| Mouni Roy, who plays Krishna Tulsi in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is one of the most talked about actors on small screen because she has arguably bagged the best role that the mother of all soaps had to offer. Shagufta Kalim talks to Mouni about her long distance relationship, fame, living alone, friends and more. Now you are a pivotal part of the most successful soap opera on television. How has life changed for the ordinary college going girl?
Well, it hasn't sunk in as yet, but the feeling is mind-blowing. And for family and friends I am still the same Mouni. Are you being recognised on the streets?
Frankly, I am so busy with my shoots that I haven't yet managed to take time out to explore the city. My life right now revolves around the studio and at the end of the day I am so tired that I head straight home. Your boyfriend is in Delhi while you are working in Mumbai. How are you coping with a long distance relationship?
I miss him very much. And as for maintaining a long distance relationship, like others I am indebted to the inventions of the modern world. We keep in touch through the phone or are hooked on to the Internet whenever possible. Krishna Tulsi is the quintessential Indian girl, forever clad in a salwar kameez. What is Mouni's off-screen style?
Oh, I am like any regular college going girl. You can catch me in denims with a t-shirt, capris and not to forget comfortable pajamas. Fashion for me is all about comfort and anything that compliments my looks. You are living all by yourself in Mumbai, how are you managing in a new city?
Right now I am feeling a wee bit lost and lonely living all by myself. Just the mention of home and ghar ka khana make me feel nostalgic. A few television actors like Surveen Chawla live in the same building as you do. Did you make any new friends?
Considering my hectic schedule, taking out time for myself is a hard task, leave alone making friends! What is your fitness and beauty regime — especially the secret behind those lustrous locks?
Fitness and me? You are asking the wrong person. I hardly hit the gym but I am a trained dancer, specialising in kathak and salsa. As for my hair I have a zero maintenance policy for it. In fact, my hairstylist is after my life and keeps telling me to comb it more frequently. What's your favourite food?
I am a real foodie. Bengali food remains on top of my list and Chinese comes a close second. What are your plans for the future?
I have just made my debut and right now Kyunki... remains my top priority. I never make plans for the future. What's your dream role and which actor would you love to work with?
Without doubt, Rani Mukherjee's role in Black is to die for. And I would love to share screen space with Bachchan junior. |
