'Gold', directed by Reema Kagti , brought together an ensemble cast featuring Akshay Kumar , Mouni Roy , Vineet Kumar Singh, Amit Sadh, and Kunal Kapoor . The sports drama told the story of India’s historic first Olympic gold medal in hockey after independence. During its shoot, the atmosphere on set was often described as friendly and playful, with cast members frequently interacting during breaks.
Akshay Kumar talks about on-set bonding
During promotional interviews in Delhi in 2018, Akshay Kumar spoke about the camaraderie shared among the cast. As reported by DNA India, he said, "We are friends. We enjoy ourselves. I play a lot of games with them, and there has not been even one day on the sets that we haven’t played." The actor highlighted how the team spent time bonding through games and informal interactions between shoots.
The “Snob” comment
In a humorous moment during the interaction, Akshay jokingly referred to Mouni Roy’s on-set habits. He said, "Mouni wouldn't play any games. She was a snob on the sets of the film!" (laughs)
Mouni Roy’s simple preference for indoor games
Mouni Roy responded to the comment by clarifying her preference for indoor games. She explained that she enjoyed playing games such as ludo and snakes and ladders. Akshay Kumar agreed and added that she also took part in activities like dumb charades and other indoor games with the team. Reflecting on his approach towards co-stars, he said, "So, I just enjoy with them. I don’t have any approach. It is not like- I have been in the industry for 28 years now and they are new, so I will act differently. My approach towards them is that they are really good friends, and I try to learn and gain from them as much as possible."
Mouni Roy and Suraj Nambiar 's strained relationship
In recent days, Mouni Roy’s personal life has also been in the spotlight due to speculation on social media regarding her relationship with Suraj Nambiar. The actress addressed the rumors through her Instagram Stories, requesting privacy. She wrote, “Humbly requesting all the media houses to not publish false narratives and give us space and privacy. Please.”
Mouni and Suraj first met in 2018 in Dubai through mutual friends. After dating for several years, they tied the knot in Goa in 2022 with traditional ceremonies and celebrations. Sharing her wedding photos at the time, she wrote, “I found him at last.. Hand in hand, blessed by family and friends, We're married! Need your love and blessing.
