so let me clarify that neither i hv ever met him nor I hv anything to do with him n most important i hv never ever married to any1 and i more thing as I can see bageshwar baba is actually very handsome so if i hv to be his anything than why sister, I ll prefer to B his wife..”

Speaking to this reporter, Gehana said she would like to be Bageshwar Baba’s wife rather than his sister. “I do not know why someone linked me up as his sister. Wife kyon nahi bol diya,” Gehana joked.
