For those of you who grew up watching Hindi TV shows in the 2000s, Mona Singh might seem like a familiar name. Yes, it’s Jassi of Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin herself. Most of us could relate to the awkwardness Jassi had to deal with. It gave us that unique taste of high school angst that many of us miss dearly. With her chunky glasses, badly cut bangs, dull sense of style and metallic braces, it was no surprise that she was the target of mockery. Especially considering the fact that she worked in the fashion industry. The funny thing is that the actress who played Jassi was a far cry from her on-screen persona. Known for being bubbly, outgoing, over-enthusiastic and a general good luck charm, Mona Singh is the embodiment of the effervescent Punjabi girl. So let’s take a look at her life so far:
The Big Day Arrives
The actress has never been the kind who liked to air out her love life on cameras and has tried her best to stay tight-lipped about her marital plans and love life. When the young starlet was quizzed about her plans for marriage in an interview, she said “I always wanted to get married, but I am not dying to get married! My parents are happy to see me work and be independent. Marriage is not the only thing left to do in life. It is for those girls who are not working and are waiting to get married and whose parents think their daughter is a burden.” So when the actress’s plans to get married were announced, her fans were shocked, to say the least. Considering how hidden the actress has kept her relationship from the limelight, we don’t blame them.
Mona Singh and her fiancé Shyam are getting married on the 27th of December at a private wedding in Mumbai. If sources are to be believed, the guest list has been kept super private and only their close friends and family have been invited. Her wedding will be a tight-knit affair with a bunch of her industry companions, including her best friend Gaurav Gera, Rajesh Khera and Rakshanda Khan, to name a few. The actress recently hosted a fun bachelorette with her close gal pals in Goa. According to a friend, Mona doesn’t want to throw a massive bash or party on her big day and attract any media attention. Only those who are incredibly close to her have been welcomed to their wedding. A pre-wedding party is planned to be hosted on the 26th of December.
Once Bitten, Twice Shy
Before Mona met Shyam, she was involved with Bollywood actor Vidyut Jamwal. The couple dated on and off for a couple of years until they finally called it quits in 2014. Many fans believe it had to do with scheduling work conflicts and the fact that an allegedly doctored MMS video of Mona had been leaked to the media. According to reports, Mona herself found it suspicious that the alleged leak happened so close to the release of Vidyut’s movie. A source close to the couple, however, claimed that the split had nothing to do with the MMS scandal but that the relationship had taken a rocky turn a few months ago. According to the source, marriage was not on the cards for either of the two and the split was amicable. The pair continues to be friends.
Before Vidyut and her current fiance, the actress was involved with her Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi co-actor, Karan Oberoi. When quizzed about why the pair broke up, Karan claimed that while he wanted to tie the knot with Mona, she did not want to settle down. According to the actress herself, the pair only dated for 18 months in the six years that they knew each other. Mona and Karan are now neighbors and are on cordial terms but don’t keep in touch much. Recently, Karan was falsely accused of raping a female astrologist, and when he was asked if Mona reached out to him, he claimed he had not bothered reading any of the messages on his phone.
Duty Calls
On the work front, Mona Singh had been featured in movies like Rajkumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots alongside Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan. The Kavach actress is planning on rejoining her 3 Idiots co-stars Aamir and Kareena in Advait Chandan’s hugely anticipated film Laal Singh Chadha. The movie is scheduled to be released on Christmas one year from now.
While it feels extremely bittersweet to watch your childhood idols growing up and having children of their own, etc., it’s nice to retain some elements of the nostalgic times we shared with our favorite on-screen celebrities. Let us know your thoughts about this in the comments below. Are you excited to see Mona back on the big screen?
