Look who's coming back with a bang on Indian television! Bigg Boss 10's Monalisa, who made the audience go weak in the knees with her stint in the sow and in Bhojpuri cinema, will be seen in a completely negative avatar in Star Plus' upcoming horror-fantasy drama, Nazar. She plays the role of a Daayan/witch in the show and the promo will completely spook you out. Smita Bansal, Ritu Chaudhary, Harsh Rajput, Sumit Kaul and Niyati Fatnani are also a part of the show. The promo has Monalisa walking with her twisted legs, which is the age-old portrayal of a Daayan, or rather the ulte pair wali daayan.
Speaking to Indian Express about playing a negative role on television, she said, "I have been looking at doing a negative role for a long time now. As an actor, I want to experiment with different shades. As for television, doing a daily was on my bucket list. But never did I imagine that I would get a break in such a grand way." She adds, "Mohana is a very glamorous role. When she is in her human form, she is this sexy seductress. As a daayan, the audience will see the usual long braids, feet facing backwards and the long nails. It will give you shivers for sure. It’s a really exciting phase for me. We have seen films on daayan but it’s the first time on television. Also, we have shot it in a very modern format. I am really hopeful about this show."

Nazar will go on air on Star Plus from 30th July 2018, Monday to Friday at 11 pm. Now that is the perfect slot for the show if you take the genre into consideration. What are your thoughts on the promo and Monalisa's look for the show? Tell us in the comments below and stay tuned with us for more.
