She says she is always ready to embrace the surprise that life has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe best part of our journey is that we have to have the will to be surprised by life. I am saying from my personal experience, that if I am thinking too much about the future and running after something, I will miss out on the present. So whenever an opportunity came my way, whether it was an acting assignment, dance or singing, I just tried to focus on that,\u201d Mouni said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recalling her early days, Mouni said, \u201cInitially, I wanted to become an IAS officer but no\u2026 it is great that at a very young age, I found my calling and carved my path. This is what I want to live for, forever\u2026 my dance, my acting are what I want to live for because I am the happiest when I am performing. I did explore my dancing skills and I showcase them too. After doing a show like \u2018Kyunki\u2026\u2019 and reality TV shows, nobody would have picked up a show like \u2018Mahadev\u2019 because it was the character of a Goddess.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting her career in 2004, Mouni got noticed by the audience for her role in the TV show titled Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. She went on to appear in shows like Zara Nachke Dikha, Nach Baliye, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, Devon Ke Dev\u2026Mahadev and Naagin before making her Bollywood debut in 2018 with the film Gold. She also has films like Brahmastra, Made in China and Bole Chudiyan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked how the success of television helped her to enter Bollywood, the actress said: \u201cProbably that is the reason why I got the calls for the look tests and auditions but at the end of the day, it is about my talent and if I am fitting into the character. Yes, of course, they can see my acting skills in the work that I have done on television, but the characters I am playing are very different from say a Shivangi in Naagin or a Sati in Mahadev. So I think I have to look at every character and opportunity differently and my popularity on TV won\u2019t help if I cannot act.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is playing a pivotal role in the John Abraham-starrer Romeo Akbar Walter that is releasing on April 5.
