New Delhi: It’s just one life, so actress Mona Singh, of “Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin” fame, wants to try everything — from producing shows on the digital platform to opening a cafe of her own.
It was back in 2003 when Mona burst onto the television scene as Jassi who sported ill-fitted clothes, black spectacles and flaunted braces while smiling. Since then she has won a dance-based reality show, hosted shows, featured in movies including Aamir Khan-starrer “3 Idiots”, played multiple “challenging” roles on stage and done web series.
When asked, what’s left?
Mona replied, “I want to start a cafe of my own. It’s just one life. I want to try out everything. Whatever works, good — and whatever doesn’t work, I will learn. Nowadays everybody is getting health conscious. I am not talking about that, but something which is organic. I enjoy creating stuff in my kitchen so, it won’t be that tough,” Mona told IANS in a telephonic interview from Mumbai. Her to-do list also includes donning the producer’s hat.
“I would definitely want to produce something on the digital platform. Maybe I will start with a short story and then get into series. I haven’t given it a solid thought. I have an idea in my head. I would love to do that,” she said. Hailing the digital space, she said: “Digital is… good for actors who are always hungry for good content. I am very happy with this new change taking place in India.” She is currently seen in the series titled “Yeh Meri Family”, which is streamed on TVF Play app and their website. “It has seven episodes and is set in 1998 in Jaipur,” she shared. Recalling her childhood days, the daughter of a retired army officer said: “They were very simple days. There were no mobile phones back then. We had tape recorders and VCR players. “We used to sit and watch movies together. We used to wait to go to our grandparents’ house during summer vacation.” The 36-year-old plays a mother to three children in the series.
