Mouni Roy and Suraj Nambiar tied the knot in 2022.
Mouni Roy says that her friends look up to her for suggestions and opinions when it comes to their love life.
“I have always been good at giving advice,” says Mouni Roy, who will soon turn into the queen of hearts in the upcoming youth-based reality show Temptation Island which will be airing on Jio Cinema. The actor along with Karan Kundrra will be seen giving relationship advice to real-life couples on the show.
Mouni says that her friends look up to her for suggestions and opinions when it comes to their love life, “That is why I thought I could do this show. And it’s not only about relationships with their partners, but my friends call me if they need any help at their workspace. And I usually give an unbiased, fair point of view and opinion on it.”
Talking about the show, the Bharmastra actor feels that ‘temptation’ is a forever concept. “Temptation Island is one of the world’s biggest reality shows. It is happening in India for the first time. It’s a very earnest concept about couples who are exploring their relationship; they come to this island away from their partner on a thrilling journey as they openly confront their issues and desires to test the strength of their love.”
At a time when partners are chosen at the click of a button with the help of dating apps, Mouni feels certain qualities are essential for a healthy relationship, “First of all you need to have self-love. If you don’t love yourself, you can’t love your partner. I also believe that people need to be patient. Today, we have so many options that people do not give each other a chance. You need to understand the relationship, be honest about your feelings and the utmost thing is to respect each other.”
The actor tied the knot in 2022 to Dubai-based businessman and investment banker Suraj Nambiar. Ask her how romantic she is and she says, “I am a hard-core romantic person. I believe in old school romance and for me writing letters and having long conversations over the phone is romantic. Suraj and I have known each other for five years and it was very organic with us. It was a typical boy-meets-girl and we realised that we complement each other in many ways.”
