India’s real-life “Mowgli Girl,” who was found wandering alone in a jungle as a child, tragically passed away at just 18 years old on the morning of Monday, June 15.
Ehsaas first captured global attention in 2017 after she was discovered roaming through the forests of the Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary in Uttar Pradesh, India, displaying feral behavior that drew comparisons to Rudyard Kipling’s fictional character, Mowgli.
Over the years, her extraordinary journey from life in the wilderness to rehabilitation touched millions, though she continued to face significant physical and developmental challenges throughout her life.
