Mouni Roy Recounts Disturbing Incident from Her Early Career
Actor Mouni Roy has opened up about a traumatic experience from the early days of her career — an encounter that left her emotionally scarred. While clarifying that she never faced the so-called casting couch, Mouni revealed she was subjected to inappropriate behaviour when she was just 21 years old.
In a candid conversation with host Apoorva Mukhija on the show Spice It Up, Mouni shared,
“Casting couch toh nahi hua, but badtameezi hui hai. I was 21 or 22 when I visited someone’s office for a narration. There were several people present as the scene was being described — a sequence where the heroine faints in a swimming pool and the hero saves her by giving mouth-to-mouth respiration.”

She went on to recall the shocking moment that followed,
“The man actually held my face and demonstrated the mouth-to-mouth scene on me. For a split second, I froze — I couldn’t process what had just happened. I began trembling and immediately ran out. That incident stayed with me for a long time.”
Mouni chose not to reveal the identity of the individual involved, nor did she specify whether the person was an actor, director, or casting professional. However, she admitted that the experience deeply affected her sense of safety and left a lasting emotional impact. – Mouni Roy Recounts Disturbing Incident from Her Early Career
