Long before making her way into the film industry, actress Mouni Roy was a student of one of the best colleges of the country. She was a part of the 2005 batch of Miranda House's BA English (Hons) program. It was her love for reading which propelled her to take the course. In a recent conversation with a news outlet, the actress recalled the wonderful time she spent in college.

"I’ve always loved books, reading them, diving into them, being in them, learning from them and growing with them. Which is why I knew from very early on — I think from std VI or VII — the only subject that I truly loved was literature, both Hindi and English. Stories are something that really attract me, be it fiction, non-fiction or biography, I just love them all. I’m still very much invested in literature, and read a lot. So yes, I’m a nerd and a very proud bookkeeper!," she said.

Talking about her hangout places around the campus, Mouni said, "Around the campus, it had to be Kamla Nagar! There was a small community centre where we all would hangout and have aloo parantha. I still remember relishing desi Chinese with Schezwan sauce, and lots of coffee. I vividly remember, there used to be a park in our community centre. We used to walk and talk lying on the grass without looking at our watches... those were different times, it feels like a different lifetime already."
