Actress Monalisa, who is essaying the role of Mohini in the supernatural show 'Shamshaan Champa' has addressed the challenge of being typecast.

Speaking about being typecast, Monalisa said: "As an actor, exploring various characters is essential for growth in this industry. I’ve played 125 positive roles without being labeled as a specific type of actor, but after just two-three negative roles, people began to typecast me. I view it positively-- it means I’m doing a good job and being considered for similar roles."
She added: "At least let me do 50-60 negative roles before typecasting me. Even within negative roles, I’ve embraced many shades and nuances--each offering something unique."
"My current role in 'Shamshaan Champa' is distinct from my previous ones, with a new look and powers. This show allows me to explore a new dimension of my craft, and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. I relish new challenges because they offer fresh experiences and help me grow as an artist," concluded Monalisa.
