When I did Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, people said the girl next door can’t play a glam part. When I did a few reality shows, dance reality shows, they said I was too glamorous. When I did Sati, they said I was too Indian. When I did Naagin, it was ‘she can only do fantasy fiction or mythological shows.’ That’s something I’ve always dealt with, and it doesn’t really bother me."She added, "It doesn’t matter whether you call me glamorous, stylish, or anything else – like saying she’s good for a certain kind of role. When I did Brahmāstra or Bhootnii, they said she’s good for these… not larger-than-life, but more outlandish roles. She can play these parts well. As long as – whether it’s glam, outlandish, girl next door, or dancing – if you can see that I’m putting in my hard work and 100%, and it resonates with the audience, that’s my takeaway from it."Mouni further explained that she is still hungry and ambitious as an actor, keen for good scripts and eager to take on different roles while working with a variety of people in the industry.Mouni Roy's recent and upcoming projectsMouni is currently seen in the show Salakaar, which also stars Naveen Kasturia, Asrar Khan, Janhavi Hardas, Mukesh Rishi, and Kuldeep Sareen, among others, in key roles.
