‘Bigg Boss 10’ fame Monalisa, who is popular for her work in Bhojpuri cinema, is playing the role of an erotic poetess in the web series ‘Hasratein’ and says she did a lot of research for her role.

She says: “When I was offered the role, my first notion was to gain as much knowledge about the character that I would be portraying. I took my time, pondered over it, and started with my research.”

After doing her research, the ‘Nazar’ actress arrived at the conclusion that very few female writers explore erotica.

“The conclusion that emerged was a big surprise for me as there were a handful of female writers who explored the genre of erotica,” she adds.

Monalisa worked in a number of Bhojpuri, Hindi, Bengali, Odia, Tamil, Kannada and Telugu language films. She was also seen in TV shows such as ‘Nazar’, ‘Namak Issk Ka’, ‘Nach Baliye 8’, ‘Smart Jodi’, and many more.
