Basking in the success of Made In Heaven 2, Mona Singh looks back at her 20-year-old journey right from Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin.
“This industry has taught me a lot of patience,”
“I have said no to roles I did not want to do, to shows I did not want to be a part of. I’m glad I’ve been choosy because here I am, celebrating my success in Made In Heaven.”
Talking about her time in the Bigg Boss OTT house, “I didn’t got a chance to prove myself because some people had preconceived notions about me. So I am not happy with my journey at all.”
What a journey it has been for you! How do you look back on your career so far?
My God, what can I say?
It has been a spectacular journey.
I have completed 20 years in the industry, and I’ve had the smoothest transition from TV to OTT and films.
So yes, here I am, and I plan to keep surprising myself and my loved ones with the work that I do.
I plan to keep entertaining viewers and fans who have watched me since 2002, and supported and loved me.
Was it difficult for you to break out of Jassi and to find challenging opportunities?
I was very sure that I would not be taking up another daily soap right after Jassi because people will always have comparisons.
I also knew that there could not be anything bigger than Jassi on TV for me.
So I started hosting and participating in shows.
I did a lot of theatre and then the smooth transition to films and OTT.
Of course, I did a few more serials, but it was after a long gap.
