When asked about what Maharashtrian dishes has she tried, Munmun says, "I really love Ukdicha Modak and misal pav. Apart from that vada pav is everyone's favourite. My co-star Sonalika often keeps teaching me about Marathi cuisine. And then another co-star of mine is Konkani so we have an amalgamation of delicious dishes on the sets."

When the interviewer mentioned that he wasn't a fan of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, Munmun took it extremely positively. She said, "That is completely fine, every viewer has his own taste in comedy.

Munmun Though Bengalis are known for their love for fish and meat. They are majorly carnivores but I am the rare Bengali who doesn't eat meat. But if I had to suggest, 'prawns malai curry' is something really delicious when it comes to Bengali cuisine."

Munmun opened up on what made her parents keep her name, she said, "Munmun is a typical Bengali household name. There is even an eminent actress with the same name. However, my overseas friends often mispronounce it due to the spelling. But those who know me often call me 'Moon'."

Munmun shared, "I remember watching Tom and Jerry in childhood and not Bob The Builder or Oswald. We had the channels but in my house in Kolkata, cable came in much later. Papa wasn't keen on getting the cable channels, middle-class family and its mentality. Actually, I feel it was good that we were away from it.

Munmun shares how she is often confused between being a Milennial and 80's kid as she was born in late 80s and grew up in 90s.
