Apurva 'Armaan' Agnihotri and Mona 'Jassi' Singh have been working
together for a while now. They've had their share of squabbles and
fun moments. Dhaval Roy gets a peek into their on-screen and off-
screen equation
MONA SINGH
Jassi has finally got married to Armaan! In hindsight, how has it
been working with Apurva?
• Yeah, I'm finally married (laughs). It was great fun working with
Apurva; we have become best of buddies over the time that we have
been costars. Initially, I used to be scared of Apurva because he was
an experienced star and I was completely new. Actually, that helped
in the beginning because Jassi is supposed to be scared of Armaan Sir
and go nervous when she faces him. It was all real for me. But later,
we broke the ice and it has been very good working with Apurva.
How is Apurva as a person and a costar?
• As a person, Apurva is very reserved initially, but when you get to
know him better, he is absolute fun to be with. After a point we
became good friends and every time I would fumble with my lines, he
used to laugh. And, as a costar, he is completely dedicated and hard
working. Most of the times you will find him rehearsing his
dialogues, mugging and repeating lines and he seems mad (laughs)!
Having known the character Armaan and also the actor Apurva for a
long time now, how similar or different do you think are the two?
• Apurva is completely different from Armaan. Armaan is very hyper,
rude and aggressive and a Casanova. Apurva is anything but that,
especially rude and a Casanova. He's very polite and friendly and of
course, he loves Shilpa immensely. Actually, that's the only
similarity he has with Armaan. Armaan is madly in love with Jassi and
Apurva in reality is madly in love with Shilpa. That's it, the
similarity ends there.
What do you like about Apurva?
• Apurva makes me feel very comfortable. If I ever get confused about
a scene, he comes around to help me out and tells me how to do it.
Unlike a lot of co-actors, he doesn't compete and want to do better
than me.
What do you dislike about Apurva?
• When it's time to leave, he starts fumbling with his lines and
scenes! Like, if we have to wind up by 9 pm, by around 8.30 pm he
fumbles so much that he jacks up the most interesting scenes
sometimes! But other than that he is just fine.
Do you guys ever fight?
• No, we don't fight fight. Of course, there is difference of opinion
and we disagree quite a lot but then we both come around soon. Now we
have been working for a long time, so we think alike and can
understand each other better.
If you were to choose between Raghav and Armaan who would it be?
• I would choose Armaan because he is not an intense guy, is chilled
out and absolute fun to be with!
APURVA AGNIHOTRI
Jassi has finally got married to Armaan! On a hindsight, how has it
been working with Mona?
• Yes, finally the knot is tied. Anyway, about Mona now I'd like to
say that I have worked with a lot of actors, but working with Mona
has been very special. I always look forward to working with her.
Even when there are no scenes between us, thankfully there have been
dream sequences to make up for the loss (laughs). I used to miss
working with her when we didn't have scenes together. And, we used to
not have much time in between shots, but whatever time we would get,
we got along very well.
How is Mona as a person and a costar?
• Mona is a very easy going and fun loving girl and also very smart
and intelligent. As an actor, she is perfect and very natural. It's
never difficult for us to can the shots because the emotions and
dialogues come very easily to her. The only problem is that she gets
tired very easily. Initially, she used to see a sheet with 15 scenes
and she would get tired just looking at it! But then, that was the
case with me as well when I started.
Having known the character Jassi and also the actor, Mona, for a long
time now, how similar or different do you think are the two?
• There is very little difference between Jassi and Mona. Like Jassi
used to be, Mona is forever colliding with objects and people on the
sets. And, Jassi is very intelligent and smart and so is Mona.
Another similarity is that in real life too Mona is very fun loving
and bubbly. So, when I visualise Jassi, I can easily relate her with
Mona because there are a lot of similarities between them both.
What do you like about Mona?
• Mona has extremely honest eyes as an actor. Sometimes she tells me
that she wants a better body like other women but I tell her that she
shouldn't be cribbing because she has something that other actresses
don't have — the honesty for work in her eyes.
What do you dislike about Mona?
• It may sound little impossible, but there is nothing that I dislike
about Mona. She is a good actor and a good person too. But, yeah, at
times she tends to overeat which I think is not such a good quality.
Do you guys ever fight?
• We've never had serious fights. But, like in any field, there are
disagreements and arguments. They are harmless squabbles and nothing
controversial or serious. Now our understanding has also improved
after working for so long.
If you were to choose between Jassi pre and post the makeover, and
which one would it be?
• Jassi's makeover wouldn't make a difference and I would choose her
regardless of one. it's the person that matters and not the looks.
So, I would still choose Jassi even if she didn't have a makeover.
