Mona Singh is one of the most talented actresses in the industry. She became a household name after the success of her popular television show, Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahi. She also made a mark for herself in Bollywood with films like 3 Idiots and Laal Singh Chaddha, both of which were headlined by Aamir Khan. Recently, Mona revealed that it was Aamir who convinced her that it was alright for actors to audition for roles.
Speaking to Entertainment Live, Mona said, “We were talking during the shoot of Laal Singh Chaddha. I haven’t given many auditions after Jassi. I used to get shows without auditions. So, I used to feel why is someone calling me for an audition. I used to take it personally ki inko bharosa nahin hai ki audition ke liye bula rahe hain. So, I told Aamir sir that they called me for Laal Singh’s audition but I don’t feel comfortable with auditions.”
She said that Aamir told her, “You should think about the makers as well. They need to see whether you look like the character or not. What is your accent? If you match it a little bit also, makers become sure that you can pull off the character. But if it doesn’t match a bit, they get to know in the audition itself. That does not mean you are good or bad. Nobody is judging you. They are only seeing whether they will get their character in the actor or not.”
She added, “This is a very nice thing. I needlessly take auditions personally. Aamir sir opened my mind for auditions.” Aamir also told her that he auditioned for Advait Chandan’s directorial film Secret Superstar. “I asked Advait ki jhooth toh nahi bola. Advait said, ‘No, I can show you the tape also. We have his audition tapes,’” Mona said.
Mona was recently seen in Made in Heaven 2, where she impressed the audience yet again. Her performance was one of the breakthrough performances of the season.
