Born on 21 november 1982 in Kolkata, monalisa is celebrating her 40th birthday today in Aamby Valley with her husband Vikrant Singh. monalisa says, 'Our birthdays are often celebrated on the sets during the shooting. But this time I am celebrating my birthday with my husband. Although Vikrant had to go to Gorakhpur for the shoot, now he will go to Gorakhpur for the shoot on 23rd November. When monalisa, who graduated in sanskrit, was asked about her studies in sanskrit, she laughed and said now don't start asking anything about sanskrit because it is time to leave the college and those things which are not in practice, You don't even remember.

Monalisa's childhood was spent in a very normal environment in Kolkata. monalisa says, 'In those days the financial condition of the family was not good. My father's business closed down, so I had to do a job only after completing my tenth standard. I was very fond of reading. I wanted to do Honors in english but for that, I have to go to college regularly, and due to my job, I cannot go to college regularly so after taking advice from some people I studied Sanskrit. I took sanskrit on the advice of people, but studying sanskrit was not that easy. Somehow I was able to do my graduation in Sanskrit.

monalisa started working at the age of 17. She says, 'I have worked in restaurants and five-star hotels. When I got my first salary of Rs.3750, I gave it to my mother. At that time I did not know how to spend money. Since the economic condition of the house was not good, I did not even think about anything for myself, whatever salary I got, I used to give to my mother every month. I always used to think that somehow I have to fulfill the needs of the house. I had become smart enough at an early age to handle family responsibilities.

monalisa never celebrated her birthday in her childhood. She says, 'In childhood, we did not even know how to celebrate birthdays. The financial condition of our family was also not that good. We were from a very middle-class family. Our financial condition was not such that we could celebrate our birthday properly. Sometimes when he got chocolates on his birthday, he used to be happy about that. There was no longing to get anything, he was happy with whatever he got. I remember once my mother bought jeans for me. At that time I was very thin and my jeans data-size was 30 inches. Mother gave me a gift from her side for the first time, so I did not return it but kept wearing the same jeans with a belt.

monalisa belongs to a bengali family. There are many articles on the internet in which his father's name is Shailesh Dubey and his mother's name is usha Dubey. When monalisa was asked about this, she told that her father's name is Shamlendra Mohan Biswas and her mother's name is ira Biswas and all the information about her parents on the internet is completely wrong.

When monalisa started her career in acting, her name was Antara Biswas. He also acted in many hindi and bengali films under this name. But later she changed her name to Monalisa. She says, 'I strongly believe in the science of astrology. According to numerology, I changed my name from Antara Biswas to Monalisa. I got famous in films only after keeping the name Monalisa. monalisa has so far worked in many films in hindi, Bhojpuri, bengali, Odia, Tamil, Telugu, and kannada languages.
