Mouni Roy Hints No Major Offers After Brahmastra: ‘Difficult To Get Roles As Outsider'
Last Updated: Mouni Roy reveals how, even after Brahmastra, outsiders like her struggle to get meaningful roles in Bollywood and OTT, highlighting industry challenges. Actress Mouni Roy, widely praised for her powerful role as Junoon in Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva, recently spoke candidly about the challenges outsiders face in the entertainment industry. Known for her impactful performances, including her recent role as a spy in the web series Salakaar, Mouni highlighted how difficult it remains for non-industry actors to secure meaningful roles despite talent and prior success. In an interview with Zoom, Mouni said, 'You're as big as your last project. It's very difficult to get roles here as an outsider. It's a constant struggle all the time. So I choose from whatever little offer I get and I try to choose well." Her words reveal the ongoing struggle behind the glamour of Bollywood, where opportunities for outsiders can be scarce and competitive. Mouni Urges Equal Opportunities for Talented Outsiders Mouni Roy also stressed the need for more equitable chances for actors who come from outside the film industry's traditional networks. 'All the talented actors from outside should be given the same opportunities to audition for good parts, and their names should be taken in important rooms. I have never shied away from auditioning," she told Zoom. Her perspective sheds light on a larger conversation about inclusivity in Indian cinema and OTT platforms. Despite the rise of digital streaming, where diverse stories and talents can thrive, Mouni's experience shows that systemic barriers still exist. As Salakaar streams in six languages on JioHotstar and Mouni continues to take on strong roles, her candid reflections encourage both industry insiders and audiences to support talent regardless of background. view comments First Published: August 09, 2025, 01:56 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Raksha Bandhan 2025: How rakhis and love shaped Harbhajan Singh's longest innings
From stadium cheers to family laughter in Jalandhar, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh says one thing has never changed — the love of his five sisters. For the prolific off-spinner, Raksha Bandhan has always been a special occasion, no matter where cricket took him. Harbhajan Singh talks about his memories with his sisters. 'I love the occasion,' he says at the outset. 'By God's grace, I have five sisters, and ever since I was a kid, it was a special occasion. My entire aim used to be to ensure that my hand looked full with rakhis — and I requested all my sisters to get big rakhis, so they would solve the purpose,' adds Harbhajan. The 45-year-old credits much of his long cricketing career to their support. 'One of the biggest reasons I played so long for India is because of my family… even when I was not in the best of forms, they would help me overcome those times,' he recalls, remembering the emotional hugs after India's 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup wins. His elder sister Bakshish Kaur says pampering their only brother came naturally . 'He really loved to see his arms full of rakhis, so we used to get big- big rakhis for him,' she laughs addint that she is proud of the heights achieved by her brother. 'Even today, we can't put into words how proud we are of him,' she says. Even when matches kept him away from home during the festival, Harbhajan tied every rakhi sent to him and made sure to share pictures with his sisters. Now, he marks the day with his children, passing on the same values he grew up with. 'I want to teach my son that not just brothers, but even sisters can take care of their brothers — just like mine did,' he says.
