Mouni Roy have long been surrounded by rumours of her sexuality. The rumours got particularly intense after she announced separation from her husband Suraj Nambiar. The ‘Brahmastra’ star, who has been linked to fellow actress Disha Patani, recently broke silence on the buzz about her sexual orientation.During an appearance on Monika Sharma’s YouTube talk show, Mouni was asked to reveal the fakest piece of gossip she had encountered about herself within the entertainment industry. Responding immediately, she identified speculation about her sexual orientation as the most unusual rumour she had heard circulating about her.Her candid remark attracted attention, particularly because it came only a few weeks after she publicly confirmed that she and Suraj had decided to part ways.Reflecting on the period after the separation, the actress said that she coped with the difficult period due to having a strong support system. “I feel very lucky that I have always had friends and family who have stood by me like a rock,” she said.The actress also emphasised on the importance of having close girl friends and solid female friendships. She said that such friendships were necessary as they uplift you. “I have always had great girlfriends to support me. They have been there through my good, bad and ugly phases. It is very important to have women like that in your life — the ones who uplift you. My girlfriends are the best,” she said.Mouni and Suraj, who tied the knot in 2022, announced their separation via Instagram.“After thoughtful reflection on evolving personal priorities, we have mutually chosen to move forward on separate paths with respect and understanding. At this point, we are focused on navigating this phase thoughtfully and privately. We will endeavour to cherish our friendship in times to come,” a part of their statement read.
