Namita Nayyar:
In 2007, you released your first album New Day: The Love Album, followed by Light Tribe in 2008 and Mantis in 2010. Looking back share fond memories you hold close to your heart. First compliment you received as a singer
Monica Dogra:
Shaa’ir and func was a blast…we were the first of our kind, and we took that role very seriously. I crowd surfed with that band…I toured the world….we fought like a dysfunctional family, and we loved like we were blood. I was once proposed to on stage with Shaa’ir and func. We also released Align in 2013, I released SPIT in 2016 my first solo album, which brought adventure after adventure for phase 2 in my life – which was touring solo.
I released an EP after that in 2018, and singles every six months since. I conceptualize my music videos and often ghost direct them…something I’ve never said out loud before! Each thing I do is a mountain I traverse that leads to me a new landscape.

You have a fit and toned body in the industry, share with us your fitness regime. 5 Favourite indoor exercises you love doing.
Monica Dogra:
I’m fortunate to have very fit friends who inspire me a lot to train with them. I also don’t socialize very much – so my workout time is my hang out time. I’ve trained with the likes of Cindy Jourdain, done cross fit, and also trained with celeb trainers Drew and Samir Jaura. They’ve all taught me so much about nutrition and fitness.
Namita Nayyar:
Do you follow any particular diets? Share your favorite meal of the day.
Monica Dogra:
I’m vegan. I try to reduce carbs when I really need to get fit before a project….also, cutting out sugar is an amazing way to tone up. but, I’m a cookie monster. I really love chocolate chip cookies.
