Ten Years of Television Toil
Born in 1985 in West Bengal, Mouni hails from a typical Bengali family. Her father, Anil Roy, is a Zila Parishad secretary, and her mother, Mukti, is a theatre artist. After studying at Kendriya Vidyalaya in Cooch Behar, Mouni pursued a media degree from Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi. With her charming performance in the popular soap opera Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Mouni made her television debut in 2006 and soon became famous. Mouni's fame grew even more after she participated in the reality dance program Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. But in 2016, she participated in the ground-breaking series Naagin, which not only gave her a chance to showcase her skills but also opened doors for her in Bollywood.
Challenges on the Big Screen
Despite gaining fame on television, Mouni faced a lot of difficulties in her cinematic career. Mouni played her first lead role in the 2018 film Gold opposite Akshay Kumar. Still, the film did not do well at the box office. Despite Mouni's good performance, other films like Romeo Akbar Walter and Made in China also failed at the box office. Although Mouni received positive reviews for her performance as Junoon in Brahmastra: Part One, her career has been lacking solo successes, leaving fans hoping to see her succeed on the big screen.
