The Mahakumbh 2025 has been in the spotlight, drawing significant attention from people across the country and beyond. As one of the most anticipated and revered religious gatherings in the world, it has become a focal point for spiritual seekers, devotees, and curious onlookers alike. However, the Mahakumbh this year is famous for other reasons. Monalisa Bhonsle, a 16-year-old garland seller from Indore, gained widespread attention during the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj due to her striking features and engaging demeanor.
What's the truth behind 10 crore in 10 days?
One of the most sensational claims surrounding Monalisa was that she had earned a whopping Rs. 10 crore in just 10 days at the Mahakumbh. Addressing these rumors, Monalisa firmly denied the claims, stating, "If I had earned Rs.10 crore, I would have been at home, not here selling garlands."

While her newfound popularity brought her into the limelight, it also disrupted her livelihood. Many visitors flocked to her stall, not to buy garlands but to take photographs with her. This constant attention from all over is causing the poor girl difficulty with her work and providing for her family. "I am here to sell garlands, not pose for pictures," Monalisa expressed in frustration, emphasizing the toll that such fame took on her daily life.
Side effects of the viral fame
Mona Lisa's popularity brought both admiration and challenges as the overwhelming attention to her sparkling eyes. In one instance, a group of men reportedly forced their way into her tent and attacked her brother when he intervened to protect her. This frightening episode compelled Monalisa and her family to leave the event and return home to Indore, prioritizing their safety over the bustling environment of the mela.
Not just Monalisha, another major talk of the town has been "IIT Baba," Abhey Singh, who managed to grab everyone's attention and spark curiosity. This modern-day sage made headlines when it was revealed that he is an aerospace engineer from IIT Bombay. The revelation left people fascinated, as it's not every day that you hear about someone transitioning from a high-tech engineering background to a spiritual path. As word spread, his unique story captivated the public. Before long, videos and posts about IIT Baba went viral on social media platforms.
