‘Mona Lisa’ at Mahakumbh harassed, chased by men after viral fame, sent home by family

A video online depicts her being targeted by men after she quickly gained fame.

A clip captures her in a red salwar, attempting to flee from the crowd closing in on her. A relative draws her back, while several others attempt to protect her from the crowd of men trying to approach or photograph her. The video concludes with her seated and hiding her face with a dupatta. As per a news outlet, her rising popularity led to a decline in sales for her business. It is said that she was sent home by her father due to this reason.

Videos are consistently shared on the Instagram profile dedicated to Bhonsle. There are numerous clips, ranging from selling garlands to conducting interviews to celebrating her birthday with her relatives. One clip reveals her voicing frustration about individuals circulating rumors that she made crores after gaining fame, while the truth is quite the opposite.

In a different clip, she emphasized this and playfully mentioned that she would only pose for photos with people who purchase her items. Bhonsle initially gained online recognition when an influencer attending Mahakumbh 2025 filmed her and posted it on social networks. Her stunning beauty quickly enchanted those around her.
