Mona Singh: Post 3 Idiots I was only getting offers to play a pregnant women

The Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi actor talks about life after 3 Idiots

She had a sizeable role in Rajkumar Hirani’s 2009 box office biggie 3 Idiots starring Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi and R Madhavan, but after that Mona Singh wasn’t too active on the big screen and the small screen star blames it on stereotype offers.Mona, who was seen as Kareena Kapoor’s character’s pregnant elder sister in 3 Idiots, talked about her absence from the big screen and said: “Post 3 Idiots I was only getting offers of pregnant women, which really surprised me and I said no to all of them.”

The actor made it big on television as geeky Jassi in her 2003 debut show Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin and after many years she returned to play a housewife who has to deal with her cheating husband in Kya Huaa Tera Vaada.

“I don’t want to repeat myself as an actor and I want to explore different things. It’s very sad that one tends to get typecast very easily here. I don’t understand why do people do that? Haven’t they seen me playing Jassi or a housewife in Kya Huaa Tera Vaada? We are actors. We are here to play different roles. I was very clear I am not going to do something similar again,” she added.

In between her acting assignments, the vibrant and chirpy actor not only participated in and won dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, but also hosted shows like Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 4 and Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega.

Mona will be seen again as the co-host of the new season of Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, and she is certainly enjoying it.

“I was like it cannot get better than this. I am having a blast hosting the show with Krushna Abhishek. Everybody should keep reinventing themselves and my journey so far has been great. Hosting the show is a unique experience all together. People take the title Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega so seriously that they tend to do some crazy stuff,” she said.

Ranveer, Priyanka’s ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ to start shooting in May by Aparna Mudi

The sizzling Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra are all set to play siblings for Zoya Akhtar’s newest venture ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’. But it seems that even before the shooting started, trouble arose for the cast.
A leading daily reported that the movie has had to be brought forward by a full month because the cruise on which it was supposed to be shot can only be used in May. The earlier shooting schedule was supposedly to begin only in June and was to be continued for about 3 months in various parts of Europe.

The change in schedule has thrown a wrench in other productions like Anil Kapoor’s ‘Welcome Back’. Reportedly, Anil had to change the dates for the slapstick comedy on the behest of Javed Akhtar. The multi starrer brings together Farhan Akhtar, PeeCee, Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, Anil Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah and Shefali Shah.

The movie is scheduled to release in June 2015, and is going to be shot in Turkey, Spain, Italy, France and Tunisia. The ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ director had earlier told reporters that the movie was about a dysfunctional Punjabi family on a cruise.

We hope that Zoya is able to repeat the success of ‘ZNMD’ and the change in so many schedules is worth it for the cast and the crew.
