Incidentally, during graduation, Monica met actor Himanshu Ashok Malhotra at a gym and he encouraged her to become an actor. Monica shares, “At that time, I had no idea where my life was heading but Himanshu did tell me about trying my hand at acting. So, I started thinking about it seriously. My father said ‘No’ instantly. But eventually, I convinced him. I joined Asmita theatre group and then there was no looking back.”
