Arjun Bijlani Defends Mouni Roy, Claims She Is Being Targeted: ‘Comments About Her Sexuality, Drinking…’

Television actors Arjun Bijlani and Mouni Roy’s long-time friendship recently came under scrutiny after a video of the two at a dinner outing sparked dating speculation. Arjun had addressed the rumours last month, slamming clickbait social media pages for giving their friendship a romantic angle. Now, the actor has opened up about what prompted him to respond to the speculation. Speaking with Telly Talk India, Arjun revealed that he initially chose to ignore the rumours. However, seeing people close to him react to the speculation eventually made him reconsider his decision to stay silent. Arjun also defended Mouni, claiming that someone is trying to defame her by making baseless claims about her sexuality and drinking.

Arjun Bijlani Rubbishes Dating Rumours With Mouni Roy

While addressing the viral video that claimed he and Mouni are dating, Arjun Bijlani pointed out that spending time together is nothing unusual for him and Mouni. He said the two have gone out for dinner many times and have always shared a close friendship.

“If seven or eight people are going for dinner, it’s not like we are going for the first time. We have gone out for dinner together 50 times. Mouni and I have also gone out for dinner alone and chilled together. So, I honestly don’t know why someone wrote that,” Arjun said.

He said that while he initially ignored the rumours, their friend Krystle D’Souza called it out claiming it was ‘nonsense’. “People who know us obviously commented on the post. So I felt that if my friends were speaking up and I didn’t, it would be wrong,” he said. Arjun said he felt it was only fair to set the record straight and call out what he described as a ‘very stupid’ narrative.

Someone Is Trying To Defame Mouni, Says Arjun Bijlani

He further claimed that someone has been trying to malign Mouni’s image, spreading baseless comments about her sexuality and drinking, when she is going through a tough time. “And honestly, I feel that for quite some time now, someone has been trying to defame Mouni. I don’t know who,” he said.

“She is going through a tough phase in her life. First, there were some comments about her sexuality, then someone said something about her drinking. I mean, everyone goes to parties. Everyone enjoys themselves. That’s normal,” he said.

Arjun said such remarks are unfair and should not shape perceptions about a person. He added that while he can choose to ignore gossip, others may find it harder to do so.

Arjun’s wife Neha Swamy also called his dating rumours with Mouni rubbish and said, “And that day I was also supposed to go. I just happened to not go.”

Arjun and Mouni have been friends for more than a decade. The two first worked together on Ektaa Kapoor’s supernatural drama Naagin, where their professional association gradually turned into a close bond off-screen as well.

This isn’t the first time Arjun has addressed speculation about their relationship. After their dinner outing video surfaced, he had taken to social media to call out the rumours. He pointed out that a friendship spanning over 15 years does not suddenly turn romantic simply because two people are spotted together.
