She was born in Iasi, Romania, in the south-east of Europe. She went to a local high school to prepare for a future kindergarten teacher career. She changed her mind (and her life!) one year before graduation and got transferred to a different high school, to learn intensively for joining the university to study law. The Iasi University is known as very competitive; Monica took challenging tests and successfully enrolled in the law college. Though, right before the admission exams she had to face her father's death. She began studying law but she had to work her way out through college. She took part time jobs as a waitress or as a promoter for various companies. An offer came to pose for a lingerie catalogue and she accepted. This brought her a bit into the spotlight at a local level. During her first university year she represented her college at a beauty pageant, "Miss Transylvania" and she was offered a contract with the best model agency in Bucharest, "M.R.A". For a couple of years she could be seen in TV commercials, but she carried on with her student work. On her 3rd year of college she was called for an audition at a new TV channel that was about to be launched, B1tv. She began her television career with a daily TV show called "La Strada", as a co-host. It was a show for teenagers and it brought her into the spotlight again, this time at a national level. Soon after that more and more requests came for her to do covers for magazines, interviews; she became increasingly successful. In a few months, she got her own daily half-hour TV show. In November 2002, she was designated the most beautiful Romanian celebrity by the "Beau Monde" magazine and in December she was chosen "The sexiest TV star" by the most influential Romanian TV guide, "TV Mania". Her show went on, and so did the series of awards she got. In February 2003, the VIVA magazine designated her "The most beautiful Romanian woman" and in July the FHM magazine "crowned" her as "Sexiest Woman". In December, she was, once more, awarded by "TV Mania" as "the sexiest TV celebrity". In the meantime, she hosted the "Extravaganza" show series. 2004 began with a new challenge: "Viata in Direct" (Life Live) show. In February 2004, "Viva" magazine designated her again as the "sexiest celebrity" and in December 2004 she was, once more "TV Mania's" choice as the "sexiest TV star". In 2004, she went to Los Angeles to take acting classes and improve her TV host skills. Her career took a new turn: she started doing movies. In 2004, she got a part in a teenager comedy, "Buds for Life", and by year end she received a role in her first Romanian movie, Moartea domnului Lãzãrescu (2005). The film has so far obtained more than 30 awards, including the "Un certain regard" award at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, Silver Hugo in Chicago and was nominated for The Best Foreign Film at the Independent Spirit Awards. In 2005, she got small parts in Incubus (2006) as Karen, in "Second in Command" as Dr. Johnson and in "Living&Dying" as Det Lascar. In November 2005, she got a recurring part in Lost (2004), the no.1 TV show in the United States, as Gabriella Busoni, a wealthy Italian woman.

Monica is a Capricornian, born on January 18th 1975 in the Village of Chabbewal in the district of Hoshiarpur, Punjab, India. Her dad's name is Prem Kumar Bedi, her mom's name is Shakuntala (nee Chawla), she has a brother, Bobby, who was married in 1998 to a girl from Tanda near Hoshiarpur. Her dad was a registered medical practitioner. In 1976 the Bedi family immigrated to Norway to start their own garment business. At that time Monica was 10 months old. In 1992 Monica traveled to study English Literature in England's Oxford University. It is here that she met with Bollywood film actor-producer, Manoj Kumar. Shortly thereafter she traveled to Bombay and met with another film producer, Mukesh Duggal, and was reported to have suffered considerable abuse at his hands. Mukesh Duggal was subsequently killed. It was through Abu Salem's contacts that Monica was able to get some acting roles, beginning with a movie in Telugu. She did return to her hometown in 1995 and it was during this time that bandits attacked and killed her grandparents, severely injuring her mom. Shakuntala decided to live with her brother, Krishan Chawla in Delhi, and refused to re-locate to Norway. Her husband, her son and his family, as well as nephews, nieces, and sister-in-law, Kanta, re-located to Norway, leaving Kanta's husband, Purshotam, behind to take care of the property in Chabbewal. Monica married Abu, changed her religion to Islam, her name to Fauzia, acquired two sets of passports from Bhopal and Hyderbad, and both re-located to Lisbon, Portugal in 2001 from their present location in Dubai, UAE. Monica challenges had only begun for a year later both were arrested by the Portuguese Police, and in November, 2003, she was sentenced to 2 years in prison for possessing forged travel documents. After her sentence was over, she and Abu were extradited to India to face more criminal charges. In desperation Monica wrote letters to the Indian President and Prime Minister - in vain. In September 2006 Monica was found guilty by the Special Court of CBI which convicted her and awarded 5-years rigorous imprisonment on the charges of cheating, criminal planning and for using fake passport. Monica is currently facing charges of Forgery in the fake passport case from Bhopal. Ironically none of her family in India were aware of her plight until she was arrested in Lisbon. Although no longer a star, Monica Bedi continues to attract media attention all over India. A lot her fans and well-wishers hope that this young and attractive young woman will overcome her challenges and return to the silver screen.
