"The next step is always forward, the past is gone. You can't change it, you can celebrate it because of the choices that you have made.

Mona Singh debuted on television with an iconic and superhit soap opera, Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin. She became popular by playing the role of a sincere and intelligent girl, ‘Jasmeet Walia.’ The show aired for three consecutive years and made her a household name. At the same time, she won many accolades at award functions and made a stronghold on the television medium. Recalling her experience, she said:
"It was not like she transformed into a new person overnight. It was well shot. The fringes went away, she got the lenses then the braces went away. So it was gradual. I was also very nervous about my makeover. My first show was 'Jassi...' and I got to face the camera as 'Jassi' which was in garb. So I was feeling somewhere very protected.”
Apart from her success on TV, Mona appeared in films after six years of her TV debut. Her most popular movies include 3 Idiots and Laal Singh Chaddha with Aamir Khan. Laal Singh Chaddha was an official Hindi adaptation of the 1994 Hollywood hit, Forrest Gump. She revealed that she was happy to get to work on two films with Aamir Khan because he is known to be selective about his work. As a result, she feels lucky to work with him. Moreover, Mona says that their bond only deepened while working on the film.
