Monalisa Bhosle, a 16-year-old girl from Madhya Pradesh's Khargone district has been buzzing in the social media lately during the Prayagraj Maha Kumbh. She's again in the news, this time for entering the film world. According to the new report, Monalisa has finalized her debut film, The Diary of Manipur, which is directed by Sanoj Mishra.
Filmmaker Sanoj Mishra, who has directed The Diary of West Bengal, personally met Monalisa in her Maheshwar home in Khargone district before offering her the opportunity. The details of his visit were eventually posted by the director on Instagram. Though nothing is known about what exactly they spoke, the news has generated much excitement.
Monalisa has been selling flowers and rudraksha garlands at Kila Ghat on the banks of the Narmada River since childhood. However, her life took a turn when a content creator at the Maha Kumbh noticed her striking features, particularly her eyes. A simple video of her selling garlands quickly went viral, pushing her to nationwide fame.
While Monalisa's new fame brought recognition, it disrupted her daily life. Many people approached her for selfies rather than buying garlands, affecting her business. At times, the overwhelming attention forced her to avoid both the media and the general public. After the Maha Kumbh, she eventually returned to her home in Maheshwar to go back to normal life.
When will the film begin shooting?
Now that the diary of Manipur has finally been confirmed, the film shooting will begin from February. Amidst the great excitement around the cinematic debut of Monalisa, people look forward to knowing how this little flower seller transforms into a Bollywood heroine. Still, not many details are there about her character, but now she has the chance to play an actress's role from viral sensation.
