Mouni shared that she was walking outside her university when someone from producer Ekta Kapoor’s team spotted her and tapped her on the shoulder.
Farah was surprised to hear this. She said, “Did that really happen? What are you talking about? We only hear such stories where someone was sitting in a cafe and someone spotted them.”
Confirming this, Mouni said, “But it really happened. This is exactly how I got the opportunity. It was the show ‘Kyunki’, in which I played the character of Smriti Irani di’s granddaughter.”
The character and story of Krishna Tulsi
