For the unversed, apart from Bhojpuri, Monalisa has also left a mark in the Tamil and Telugu industries. However, she feels that it went all unnoticed because at that time there was no social media. She said, “ yeh sab mai kar chuki par logon ne pehchana nhi. Uss waqt social media ka daur itna nhi tha. Hum photos le kar jaate the office aur woh puchte toh kya kiya aapne toh hume btana padta tha ki humne kya kiya hai. Aajkal who zamana hai ki aap social media par dekkh lo sab pta chal jaata hai, kaisi dikh rahi, dance, acting, sab kuch dikh jaata hai so yeh pluspoint hai jo hamare time par nhi tha.”
Interestingly, apart from Monalisa, Bekaboo will also star Shalin Bhanot in a lead role. It will be introduced on Colors from 18 March 2023.
