I disagree with you ... It's not her fault that she was loved so much during jassi days ... And it isn't her fault that she is better known as jassi than mona ... I did never feel once that she was riding off of her jassi title .. To tell you the truth, i never really watched jassi ... I was never too fond of that show or her at that time .. But I feel she has worked hard at it and so she has won ! Yes, luck does play an important role - which is in no one's control ! 😊
Couldnt disagree more
FYI,there was a time when Mona just wanted to get RID of that jassi tag....I've been an avid viewer of JJKn,and have been in that JJKn forum for more than a year,SO I know a little better😳
here is Mona's old article,wherein she didnt want people to call her jassi
Bollywood Interview Mona Singh - 'Jassi'
17th March 2006 07:36:44
Bollywood Mumbai: Now that "Jassi... Jaisi Koi Nahin" is nearing an end, Mona Singh speaks on the trauma of being the protagonist 24x7 and rumours of a romance with co-star Karan Oberoi.
"There's nothing! I am too ambitious to get into a relationship," Mona told IANS in an interview.
After "Jassi...",
Mona wants to throw away the garb of Jassi and create a place for herself as Mona Singh in showbiz. "I have to find my own identity now. It's been three years! I was zapped mentally... Imagine telling people all the time that I wasn't Mona, that I was this make-believe character named Jassi." "But I'm not going to burst into an item number just to prove I'm not Jassi in real life. I'll only do what I'm comfortable with. I hope there are some good roles written for me."
Excerpts from the interview:
Jassi...
No, don't call me that any more. I am Mona. I have to find my own identity now. It's been three years! I was zapped mentally... Imagine telling people all the time that I wasn't Mona, that I was this make-believe character named Jassi. Initially, I sort of enjoyed the anonymity. But after a while it became a mental torture to be 'Jassi' even at awards functions. I used to plead with my channel (Sony) to let me be myself at least at the awards function. Because, it was Mona Singh and not Jassi who received the awards. But they insisted.
Yes,so it was she who said all this...Its is really disturbing to see her use the tag for votes NOW,for votes.......
