Speaking to Mouni (@imouniroy), one can sense the fire that tracks with her fierce onscreen personas. But there’s also a rare thahrav, rooted in self-love. “For me, self-care is more about energy than routines. I start my mornings with gratitude, some form of movement or yoga, and quiet time without the phone. I love lighting incense, reading a few pages of a book, and spending time with my plants. It’s my way of staying connected to myself,” the actress explains in our cover story. Mouni Roy is dressed in a beautiful pastel pink set with subtle shimmery details from Wishful (@wishfulbyw).
