For the love of films...Mona

Actress Mona Singh has taken over from Mandira Bedi and will now host Extraa Shots on Set Max. Mona is also the brand ambassador for Sony and hence the show fell in her lap.

An excited Mona says, "I am playing an anchor for the first time. I have always been fascinated by it. Once I started shooting for it, I realised it's quite a tough job. I have to speak and speak, and at the same time be camera-friendly."

Mandira Bedi was hosting the show earlier but she has been busy with her cricket assignments.

"The show was off for more than a year. It has been revamped completely, from the package to the look. It's a completely new show and that is the reason I took it. I don't think I have replaced someone," says Mona about taking over from Mandira.

Mona's job on the show is to talk about films. "Although I am trying to make the show more interactive, it basically needs me to talk about films of all types, genres and eras," she adds.

How different is it from her experiences of shooting for Jassi.. and Extreme Makeover? "When I was doing Jassi, it was just acting. But, in Extreme Makeover, I get to deal with sensitive cases. I am more of myself in Extraa Shots. I love movies and for the first time, I will get to chat with celebrities about movies. It is a different experience altogether," Mona says.
