Mumbai, February 26 Actress Monalisa, also known as Antara Biswas, in an exclusive conversation with IANS, revealed her long-held desire to embrace parenthood with her husband, Vikrant Singh Rajpoot.
She mentioned that both she and Vikrant have been trying for a long time and are hopeful for "that blessed day."
When IANS inquired about her family planning, the actress said, "Yes, of course. We have been trying for a long time. Ultimately, it is in God's hands. I am hopeful and waiting for that blessed day."
Monalisa and Vikrant, both established actors in the Bhojpuri film industry, got married in January 2017 after tying the knot inside the Bigg Boss 10 house.
Monalisa and Vikrant, who recently participated in the reality show The 50, discussed a recent moment on the show, where fellow contestant Bebika Durve had mentioned that male contestants were flirting with Monalisa and conveyed it to Vikrant, adding "spice," presumably to gauge his reaction. Vikrant was seen siding with his wife and explained that he is completely secure as a husband and trusts his wife implicitly.
Talking about this, Monalisa told IANS that she did watch the clip. She explained that there was "nothing inappropriate" and that Vikrant had handled the situation maturely. "Vikrant and I have been together for eighteen years. We understand each other deeply and share a very strong bond. When I saw the clip, I wondered why she made that comment… Trust has always been the foundation of our relationship," she said.
Monalisa further spoke about the pressures that reality shows can easily put on relationships, as the couple is then constantly under scrutiny. "Reality shows simply show who we truly are. Inside the house, we live as we do at home. Disagreements and arguments are natural, but that does not mean trust disappears. We communicate openly and resolve issues. Communication is the cornerstone of any strong relationship," she added.
Talking about Monalisa and Vikrant, the couple was also seen in Bigg Boss 10 where they got married inside the house.
For those unfamiliar, Monalisa is a prominent figure in the Bhojpuri industry, and has also acted in television shows and Hindi films.
