We often have a fear about evil eye (like we say "kisi ki nazar lag jana")...
It can be when someone says a lot of positive thing about us (like you look very peaceful, you look very happy, may be about our wealth, etc) and we fear that "uski nazar nahi lag jaye"
My question is if there is any reference to the same in Bhagvad Gita? Is it something to be feared for real OR if we believe in Krishna consciousness, it is not to be feared at all..

Read the last verse of BG i.e. BG 18.78
eyes filled with lusty desire damage the subtle body...for that reason especially women should cover their bodies from other men than their own husbands and sons...
Bhagavad Gita is the essence of Vedic knowledge so there was no need to mention about such like things to Arjuna before the battle field but main and needed things.
But in Srimad Bhagavatam and in other Puranas we can find them.
Your servant in serving to Srila Prabhupada,
As far as I remember, Krsna mentions no such thing. But he does continually emphasize that we should just surrender onto Krsna, which makes one fearless.
BG 18.66
sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam saranam vraja
aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucah
TRANSLATION
Now, this doesn't particularly answer you question, but it does state the most important lesson of all: surrender onto Krsna and let him take care of things. We just accept whatever Krsna throws at us with love and devotion.
From the Sri Sikshastakam:
Text 8
ashlishya va pada-ratam pinashtu mam
adarshanan marma-hatam karotu va
yatha tatha va vidadhatu lampato
mat-prana-nathas tu sa eva naparah
I know no one but Krishna as my Lord, and He shall remain so even if He handles me roughly by His embrace or makes me brokenhearted by not being present before me. He is completely free to do anything and everything, for He is always my worshipful Lord unconditionally.
In a poem/song by Govinda Das (BhajaHu Re Mana), he states;
bhajahū re mana śrī-nanda-nandana
abhaya-caraṇāravinda re
O mind just worship the lotus feet of the son of Nanda, which make one fearless...
So being in Krsna Conscious, one does not worry for such trivial things because a servant of the Lord doesn't care for these things.
To basically summarize and answer your question in one verse, I think this is one of the most powerful and most conclusive verse:
In 2.57 of the Gita, Krsna says:
yah sarvatranabhisnehas
tat tat prapya subhasubham
nabhinandati na dveshti
tasya prajna pratishthita
In the material world, one who is unaffected by whatever good or evil he may obtain, neither praising it nor despising it, is firmly fixed in perfect knowledge.
PURPORT
There is always some upheaval in the material world which may be good or evil. One who is not agitated by such material upheavals, who is unaffected by good and evil, is to be understood to be fixed in Krishna consciousness. As long as one is in the material world there is always the possibility of good and evil because this world is full of duality. But one who is fixed in Krishna consciousness is not affected by good and evil, because he is simply concerned with Krishna, who is all-good absolute. Such consciousness in Krishna situates one in a perfect transcendental position called, technically, samadhi.
I hope this has help Prabhuji,
Your Servant,
