Mona
Singh
who
became
a
household
name
with
her
debut
TV
show
Jassi
Jaissi
Koi
Nahin,
eventually
went
on
to
debut
on
the
big
screen
in
Aamir
Khan-starrer
3
Idiots
(2009).
The
38-year-old
recently
spoke
about
TV
actors
facing
difficulties
whilst
forayed
into
films.
In
an
interview
with
HT,
Mona
said,
“I
don’t
know
why
people
still
look
down
upon
TV
actors.
Maybe
because
of
the
regressive
content
of
some
TV
shows
in
present
times.
Back
in
the
90s
and
early
2000,
it
was
brilliant.
Every
show
was
talked
about.”
“In
fact,
every
movie
star
now
goes
to
TV
to
promote
their
films
because
they’re
well
aware
about
its
reach.
I
think
whether
you’re
on
stage
or
TV
or
films
or
web,
you’re
still
acting,
right?
Good
work
is
always
recognised,”
she
added.
On
being
quizzed
about
her
TV
journey,
Singh
stated
that
she
has
never
taken
up
shows
that
she
can’t
relate
to
and
has
always
chosen
quality
over
quantity.
She
shared,
“Jassi
Jaissi
Koi
Nahin
changed
my
whole
perspective.
I
may
not
know
what
I
want,
but
I
definitely
know
what
I
don’t
want
to
do.
In
between,
I
did
get
a
few
good
TV
offers
but
couldn’t
take
them
up
given
my
web
and
film
commitments.
So,
I’m
not
saying
no
to
TV.”
Mona
concluded
by
adding
in
that
she
has
no
qualms
whatsoever
in
doing
smaller
roles
in
films.
“I
only
think
about
the
character
I’m
playing,
and
how
good
the
character
has
been
written.
TV
has
a
mass
viewership
and
have
mostly
female-fronted
narratives,
but
when
it
comes
to
films
it’s
all
about
creating
a
story
within
one
to
one-and-a-half
hours,
so
whether
it’s
a
lead
role
or
not
doesn’t
matter,”
she
said.
