The show had a positive effect on my life: Monalisa

Not just reality shows, actor Monalisa (right) says that she has a lot on her platter now.

Being a part of the controvers­ial reality show, Bigg Boss, has only given a boost to her career, feels Monalisa. “The show had a positive effect on my life and career. I got married on the show, post which, I’ve been getting offers from film and TV industry,” informs Monalisa.

Shuttling between a Bengali film, and a reality show, the actor also has few TV and film offers lined up. The actor is in Kolkata shooting for a song titled Delhi se aayi chori innocent, for her Bengali film titled Comrade, being helmed by filmmaker Shankudev.

“Being a Bengali, I always wanted to do Bengali films. But I hardly got any good offers. Shankudev wanted me in this film but he couldn’t reach me, as I was inside the house. Now I’m only doing a song. But he’s keen on working with me in his next film,” she adds.

Monalisa is also excited to participat­e in the celebrity dance reality show along with beau Vikrant Singh Rajput.

Ask her about the roles she would like to explore, she says, “I’d love to do romantic shows. I won’t mind doing a negative character as it is both difficult and interestin­g to play.”
