Mona Singh On Having "Horrible Experiences" Early In Her Career: "I Learnt To Back Off"

"I learnt to back off and get out of those situations," said Mona Singh

Laal Singh Chaddha actor Mona Singh needs no introduction. The actress, who started her career in 2003 with the iconic show Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin, has time and again showcased her acting prowess across all mediums, be it films or OTT. However, things were always a bed of roses for the actress. In an extensive chat with News18, Mona Singh revealed that she was put in multiple uncomfortable situations in the early days of her career. Talking about her experience in her days of struggling, Mona told News18, "I felt uncomfortable during the initial stage when I used to come to Bombay from Pune to audition. I met a lot of different kinds of people and some were very weird. That was the time when you start backing off and understand that you aren't in the right space or the company of the right people."

Talking about how women are instinctive and can tell right from wrong, Mona Singh continued "I was so young when I started. I was just 20-21, coming out of college and trying to do something in life. I was so new in the city. I was so naïve and vulnerable. But as women, our instincts are so sharp that we get to know who's looking at us nicely and who's not. I've had some scary meetings and horrible experiences initially. But I learnt to back off and get out of those situations.”
