Mona Singh expressed pride over her Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin co-star Gaurav Gera receiving widespread praise for his role as Aalam Bhai in Dhurandhar.
Actor Mona Singh said she is feeling immensely proud of her Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin co-star Gaurav Gera, who has been receiving widespread praise for his role in Dhurandhar, headlined by Ranveer Singh. The actor recently watched the film in theatres and expressed happiness that her longtime friend is finally being recognised for his performance.
Speaking to NDTV, Mona shared her excitement about the recognition her friend is receiving.
“I am such a proud friend. He finally is getting his due. He was out and away for a while and not seen on any platform, movies or TV. The world is celebrating the movie. The world is celebrating Gaurav. I feel very proud. I have seen the movie, and I loved it,” Mona Singh said.
The actor, who famously played the titular character in the television show Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin, where Gaurav portrayed Nandu, added that she is also looking forward to watching the sequel in theatres.
“The fact that it's still being celebrated now on OTT as well, in spite of earning more than Rs 1,000 crore just speaks volumes,” she added.
In the Aditya Dhar directorial, Gaurav Gera plays Aalam Bhai, a Lyari-based handler of Indian intelligence agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi, also known as Hamza Ali Mazari, who goes deep undercover to dismantle a terrorist network in Karachi, Pakistan. Operating out of a popular juice shop in the gang-infested locality of Lyari, Aalam Bhai is also known for selling Doodh Soda for Rs 20 in his own musical style.
