Amit Tandon: Whatever I see of Mouni Roy today, that is not the person I know

Amit Tandon has been grabbing headlines for his recent revelation about how Mouni Roy left him and his wife, Ruby Tandon, when they were in trouble. While he mentioned that he doesn't ever want to see her again, he spoke a little more to India Forums about the issue, and without getting into details, mentioned how everything he is saying comes from a place of being hurt.

Ask him to talk about it, he does have a lot to say...

If you notice, whatever I have spoken so far, this isn't the first time such a question has been asked, but when I first spoke about it, I wanted to empty my mind. I have always believed in being true to yourself, because how will you be true to others. In my case, I believe only those can hurt you, whom you are attached to.  Mouni lived in my house, from Kyunki days when she came into the industry till probably she was in Naagin. The thing is that I saw a lot of changes in her, and I tried to ignore them. I think all actors are selfish, and if there's any actor who says that they are not selfish, I think they are lying, but I felt that we were real for her. Maybe I was connected to her as a brother and as someone in the industry, but she was more connected to my wife. I am not going to get into the details, but all I will say is when somebody hits rock bottom, that is when you expect someone to be there for you. When Ruby hit rock bottom, it is like the flood gates had opened, and everyone had disappeared. And only those, whom we did not have expectations from, those were the people who came forward, but those who we expected to be there, went away, and she is one of those people. 

Today, whatever I see of Mouni, that is not the person I know, I look at her as if it is just anybody else, I don't associate with that person, and she is like a stranger to me. It is coming from a place of hurt, and I know she might go around saying that 'oh, you will use my name' but I couldn't care less about her name, about her fame, all I know is call a spade a spade.

He adds...

People say that I don't care, etc, but I am genuinely hurt, and not only that, but other people have also scared our belief in friendships. But more than me, I feel for Ruby, and that was a time when I had to vent my emotions, and I wanted to show how you left her when she was nothing, but today, she is double of what she was then, only now, she is not going to be weak when people like you show up in our lives and take advantage of her. Today, whatever I see of her, that is not the person I know, I look at her as if it is just anybody else, I don't associate with that person, and she is like a stranger to me. It is coming from a place of hurt, and I know she might go around saying that 'oh, you will use my name' but I couldn't care less about her name, about her fame, all I know is call a spade a spade. 

On the work front, Amit started his career with Indian Idol and shot to fame with all the work he has done thereafter, including his role of Prithvi in Kaisa Ye Pyar Hai, Dr. Modi in Dill Mill Gaye, and more recently, his role in Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki. Though Amit has been away from the television screens for almost 2 years, he has been constantly working on his music, and now wishes to balance both acting and his passion for music, together.
