Rumours of Mouni Roy’s impending wedding with businessman Suraj Nambiar have been doing the rounds. The actress is likely to tie the knot on January 27 in Goa. However, known to be guarded about her personal life, this time, too, Mouni chooses to remain tight-lipped about it. In a chat with Bombay Times, she says, “I don’t like to talk about my personal life.”

While her lips are sealed about developments in her personal life, she is excited about the progress she is making on the professional front. Last seen in the film Velle, she is looking forward to the release of Brahmastra, which stars Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. She says, “I am working on interesting projects, and hopefully, they will be announced one after the other. I am looking forward to 2022.”

Interestingly, Mouni is also set to return to the small screen after five years as a judge on Dance India Dance Li’l Masters Season 5. The actress started her acting career with TV shows like Kyunki...Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev and catapulted to fame with the supernatural thriller, Naagin. Talking about her new role as a judge, she shares, “I am excited and nervous because this is my maiden outing as a judge on a reality show. When I was offered Dance India Dance Li’l Masters, the first thing that crossed my mind was how graceful Madhuri Dixit ma’am, Remo D’Souza sir, and Karan Johar sir were during my season of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. We would listen to them and follow their suggestions. So, I suddenly feel the responsibility, as I assume this new role and am

extremely grateful for this opportunity.”

Mouni insists that she hasn’t quit TV. “I am a very proud TV actor. I didn’t quit TV, but it was just a matter of commitment. As an actor, I aspire to play versatile characters. However, a project on TV translates into a commitment for a year or two. Now, that’s something I had alienated myself from for a while. But becoming a part of this show feels just right. I love dancing and kids. When an opportunity like that comes your way, you don’t ask questions… you take it up (smiles),” she concludes.
