Actress Mona Singh said she broke her long‑standing Jassi persona by refusing 90% of offers, choosing roles that challenged her typecast.
Mona Singh, known worldwide for her iconic role as Jassi in the hit TV serial "Mere Aashiqui Tum Se Hi", recently opened up about the steps she took to escape the typecasting that followed her breakthrough.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actress revealed that she began rejecting about 90% of the projects that came her way. "I started saying no to almost all the offers that were similar to Jassi," she said, emphasizing the importance of selective choices.
By turning down repetitive roles, Singh aimed to diversify her portfolio and showcase her versatility. She highlighted that this strategy allowed her to take on characters that were vastly different from the bubbly, carefree Jassi, thereby redefining her image in the industry.
The actress also hinted at upcoming projects that would further distance her from the Jassi persona, expressing confidence that her career would continue to evolve beyond the iconic character that once defined her.
