“My father always taught me to never be quiet. That's the good thing ab...” — Mouni Roy Quote

My father always taught me to never be quiet. That's the good thing about a Bengali household.

I still remember how my father used to wake me up at 4 A.M. and make me study. He also used to take me for a walk and then always dropped me to school. I was very disciplined, as my father inculcated those values in me. Now that my father is no more, I understand that you should not take your parents for granted.

I know that gossip comes with a territory. It's a professional hazard, and while initially, I'd get a little riled, I've now learnt to handle it well. And honestly speaking, it's all very good publicity, isn't it?

I got roles from good production houses, though I wasn't keen on them, as I was asked to - and I won't - wear a bikini in a film. I'm not conservative, as I'd wear it on holidays, but definitely not in front of the camera. I have to think of my family.

Recently, I did the Bengali film 'Rang Milanti,' directed by Kaushik Ganguly. I think my role in that is much better than in 'Kahaani.'

As I grew, I began learning and speaking a word or two in Bengali and that increased my friends circle.

I took a vow that I would see a Bengali film song playing at a nightclub.

I am a Bengali guy from Kolkata, who started singing at the age of 10.

I made my first foray into acting with a Bengali film 'Gane Bhuban Bhariye Debo.'
