Mouni Roy on bagging ‘Gold’ opposite Akshay Kumar

After keeping silent about her big Bollywood break, Mouni Roy has finally lift the lid on her much anticipated film debut with ‘Gold’.

Talking to Hindustan Times, Roy told the publication about how she felt when she heard she had bagged the film, “For the longest time, I didn’t know if I would be doing it or not. Two months after the audition, I got a text from the casting representative saying I was shortlisted. Eventually, it worked out and I was very happy. I am a person of disbelief and confusion and nerves, so good news takes a lot of time to sink in.”

About how she felt now, Roy said, “I couldn’t be happier. I couldn’t get luckier. It couldn’t have been better. This is as good as it gets. I am so excited to be part of Gold, a film starring Akshay sir. I had auditioned and had been shortlisted for a lot of other films, but nothing worked out. I believe everything happens for a reason and I guess this was supposed to be my start.”

Roy also confirmed that she won’t be quitting the television industry.
