Yes, you read that right!

Reportedly, Mohena will shift her base to Dehradun after tying the knot.

Confirming the same, Mohena told a leading daily that, "Post marriage, I will say goodbye to acting and Mumbai. My life is all set to take a 180 degree turn. I am excited and nervous at the same time. Even my industry friends were taken aback with my decision, but that’s the kind of person I am. I follow my heart. I have taken several leaps of faith in my life and this is the biggest so far."

On being asked if she has taken this decision as she doesn't want to play a mother onscreen, she further said, "As an actor, I don’t worry about the age of my character. Keerti (her character) is an integral part of 'YRKKH' and she is already a mother. Though the show is set to go in for a leap and my child will grow up, there is scope for me to perform. I am hungry to act and as long as the graph of my character is good, I wouldn’t mind working. However, I had to take this decision because I am getting married. I have to start shopping for my wedding and will be travelling to various countries for it."

Mohena reveals that she has ticked all the boxes on her wish-list and now she wants to live on a mountain. Speaking about the same, she further told TOI that, "Since childhood, I have wanted to live on a mountain. I didn’t come to Mumbai to become a superstar; I wanted to dance, choreograph and act. I have fulfilled those dreams, and I am leaving the city fully satisfied. Having said that, I won’t stop working after marriage and will keep my hustle on."
