Actor
Mouni
Roy
recently
opened
up
about
being
tested
for
the
Novel
Coronavirus
numerous
times
while
she
has
been
traveling
across
the
UAE,
UK
and
Maldives,
over
the
last
seven
months.
Speaking
to
Mumbai
Mirror,
Mouni
Roy
shared
that
she
left
for
UAE
from
India
in
March
to
spend
time
with
her
family.
Currently
still
abroad,
she
never
thought
she
would
end
up
spending
time
away
from
India
for
more
than
seven
months
when
she
left.
Mouni
could
not
return
to
India
despite
the
travel
restrictions
being
eased
because
she
had
a
shoot
in
the
UK
and
other
work
commitments
in
Dubai.
She
further
said
that
she
flew
to
Maldives
more
recently
to
bring
in
her
birthday
with
three
of
her
friends.
Mouni
hopes
to
be
back
this
month
(October).
Testing
for
COVID-19
is
one
thing
that
no
traveler
can
go
without
in
these
unusual
times.
Talking
about
opting
for
Maldives,
which
has
zero
Covid
cases,
as
the
destination
to
ring
in
her
birthday,
Mouni
said,
"As
soon
as
you
reach,
they
ask
you
to
change
and
a
doctor
arrives
to
do
a
test.
Results
come
the
next
morning
and
only
then
are
you
allowed
to
walk
freely
on
the
island,
even
without
masks."
On
her
work
trip
to
the
UK,
she
said,
"Nobody
knew
what
to
expect,
but
everyone
followed
the
rules
with
only
one
department
present
on
set
at
a
time.
If
the
lights
team
was
working,
the
direction
team
wasn't
there.
There
were
separate
holding
areas,
so
not
many
people
were
together
at
one
place.
Plus,
there
were
compulsory
swab
tests
every
week." She
added,
"In
the
last
seven
months,
my
nose
and
throat
have
been
swabbed
around
seven
times,
it's
uncomfortable
and
painful,
but
necessary.
Luckily,
no
one
fell
ill
on
our
set."
Talking
about
work,
Mouni
made
her
OTT
debut
recently
with
London
Confidential,
a
web
series
which
is
streaming
on
Zee5.
Mouni
plays
a
RAW
agent
in
the
spy
thriller.
