In seven days time, Mona Singh (Jassi of Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin) will pick up a new, white Honda City.

"I love that car; it's automatic, and therefore easy to manoeuvre for people like me, who are paranoid about driving in Mumbai's bumper-to-bumper traffic," says the actress.
Mona plans to take a refresher course before she gets behind the steering wheel. "I did not use my driver a couple of times, and once, banged into a street vendor. He was screaming, and I screamed back," she concludes with a laugh.
Constructive comercial
On Monday, Singh shot a commercial for a construction company, at Jaipan Studios, Goregaon (East).
Dressed in a green sari for the ad, she told hitList, "Chocolate Films knew my bank manager, who in turn asked me if I was interested in endorsing this project.

The builders I am endorsing are coming up with many buildings and shopping malls, which will cater to mainly NRIs. I liked the concept, and had time at my disposal, so I thought, why not do it?"
The concept of the commercial is that two of Mona's friends, who have come from abroad, visit her at home; they want to make a sound property investment. "I advise and convince them to put their money in Nitishree Builders," says Mona.
Main Azad Hoon
Mona's contract with Sony Entertainment Television will end in April; Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin will most likely be pulled off air before April. "I have no information on that," says the actress, adding, "Stories are floating around that I'm no longer interested in TV serials. That's rubbish. I definitely want to do more serials."
