WHO IS MOUNI ROY?
Mouni Roy is one of Indian television’s most celebrated and recognisable faces. Born on September 28, 1985, in Cooch Behar, West Bengal, she moved to Mumbai to pursue her dream of acting and quickly made her mark on the small screen. She is best known for her iconic role as Shivanya in the supernatural drama Naagin (2015), which became a massive cultural phenomenon and ran for multiple seasons, making her a household name across India.
Before Naagin, Mouni had already built a strong fanbase through her portrayal of Krishna Tulsi in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and her lead role in Devon Ke Dev… Mahadev as Sati. Her striking screen presence, classical dance training, and expressive performances won her several awards and a devoted following on social media, where she has amassed tens of millions of followers.
In 2018, she successfully transitioned to Bollywood with her debut in Gold alongside Akshay Kumar, earning critical appreciation for a natural big-screen shift. She went on to appear in Romeo Akbar Walter, Made in China, and most notably played the formidable antagonist Junoon in Ayan Mukerji’s grand fantasy epic Brahmastra: Part One Shiva (2022), starring alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. Her villainous turn in the film received widespread praise and cemented her place as a versatile film actress.
Who Is Suraj Nambiar?
Unlike his former wife, Suraj Nambiar largely stays away from the public eye. He is a Dubai-based entrepreneur with roots in the business and hospitality sectors. Suraj came into the public consciousness primarily through his relationship with Mouni Roy, and the couple’s wedding in Goa became one of the most talked-about celebrity ceremonies of early 2022.
The intimate Goa ceremony brought together close family, friends, and select members from the film fraternity. It was a picture-perfect event both traditional and joyful and photographs from their big day swept across social media, drawing congratulations from across the entertainment world. Suraj was widely noted by Mouni’s fans and colleagues as someone who stood steadfastly beside her during her rapid rise in films.
