This bespectacled, gawky and geeky maiden of television made a virtue out of being an ugly duckling. The actress' real name (Mona Singh) has long been obscured by her stupendously popular small screen persona, and so she is obliged to be seen and addressed only as "Jassi" everywhere she goes. Her long awaited transformation into the swoon-inducing swan is finally happening in the New Year, fans are told, but opinion is divided on whether aesthetically challenged Jassi should turn good looking just to conform to male-imposed stereotypes.
