Summary
- Mouni Roy faced inappropriate conduct at age 21, not the "casting couch"
- A man held her face and demonstrated mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, leaving her shaken
- The incident scarred her for a long time, though she did not name the perpetrator
In November 2025, Bollywood actress Mouni Roy recounted a disturbing incident from the early stages of her career, when she was just 21 years old. While she says she never faced the infamous "casting couch", Roy revealed that she was subjected to inappropriate conduct during a meeting.
Roy explained that she had gone to someone's office for a narration, where a scene was being discussed involving a girl falling into a swimming pool and the hero performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. To her shock, the man "literally held my face and showed me mouth to mouth respiration." In that split-second, Roy was left completely shaken, unable to comprehend what had just happened. She immediately ran out of the office, an experience that "really scarred me for a real long time."
Though Roy did not name the individual responsible, her candid disclosure has added to ongoing conversations around the pervasive issues of harassment and misconduct within the entertainment industry. Her story underscores that even those who appear to have "made it" can still face vulnerabilities and carry silent scars from their early career experiences.
