Special on small screen
The last we saw her on the small screen, Mona Singh would flaunt her braces and her ill-fitted suits in Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi (JJKN) before she transformed into a damsel. Years later, she transforms herself from ‘I-will-adjust-to-everything’ homemaker to a strong-willed independent woman. Mona takes on the television screen with Sony TV’s Kya Hua Tera Wada and you bet she has much to talk about the role.
“There was a long time between JJKN and Kya Hua Tera Wada, so thankfully I didn’t have to do similar kind of roles,” says Mona, who said yes to Kya Hua Tera Wada after listening to the narrative.

Pooja Bhatt blasts Censor Board
Pooja Bhatt is upset with the Censor Board for giving an ‘A’ certificate to her much awaited film Jism 2, starring Sunny Leone.
“First music promo for Jism 2 has been given an 'A' certificate. And this was what one could call a truly watered down version. So the deal is this — You can't buy spots on TV for a promo with an 'A' certificate, which basically means you can't publicise your music!” the actor-director said.
