Her home was always buzzing with sounds—chattering monkeys on the rooftops, playful squeals from babies hanging on bamboo poles, and the laughter of villagers who admired Asha’s strange but heartwarming mission. Among all the monkeys she cared for, Bajrangi was the most special.
Bajrangi wasn’t just another monkey. He had been found years ago as a baby, lying under a cart, half-conscious and with an injured leg. It was Dheeraj Uncle, the village’s wise and kind-hearted old man, who had brought him to Asha. “Only you can save this one,” he had said. And she did.
Bajrangi grew up under Asha’s loving eyes, becoming smart, strong, and full of mischief. He would wake up early, help Asha by fetching fruit from the market vendors (who happily gave him small offerings), and then spend his afternoon jumping from tree to tree like the forest king he believed he was. At night, he’d curl up on Asha’s lap, just like a child.
Over time, their story caught attention. A YouTube channel called The Khurapati India, run by a young man named Rohit, began filming Asha’s life. He recorded the adorable bond between Asha and Bajrangi, the funny chaos caused when Bajrangi stole Dheeraj Uncle’s turban, and even the moments when Asha taught the younger monkeys how to eat from plates and behave politely.
The videos went viral.
People across India, even from faraway countries, began to fall in love with Asha and her monkey family. Donations started arriving, and visitors would come just to meet her. Some brought fruit, others offered medicine, and a few even left with tears after watching how deeply Asha cared for her monkeys.
One day, a young boy came running into the village crying. His pet baby monkey had run away into the nearby forest and hadn’t returned. Distraught and hopeless, he begged for help. Without a moment’s hesitation, Asha, with Bajrangi on her shoulder, followed the boy deep into the woods.
Bajrangi, as if understanding the mission, began sniffing around, climbing trees, and calling out in his unique squeaky tone. Hours passed. The sun was dipping behind the hills when a soft reply came—from a branch above. The lost baby monkey peeked down, eyes wide and scared.
With a few calming calls from Asha, and a brave approach by Bajrangi, the little one climbed down into her arms.
That night, as the villagers gathered under the stars, Dheeraj Uncle said, “We don’t just have a monkey lover among us… we have a monkey angel.” Everyone clapped. Asha smiled, gently brushing Bajrangi’s fur. He grinned, baring his little teeth, and leapt into her lap.
The Khurapati India team filmed it all, capturing the heart of the village in one perfect moment: the woman, the monkeys, and the magical connection between species.
Today, Monkey Lover Asha Kundra is known far beyond Khurapati. But in her heart, she’s still the same woman who once fed a half-dead monkey milk from a spoon, still the same mother to Bajrangi, and still the same friend to Dheeraj Uncle, who always laughs and says, “If I come back in my next life, I hope I’m one of Asha’s monkeys!”
