Her look and eyes captured the imagination of several fans online. She has been trending on social media for several days.
Earlier, Kangana Ranaut had also cited Monalisa's example on Instagram to share how dark-skinned actresses have gone out of fashion in Bollywood of late.
Taking to Instagram Stories, she wrote, “This young girl Monalisa has become an internet sensation for her natural beauty, as much as I hate people harassing her for pictures and interviews, I can’t help but think do we have dark dusky Indian tone female representation in glamour world anymore? Are people loving young actresses how they loved Anu Agarwal, Kajol, Bipasha, Deepika, or Rani Mukerji?”
“Why do all actresses look as pale as a white woman, including those who were dark in their younger days? Why people don’t identify with newcomers the way they identify with Monalisa? Too many laser and glutathione injections?” she added.
Coming back to Monalisa, her sudden popularity has given rise to this new opportunity coming her way. However, the exact details of her conversation with the director have not been disclosed yet.
