'Dukh hota hai ki Industry aise batt chuki hai jo maine kabhi dekha nahi tha. Humlog ek family the, aur hamesha rahenge, thoda bhatak gaye hai. Main yahi kehna chahta hoon ki har picture important hoti hai ye industry ke liye and har picture ko woh mauka dena chahiye. (It is disheartening that the industry has been divided which I had not seen before. We have been a family, and will always be, but have gone a little off-track lately. All I want to say is every picture is important for the industry and every movie should get an equal opportunity). The distributors and cinema owners, everybody should be equal with films,' he said. The actor also lamented that his film is not getting enough push. "Chalo Bhootnii ko itna zor nahi diya ja raha hai lekin mujhe pata hai ye picture bahut aage niklegi. (Bhootnii might not have got much limelight but I feel the film will do well). I request the film industry to be together as a family again and let's help each other so that the film industry grows," he added.

(Also Read: The Bhootnii: Sanjay Dutt channels 'desi Blade' as he fights 'bhootni' Mouni Roy in horror-comedy) During the trailer launch of her upcoming film The Bhootnii, the actor was seen in a new look with bangs. Many internet users speculated that she had undergone cosmetic surgery that had gone wrong. A bunch of her synthetically-generated videos are also doing the rounds on social media, showing her with raised eyebrows and larger cheekbones. Reacting to the comments, Mouni said, "Initially, when I read those comments… till date, sometimes I see those AI videos, and suddenly you feel… it's so cringe, you can't… and it's yourself, right? Imagine how you feel looking at somebody else. And when I see my face distorted over other people's bodies, it's disgusting, right? So sometimes you do feel like, where are these kinds of people going… What do they want to achieve with it? What is the aim? Because all you are collecting are people's curses and bad wishes. Nobody can wish well for someone who's doing that." She spoke about feeling pity for people hiding behind screens and spreading negativity to get likes, saying, 'Initially, when I'd come on Instagram and I'd get a lot of hate, I'd actually make the effort of going to their profiles and blocking them… Now I feel very pitiful. I feel you should pray for them. These are phantom people, hiding behind their screens, writing all these things. You can either be a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty person. I can't negate the love I receive from my fans… I genuinely feel that section of the internet, like socials, has become a very, very nasty place because people are genuinely just writing rubbish and vicious things about others just to get likes." Mouni will next be seen opposite Sanjay Dutt in the horror film The Bhootnii. Written and directed by Sidhaant Sachdev, and produced by Deepak Mukut and Sanjay Dutt, the film also stars Sunny Singh, Palak Tiwari, and Navneet Malik in key roles. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on 1 May, clashing with Raid 2, starring Ajay Devgn, Vaani Kapoor, and Riteish Deshmukh.

(Also Read: The Bhootnii: Sanjay Dutt channels 'desi Blade' as he fights 'bhootni' Mouni Roy in horror-comedy) Recalling the unsettling incident, Mouni said, "I was in a small town — I can't remember exactly which one, and I don't want to name it incorrectly. Someone actually stole a key and tried to open my room. Thankfully, I wasn't alone; I was with my manager. I immediately started screaming when we realised what was happening." She went on to question the hotel staff's casual approach to the serious security breach and added, "Then we tried calling the receptionist. They casually said it must have been housekeeping. I questioned them — who in housekeeping comes to open a door without knocking, without ringing the bell, and that too at 12:30 in the night?' Mouni Roy began her acting career with the television show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. However, she gained fame later for her portrayal of Sati in Devon Ke and Shivanya in Naagin. She went on to entertain audiences in films like Gold and Brahmāstra, earning critical praise for her performances. Mouni will next be seen in the horror film The Bhootnii, which also stars Sanjay Dutt in the lead role. She plays a ghost named Mohabbat. Directed by Sidhaant Sachdev and produced by Deepak Mukut and Sanjay Dutt, the film also features Palak Tiwari, Sunny Singh, and Navneet Malik in key roles. It is scheduled for release in cinemas on 1 May. The film will clash at the box office with Ajay Devgn's Raid 2, which also stars Vaani Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh in pivotal roles.
