Chandigarh 02nd August:- India is a
land of folklores bathed in endless allegories founded across centuries.
Stories that talk of the real and the imaginary, of the known and the unknown,
of the living and the mystic. One such story deeply entrenched in our psyches
is that of Daayans, and their Evil Eye or ‘Buri Nazar’. For centuries Daayans
have been dwelling in this land, migrating to places & forms, awaiting
reincarnation. And this begs the question-What if Daayans are not just in
sleepy towns but in city homes like yours? In bustling streets and crowded
malls? And most importantly, how do you know for sure that the person sitting
next to you isn’t a Daayan? StarPlus’ offering ‘Nazar’ is a
never-seen before supernatural fantasy drama which brings to you, a Daayan in
the modern world in the bustling metropolis of Mumbai. The intriguing and
fascinating character of the Daayan called Mohana, is played by beautiful
Bhojpuri actress Monalisa and she has become TV’s most powerful and
hair-raising villain yet.
Monalisa said
that this is her Hindi fiction debut on Television and she is enthralled to
play such a differentiated character. Since childhood she has heard so many
stories about the existence of Daayans and ‘Buri Nazar’, but never imagined
playing one on television. The gripping storyline, the thrill of supernatural
incidents in very modern and contemporary settings and the Daayan’s aura are
some of the reasons for doing the show. She enjoys playing her and unravelling
each of her elements as the show progresses.
Nazar
unfolds the tale of a Daayan’s dark energies that are said to surround the
Rathore family since generations and how this can affect their lives. According to
folklore, Daayans have a long braid or ‘Chhoti’, which contains all their
power, they have backward feet (‘Ulte Paer’) and their presence
can suck the life out of everything around them. The phrase
‘buri nazar na lage’ is common in Indian households for a reason–a Daayan’s
evil eye or ‘Nazar’ possesses the ability to harm an individual and his entire
family. People believe that hanging red chilies and lemons (‘nimbu mirchi’) on
doorways to houses can protect one from the evil eye.
The show embraces
a stellar star cast - Harsh Rajput, Ankur Nayyar, Niyati Fatnani, Smita Bansal,
Ashita Dhawan, Ritu Seth in other prominent roles.
