"I’m Traumatized": Mouni Roy Breaks Silence on 'Disgusting' Harassment

In a raw and courageous revelation that has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, actress Mouni Roy has detailed a harrowing experience of harassment during a recent performance in Karnal. Taking to social media to voice her "disgust," the Naagin star described a night where professional boundaries were shattered by "entitled" guests and lewd misconduct. From inappropriate touching to verbal abuse, Roy’s account isn’t just a personal grievance—it’s a scathing indictment of the lack of security and respect female artists face in the line of duty.

A Night of Horror: What Happened in Karnal?

The incident occurred on January 24, 2026, during a performance where Mouni was a guest. According to her detailed Instagram stories, the harassment began the moment she arrived. As she walked toward the stage, several men—including family members of the event hosts—allegedly placed their hands on her waist under the guise of clicking photos.

Despite Mouni’s clear verbal objection—"Sir, please remove your hand"—the behavior did not stop. The ordeal escalated significantly once she was on stage:

• Lewd Conduct: Two elderly men in the front row allegedly made obscene hand gestures and lewd remarks throughout her performance.

• Hostile Heckling: When Mouni politely gestured for them to stop, they reportedly responded by throwing roses at her and shouting insults.

• Voyeuristic Filming: Mouni revealed that because the stage was elevated, these men were intentionally filming low-angle videos. When others asked them to stop, the men reportedly responded with verbal abuse.

"No One Intervened": The Failure of Organizers

Perhaps the most distressing part of the actress's account was the total lack of protection. Mouni revealed that despite her visible trauma—at one point even walking toward the stage exit in frustration—neither the organizers nor the host family took any steps to remove the offenders.

"They didn’t stop even after that and no family or organisers moved them from up front," Mouni wrote. "If someone like me has to go through this, I can only imagine what new girls starting to work and do shows must face."

A viral video from the event reportedly shows Mouni storming off stage briefly, visibly shaken, before returning to complete her professional commitment—a move fans have hailed as "Queen behavior."

The Industry Rallies Behind Roy

The incident has sparked a massive outcry, with the hashtag #MouniRoy trending as fans and colleagues demand accountability.

• Mimi Chakraborty, actor and politician, shared a similar account of public humiliation shortly after, stating that "dignity on stage is non-negotiable."

• Bhumi Pednekar and other Bollywood stars have lauded Mouni for her bravery in "naming and shaming" the entitlement that often goes unchecked at private events.

Final Thoughts: Dignity Over Dollars

Mouni Roy’s experience is a grim reminder that even high-profile celebrities are not immune to harassment in professional settings. By speaking out, she has forced a conversation on the "masculine entitlement" that treats female performers as objects rather than invited guests. As the actress calls for authorities to take notice, the focus remains on whether event organizers will finally prioritize artist safety over guest satisfaction.
