# Monalisa Bhosle launches YouTube channel, seeks fan support 2026-08-21T20:43:44+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Monalisa Bhosle, who became a viral sensation after videos of her selling rudraksha during the Kumbh Mela surfaced, has launched a YouTube channel titled 'Monalisa Icon Official.' She asked fans to subscribe, saying she needs their 'love and support.' The channel had over 425 subscribers and more than 20 videos at last count. Bhosle married Farman Khan in Kerala, sparking allegations of 'love jihad' and claims she was a minor. An NCST inquiry found she was born in 2009, leading to a POCSO case against Khan. Bhosle has challenged her recorded birth date in the Indore High Court, saying her actual date of birth is January 1, 2008. Last month, Bhosle sought police protection after alleging threats, and the Kerala High Court granted it. Her YouTube channel, launched in January 2026 but recently publicised, includes music videos, behind-the-scenes clips, and vlogs. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Monalisa Bhosle's pivot to YouTube is a common move for influencers seeking direct monetisation through the YouTube Partner Program, which requires 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours. Her channel is far from that threshold. The bigger story remains her legal battle: if the court accepts her claim that she turned 18 in January 2026, the POCSO case against her husband collapses. The next hearing in the Indore High Court will be decisive. Watch for whether the court orders a fresh age determination, which could involve bone ossification tests. ## Coverage - news.abplive.com Reports the YouTube launch and legal case factually, without editorialising, though it leads with the viral angle.
