Personal life

Mona Ghosh Shetty is the daughter of former dubbing artiste Leela Roy Ghosh. While she dubs for foreign roles into Hindi most of the time, she also performs her dubbing roles into 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.

Dubbing career

Shetty started as a voice artist at the age of five. 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, "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 into Hindi for many leading female actors 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 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.

In Nirnayak (1997), she dubbed for Indrani Banerjee. It was her first dubbing for a Hindi film.

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.
