Jassi's new nightmare

What is that difference in your life now? 
Everyone wants to photograph me! Anywhere I go there are people fishing out their mobiles and thrusting it in my face. No one bothers to even ask if they can take my picture.

The other day, I was crossing the road just outside my house, and there were people stopping their cars and clicking me. Even in the building where I live, even in the lift!

You must be savouring the fact that people are finally recognising you as Mona Singh.
It does feel great and am enjoying every bit of it, but it is restricting my movements.  I actually want to cover up now!

Of late, you have been anchoring shows. Does this excite you?
I'd rather stick to acting. Anchoring is a scary process. You can't make mistakes and there are no retakes. One slip-up and you are gone. I'd rather stick to acting. I don't enjoy anchoring, though I know there are many actresses who are extremely comfortable doing both.

Now that you have shed the Jassi garb, you can reveal a bit about the real Mona Singh.
Not exactly. The channel still wants me to be Jassi. All that I can say is that I'm from Pune; my family lives there. I modelled for Asian Paints and did a B4U show.

Is there any man in your life?
Where is the time for it?

There is this buzz that you are close to a co-star?
Eh??
