Mondera set to show off her dance chops

With just two films under her belt, Mondera Chakroborty has already managed to gain a massive following on social media. Her glamorous avatar, soothing expressions, and alluring screen presence have made her one of the most talked-about actresses in showbiz.

“I have been in the media since 2012, but I didn’t do much work back then. When I started working in films, I came in with the mindset that I would be doing a lot more. When my first film, Kajol Rekha, was released in theatres during Eid, I was really anxious about how the audience would accept me on the silver screen. But when I visited the halls, people showered me with so much love.”

She continued, “Honestly, when I watch myself acting, I feel embarrassed. I keep noticing my flaws and feel like I’m not giving my best. Yet, when people come up and compliment my performance, it feels like a true blessing. I just hope people continue to love me through my acting.” Mondera has been passionate about the art form since she was three years old.

“Dance has always drawn me in. I have participated in numerous competitions, including Channel i Shera Nachiye. The last time I counted, back in 2014-2015, I had around 70 certificates. Although I don’t get to practice much nowadays, I still want to continue dancing whenever I can,” she revealed.

This year, Mondera is set to step onto the stage for her first-ever performance at the Blender’s Choice–The Daily Star OTT & Digital Content Awards. “I am really excited since this will be my first performance at the big event. Everyone from the media industry will be there, and most of them are very close to me. I truly hope they will enjoy it. My background is in classical dance, especially Kathak, which I’ve practiced for a long time. But people haven’t really seen me perform much in Western styles. Maybe this time they’ll get to see that. Fingers crossed — let’s see how everyone responds,” she said.

Recently, her glamorous birthday sequence went viral on social media. Wearing a crown and cutting a cake, she exuded a diva-like charm. “Simply cutting a cake felt too ordinary. In other countries, people often do themed birthday shoots, so I thought, why not try it too? I was delighted when people appreciated the entire sequence,” she said.

Mondera Chakroborty’s glamorous avatar is undeniable, but a glamorous appearance can sometimes make it difficult for actors to land challenging roles. She, however, is determined to break that mold. “The two characters I played in Kajol Rekha and Neel Chokro were both sweet and simple. They were different in their own ways, but as an actress, I know I can take on a variety of roles. I’ve even said in interviews that if I were offered the role of a villain, I would be able to pull it off perfectly. I want people to see me in a different light,” she concluded.
