I had a very protective childhood: Monica

Monica Chaudhary, who hails from Delhi, debuts with the character of Anusha in Alt Balaji’s new web series Apharan. Monica has four years of theatre experience. Speaking on her inclination towards the craft of acting she says, “I had a very protective childhood since I came into my parent’s life after 17 years of their marriage.”

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.”
