India Today
New bride Mouni Roy began her acting career with Ekta Kapoor's popular TV show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. She later rose to fame with Devon Ke Dev Mahadev and established herself as a star with Naagin. Now, we can't wait to watch her in Brahmastra.
Mouni Roy, who tied the knot with boyfriend Suraj Nambiar, today, January 27, needs no introduction. The actress, who will soon be seen in Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt-starrer Brahmastra, made her acting debut in Ekta Kapoor's popular soap Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi in 2006. However, much before the TV show, she was seen in Abhishek Bachchan's Run as a background dancer in 2004. On Mouni's wedding day, here's looking back at her journey in showbiz:
From a background dancer in Run to becoming an established name in the Hindi entertainment industry, Mouni Roy has come a long way in these 17 years. The actress rose to fame with Naagin, a supernatural show that revolved around the revenge story of a shape-shifting snake. But, the Gold actress first impressed the audience with her acting chops in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi as Krishna Tulsi, an orphan raised by Tulsi (Smriti Irani) in Haridwar. She was seen opposite Pulkit Samrat on the show.
Naturally, Smriti Irani took to Instagram to congratulate Mouni on her wedding to Suraj Nambiar.
Moving on. Mouni, who hails from Cooch Behar, West Bengal, rose to fame with her role of Sati and Parvati in Life OK's (now a defunct channel) Devon Ke Dev Mahadev. She was seen opposite Mohit Raina, who played the role of Lord Shiva on the show. The mythological series was a huge hit, which helped the actress to get a huge fan following.
After impressing everyone as the Goddess, Mouni's popularity grew manifold with Naagin. The supernatural drama, which was a finite show, was a TRP topper. Week after week, the show ruled the ratings charts and made Mouni a household name. In Season 1, Mouni played Shivanya, opposite Arjun Bijlani. She was seen in a double role in Naagin 2, opposite Karenvir Bohra. Fans loved her on-screen chemistry with both Arjun and Karenvir on the show.
