About Monalisa Bhosle
Seventeen-year-old Monalisa shot to fame during the Prayagraj Mahakumbh, where she accompanied her family to sell pearl and rudraksha garlands. Her natural beauty and mesmerising eyes pulled frequent Instagram clickers, turning her into an internet sensation. People flocked to take selfies with her, leading to overwhelming attention that forced Monalisa to return home to Maheshwar.
Monalisa, coming from a family with limited financial resources, didn't get the chance to complete her education due to economic constraints. She speaks basic English as she could not go to school. But her natural charm and personality have opened doors for her in both fashion and entertainment.
