Discovering Habib Tanvir
By: Tushar Joshi
June 14, 2007

Mouni Roy has been busy writing a research paper on the theatre legend for her MA degree

Before debuting as Krishna Tulsi in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Mouni Roy was doing a Master of Arts in Mass Communication at Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi.

Now in the final year of her program, Mouni is presenting a research paper on theatre legend Habib Tanvir.

Says Mouni, "I've been fascinated by Habib Tanvir as he's a pioneer in experimental theatre here.

As part of my presentation, I've studied each and every facet of his work and also interview people associated with him."

Fab experience

Studying Habib: Mouni Roy

Although she has never met him, Mouni did manage to speak with Tanvir over the phone for her research. "He was instrumental in using street plays to champion social causes.

He didn't use actors but shopkeepers, slum dwellers, and people on the road to tell his stories. Writing a thesis on him and studying his work has been a fabulous experience," she says.

Even though she hasn't set herself a deadline, Mouni plans to finish her research paper soon. "I definitely want to get my degree, but I don't have plans for higher studies at this point.

My life has changed after joining Balaji. I have not only grown as an actor but also as a person. I have finally settled in Mumbai and I'm loving it right now."

WOW...thats great,i'm so happy for here. but i hope she would take her education further cuz as the world is developing higher education is also needed and if acting doesn't support her throughout her WHOLE life then she won't have anywhere to go. 😕
