Contrary to assumptions that her newfound fame boosted her business, Mona Lisa's father revealed that it actually affected sales. People were more interested in taking selfies with her than buying garlands. The family's experience at Mahakumbh took a chaotic turn, with her facing harassment and safety concerns.

Videos on social media showed Mona Lisa being chased by crowds, prompting her to leave the fair prematurely. In a video message, she said, "I have to return to Indore for my family's and my own safety. I may come back for the next Maha Kumbh. Thank you all for your support and love."

Mona Lisa's experience highlights the challenges of sudden fame, particularly for a young girl from a humble background. Despite the initial excitement, her family's well-being and safety became the priority, leading to her decision to leave Mahakumbh.
