She shared\u00a0a series of\u00a0pictures from when she was 17 years old and shot her first advertisement for an automobile brand. In the\u00a0pictures, the actress looked stunning in a black dress as she posed with a yellow car. In the background, we can spot the beauty of Kerala \u2013 a water body and coconut trees. Walking down the memory lane, Munmun wrote, \u201cOne from the archives. 17-year-old me shooting for my first advertisement for\u00a0Skoda\u00a0car in Kerala backwaters. Oh, how excited I was to be able to get this opportunity as an absolute newcomer in the industry and in Mumbai city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--MIDTABOOLA--><\/p>\n<p>Munmun Dutta recalled how she travelled by plane for the ad shoot, which back then was a \u201chuge luxury\u201d for her. She said, \u201cAn additional perk was to get to travel to another beautiful location in a flight because this was\u00a0my second\u00a0time I got the opportunity to be on a flight, and I was excited because this was the only way I could get on an aeroplane as I didn&#8217;t have the money to afford a ticket for myself. And at that point\u00a0of time\u00a0in my life where I could barely make ends meet, travelling in an aeroplane was\u00a0definitely\u00a0a huge luxury.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the note, Munmun Dutta expressed her gratitude by writing, \u201cEverything took time in my life.\u00a0Struggles\u00a0were endless, and I am grateful for everything that has shaped me today.
