Nikita Basti, in an interview with ANI, talked about the incident. Some guests left the house gate unlocked, which allowed the monkeys to enter. The monkeys started looking for food, and she and her niece were alone in the room.
Looking around for what to do, Nikita spotted the virtual assistant, Alexa and asked her to bark, which scared the monkeys away. This incident showcased the bravery and quick thinking of the girl.
"Both their lives were saved by such good use of the Alexa device, we were in another room but due to the wisdom of daughter Nikita, she asked the Alexa to make the sound of a dog and hearing the sound the monkey ran away," Nikita's mother told ANI.
People online are also lauding the 13-year-old for her clever solution. One user wrote. "How can a kid think such an amazing out of the box idea? Today’s generation is seriously beyond our imagination."
