While speaking to Apoorva Mukhija on Spice It Up, Mouni shared that although she never faced the casting couch, she did encounter inappropriate behaviour. She recalled being just 21 or 22 years old when she visited an office for a narration session. “There was a scene where the girl falls into a swimming pool, loses consciousness, and the hero gives her mouth-to-mouth respiration. Suddenly, the man held my face and demonstrated it on me,” she said.

The incident caught her completely off guard. “In that one split second, I didn’t understand what had happened. I started shaking and immediately ran out. It really scarred me for a long time,” Mouni added, describing how the experience left a lasting emotional impact on her.
