Who Is Viral Girl Monalisa?
Monalisa, a resident of Khargone district in Madhya Pradesh, first rose to fame during the Prayagraj Maha Kumbh Mela, where her striking presence captivated the internet. Her popularity has since soared, leading to her being cast in a prominent role in the upcoming film The Diary of Manipur. Directed by Sanoj Mishra, who previously helmed The Diary of West Bengal, the film is expected to draw significant attention, further cementing Monalisa's status as a rising star.
However, her journey has not been without challenges. Monalisa recently found herself at the center of controversy when she alleged that a group of men chased her for photos despite her refusal during the Maha Kumbh Mela. She claimed that around nine men attacked her brother when he tried to delete unauthorized pictures of her from their phones. The incident highlighted the darker side of instant fame and the pressures faced by young social media personalities.
Adding to her troubles, Monalisa's Instagram account was hacked shortly after she returned to her home in Madhya Pradesh from Prayagraj. In a video shared with her followers, she gave a glimpse of her life back home, expressing her frustration over the hacking incident.
Monalisa, who hails from Maheshwar in Khargone district, had initially traveled to the Mahakumbh Mela with her family to sell Rudraksha beads.
