Monday Motivation: There has never been a dearth of good actors in the Bollywood industry. Be it the 50s or the 90s, the industry has had a long list of great actors. Bollywood has always been considered male-dominated, so there has never been a dearth of male actors.
But amidst all this, there were some female actors who managed to establish themselves and left a memory behind in every film they appeared in. These female actors include names like Shabana Azmi, Smita Patil and Tabu, who left their mark everywhere from mass masala to art cinema.
Even in recent times, there are many actresses who are known for their acting skills. Be it Deepika Padukone or Alia Bhatt. From Kareena to Priyanka, everyone has proved themselves by doing many difficult roles.
However, there are some actresses who may not be able to reach the level of these actresses in terms of stardom. Still, they have been successful in proving themselves among directors, producers and audiences. This is the reason why neither do they have a dearth of projects nor do they need any recognition among the audience.
One such actress is Mona Singh, there is no one like her
After the recent horror comedy ‘Munjya’ became a superhit, once again everyone’s eyes are on Mona Singh. In this film, she has been seen doing comedy for the first time. Mona Singh started her career in the year 2003 with the TV show ‘Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin’.
He received both awards and love for this show. After this, he made his Bollywood debut with ‘3 Idiots’ 6 years after his TV debut. His screen time was less, but he was remembered for whatever he had.
A career of 21 years proves that it is better late than never
The year 2024 is the 21st year of Mona Singh’s career. It definitely took some time for her to get recognition. But she neither slacked in hard work nor in proving herself. During this time, she kept trying to prove herself with the help of TV shows and OTT.
Why was Mona Singh able to travel long distances
by Mona Singh ABP News Entertainment Desk In a recent interview, she explained why she has been in the industry for 21 years. She said, “Good things take time to happen. That’s why it is important that you keep patience, otherwise you will be out very soon. I am getting so much love only because I maintained exclusivity.”
‘Living in the comfort zone is harmful’
Mona Singh says, “One of the reasons for covering such a long distance is that I did not keep myself in the comfort zone. I never repeated myself. Because it is boring.”
Mona Singh has as many colors as her characters
From the scene where she slapped Aamir Khan during labor pain in ‘3 Idiots’ to the role of the arrogant Dr. Saudamini Singh in ‘Kaala Paani’, Mona Singh has proved herself every time as if that role was written only for her.
In an exclusive interview with ABP News, when we asked her about her different roles and how she is able to play each role differently, Mona Singh said, “Her role of Saudamini Singh was no less than a hero’s role for her. There was so much to do in it. It was a hero’s role for me.”
Many big actors have already been seen playing various characters in ‘Made in Heaven’. When its second season came, a character named Bulbul Johri was also introduced in it. Mona Singh played this character in such a way that once again there was a discussion about her in the corridors of media.
Mona Singh did what was necessary
The thing is that Mona Singh did whatever was necessary to fit herself in every character. She even lost 16 kg of weight. Because she believes that health is important. In a conversation with us, she said, “Health is the most important thing. Otherwise what is the use of spending whatever you are earning to cure your illness after a certain age. That is why I also take care of my health.
It is not without reason that she is compared to Tabu
Tabu is called the Meryl Streep of Bollywood. Her characters and acting have been discussed many times by the foreign media. She is also compared to Hollywood’s legendary actress Meryl Streep. Her characters in films like Maqbool and Haider are a testament to this.
Just like Tabu is the heroine of mass masala as well as offbeat films, Mona Singh is also seen walking on the same path. She has proved that she is the only one like her by playing different characters from Jassi to Saudamini Singh and Bulbul Johri. This is the reason why she is being compared to Tabu.
Mona Singh is becoming the queen of content
After the advent of OTT, more doors have opened up for actresses like her. So we are just waiting to see more of her different characters. She could not do all this just like that. She dedicated herself. By doing everything from health to how to approach work with calculation, she has made herself the queen of offbeat content.
It is not that she did not face any problems. She has spoken openly about the casting couch incident many times. But the problems kept coming and they kept increasing. Of course, it took two decades to do this, but she succeeded in presenting herself as such an actress that the audience’s eyes light up as soon as she appears on screen.
