Most starlets made inroads into TV & films with a ‘Mission Impossible’ – to become a part of the tinsel world, if not a super star, to fulfill their childhood dream. Interestingly, Mouni Roy, the starlet who debuted with Star Plus extravaganza “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi”(2007), has fulfilled first part of her childhood dream & to realize the latter part of her fantasy (achieving stardom) she has already begun to climb up -to the summit of stardom- in the right earnest, though slowly and steadily.
