Career
Television
Mundle's breakthrough role came with Siya Ke Ram, a mythological serial produced by Triangle Film Company, which premiered on Star Plus in November 2015. The show retold the Ramayana primarily from the perspective of Sita, the role played by Mundle. The series ran until late 2016 and was widely noted for its production values and a narrative emphasis on female characters from the epic. The role brought her national visibility and remains the work most associated with her.
Following Siya Ke Ram, she continued to appear in television projects and made guest or featured appearances on various Indian channels. She has also been associated with regional cinema and television in Kannada and Marathi.
Modelling and pageants
Before her acting career, Mundle participated in modelling assignments and pageants, which served as her entry point into the entertainment industry.
Significance
Mundle's portrayal of Sita is considered one of the more prominent contemporary televisual interpretations of the character, particularly because Siya Ke Ram structured its retelling around Sita's viewpoint rather than the conventional Rama-centric framing. The performance contributed to a renewed interest in mythological serials on Indian prime-time television during the mid-2010s.
