I was overwhelmed to meet my family after such a long time-Mouni Roy

On the trip, the Gold actress took the opportunity to visit a place that was on her wish list for a very long time — the Meenakshi Temple (Arulmigu Meenakshi Sundareshwarar Temple). Talking about the reunion, Mouni told BT, “I missed my family a lot and was overwhelmed to meet them after such a long time. My mom got me a lot of goodies from our hometown, Cooch Behar (West Bengal). It was fun chilling with my brother, too, after a long time. Earlier, he was like a child to me, but now that he’s a grown-up, we have become more like friends. The trip was all about reminiscing childhood days and gorging on lip-smacking South Indian food.”
The actress says that this trip turned out to be nothing short of a culinary delight. She adds, “I literally drowned myself in pongal and munched daily on crunchy papadums. I also loved the delicious avakkai pickle, and a must have for me was the lip-smacking podi, which is gunpowder mixed with ghee. In Madurai, it was quite a calorie fest and we ate our hearts out without any regrets.”
I have been oscillating between anxiety and calmness-Mouni Roy

What was to be a four-day work trip in Abu Dhabi has turned into a two-month stay for Mouni Roy. The actor had headed to the UAE capital in March for a magazine shoot, only weeks before the Indian government banned international flights due to the Coronavirus outbreak. "After the shoot, I decided to stay back in Abu Dhabi for two weeks, as my next project was scheduled to kick off only on April 15. I was possibly ignorant, but I didn't imagine that the world will shut down. I have been stuck here with four days' clothes," says Roy, who is staying with a childhood friend.
She is also concerned about her family in Cooch Behar. "I have been checking on them every day. I am relieved that my brother is by mom's side at this time. My cousins also live close by, that's an added advantage."
Even as she is grateful to have found a home away from home, Roy is keen to return to the country. "I have been oscillating between anxiety and calmness. Everybody around the world is going through a hard time. So, I sought solace in the fact that I have a roof over my head and a warm family, away from home. That said, I am eager to return to India."
