Mouni Roy, renowned for her roles in television and Bollywood, has candidly shared that she has faced typecasting since her debut in the industry. In a recent interview with News18, she reflected on how perceptions around her roles have remained surprisingly persistent.
Mouni Roy opens up about being typecast throughout her career; says, “I’ve always dealt with, and it doesn’t really bother me”
“I have been typecast since the beginning of my career. 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.”
Roy added that labels like glamorous or outlandish no longer affect her perspective. “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.”
Despite the challenges of being pigeonholed, Roy remains ambitious and eager for diverse opportunities.
She is currently starring in the JioHotstar drama Salakaar and has signed on for David Dhawan’s upcoming film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, set to release in 2026.
