Mona Ghosh Shetty is an Indian voice-dubbing actor and dubbing director. She has dubbed in Hindi, Bengali, English, Marathi, and Urdu languages. [1]
Mona Ghosh Shetty is the daughter of former voice-dubbing artist Leela Roy Ghosh. While she dubs her foreign roles in Hindi most of the time, she also performs her voice-dubbing roles in English and Bengali. She runs a dubbing studio known as Sound & Vision India located in Andheri, Mumbai. She used to work with her mother who was the founder and president of the company before her death and they had set up the businesses together in the early 1990s. Her mother died on 11 May 2012. [2]
Shetty started as a voice artist at the age of five. [1] She dubs in English, Hindi, Bengali, and Oriya professionally, but if one advertisement becomes popular then she has to do it in all the 10 official regional languages: Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Marathi, Oriya and Assamese. She has stated that "I don't know all the languages. There is always a supervisor who tells you about the nuances of the language and how it should be spoken." She specialises in dubbing for teenage, young adult and middle-aged female characters. For more than 15 years, she has been dubbing in Hindi for many leading female roles such as Cameron Diaz, Angelina Jolie, Kate Beckinsale, Kirsten Dunst, Halle Berry, Zoe Saldana, Drew Barrymore, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Aruna Shields, Jacqueline Fernandez, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and other celebrities. She is still the approved Hindi dub-over voice artist for those actresses. Shetty also dubs for television commercials, like an advertisement for an Indian airline. She recently dubbed for Giselli Monteiro in the 2009 film Love Aaj Kal , Aruna Shields in the 2010 film Prince and Nargis Fakhri in the 2011 film Rockstar at Yash Raj Studios. She recently gave the voiceover for Galadriel for the American fantasy television show The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power .[ citation needed ]
In Nirnayak (1997) she dubbed for Indrani Banerjee. It was her first film dubbing for a Hindi film.[ citation needed ]

Due to the actresses' poor Hindi knowledge and voice issues, the directors for these films could not allow the actresses to use their real voices, so Mona dubbed for them to disguise their voices, despite that the movies were already shot in Hindi.

In Indian cinema, an item number or special song is a musical number inserted into a film that may or may not have any relevance to the plot. The term is commonly used within Indian films to describe a catchy, upbeat, often provocative dance sequence for a song performed in a movie. The main aim of an item number is to entertain movie-goers and to lend support to the marketability of the film by being featured in trailers. They are favoured by filmmakers as they afford the opportunity to pick potential hit songs from the stocks, since they do not add to the continuity of the plot. It is thus a vehicle for commercial success that ensures repeat viewing.
