The dazzling diva of the 90s who made her Bollywood debut in 1995 with Suniel Shetty and Saif Ali Khan-starrer `Surakshaa`, is celebrating her 48th birthday today. Once popular for her mesmerising beauty and on-screen charm, the actor has been keeping away from the silver screen for a long time now. Known for her stint in movies like `Jodi No.1` and `Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat`, Monica made headlines when she got into a romantic relationship with notorious underworld don, Abu Salem. More than her professional career, Monica grabbed eyeballs for having a tumultuous personal life. After being bogged down by the controversies revolving around her `illicit` love affair with Salem, Monica made a stellar comeback in showbiz with the reality show `Bigg Boss 2` in 2008. A popular face on the small screen, Monica is also an avid social butterfly who enjoys a huge fan following on Instagram. As Monica turns a year older today, let`s take a look at her journey in showbiz.
