Shah Rukh Khan asked Mona Singh why she takes on mother roles despite being so young
Shah Rukh Khan has arrived for the grand preview launch of his son Aryan Khan’s directorial debut series ‘The Ba***ds Of Bollywood’. He was seen interacting with the cast members of the series during the event. In an interaction with Mona Singh, SRK said that Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi was his favourite show, and that he loved Mona’s performance in it. However, he said that he has one complaint- that Mona often portrays mother roles on-screen despite being only 43! She playfully replied that since Shah Rukh plays the young hero in Jawan, someone has to play the mother. Reacting to this, King Khan promised her a lead role opposite him the next time!
Shah Rukh Khan And Mona Singh’s Interaction
At the preview launch of ‘The Ba***ds Of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan told Mona Singh, “Bohot saalon se kehta aa raha hu, ki mera favourite show tha Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi. Usmein meri ek favourite cheez thi Mona. Aur aaj bhi mujhe aisa lagta hai ki Mona Jaisi koi nahi. But ek complain hai yaar. Chhoti si umar mein bhi ye mummy ka role kyu karti ho yaar tum? Bohot achha karti ho. (I’ve been saying for years that my favourite show was Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin. And there was one thing I especially loved in it — Mona. Even today, I feel like there’s no one like Mona. But I do have one complaint. Why are you playing a mom even at such a young age? You do it so well though).”
Replying to this, Mona Singh said, “Shah Rukh ab main kya bolu yaar? Aap hero Jawan banke baithe huye ho. Toh kisi na kisiko toh mummy ka role karna padega na? How will I get younger roles? (Shah Rukh, what can I even say, yaar? You’re playing the hero in Jawan. So someone or the other had to play the mom, right? How will I ever get younger roles?).” Responding to this, Shah Rukh Khan promised her a lead role opposite him! “Agli baar hum dono karenge saath mein. Pakka. 100 percent! (Next time, we’ll do something together. Promise. 100 percent!).”
Mona Singh’s Mother Roles
For the unversed, Mona Singh played the role of Abhay Verma’s mother in the film ‘Munjya‘, which released in June last year. She was also seen as Gurpreet Kaur Chaddha, Laal’s mother, in Aamir Khan’s 2022 film Laal Singh Chaddha.
