Mouni Roy Talks Stereotypes Faced in Her Acting Career
Mouni Roy, a famous actress, talked about how people have always put her into specific acting boxes, or 'stereotypes'.
When she started, they thought she could only play ordinary girl roles.
Then, after a dance show, they said she should only do glamorous parts.
Later, after playing roles in shows, people thought she should only play Indian characters.
She explains that even after showing she can do different types of roles, the stereotypes don't always disappear.
It's like people need to see her in a role before they believe she can do it.
She also mentions that social media has helped people see her real self.
Mouni Roy, a TV star, discussed being stereotyped in the entertainment industry.
She was initially typecast as a girl-next-door after her first show.
