Actress Mouni Roy found herself in an uncomfortable situation after an outing with actress and television host Anusha Dandekar on Tuesday evening, July 14. A video circulating on social media shows Mouni becoming visibly upset as photographers continued filming her even after she had entered her car. The incident has since sparked conversations online about celebrity privacy and paparazzi boundaries.
According to the viral clip, Mouni and Anusha were leaving a venue when photographers gathered around to capture their departure. Even after Mouni was seated inside her vehicle, cameras continued recording through the car window. The actress repeatedly requested the paparazzi to stop filming, firmly saying, “Band karo!” (“Stop it!”), expressing her discomfort with the continued attention.
As the situation escalated, Anusha Dandekar stepped in and gestured to the photographers, urging them to respect Mouni’s request. She also appeared to calm her friend before the vehicle drove away. At the time of writing, Mouni Roy has not issued any public statement regarding the incident.
The video has generated mixed reactions on social media. While many users defended Mouni’s right to privacy and criticized the paparazzi for filming her inside the car, others debated the boundaries between celebrity coverage and personal space. Some social media posts also included unverified claims about Mouni’s personal life; however, these remain speculative and have not been confirmed by the actress.
The incident comes shortly after Mouni Roy and businessman Suraj Nambiar publicly confirmed their separation. In a joint statement shared earlier this year, the former couple said they were navigating the separation privately and amicably while expressing gratitude for the friendship they continue to share. They had married in Goa in January 2022 after dating for several years.
On the professional front, Mouni was recently seen in the web series Ab Hoga Hisaab alongside Sanjay Kapoor, Shaheer Sheikh, Nimrat Kaur Ahluwalia, and Avinash Mishra. She will next be seen in Madhur Bhandarkar’s The Wives, which also features Shalini Passi.
