Mona Singh says she has bid farewell to TV, and has no plans to return to the medium that gave her her first break. <\/p>\n

It was television that gave Mona Singh<\/a> her big break over two decades ago, but the actor says she is done with the medium. In a new interview, the actor said that she had no desire to return to TV, as she had done it all on the medium.<\/p>\n

Mona spoke about her career trajectory and switch to OTT shows in a new interview with Bombay Times<\/a>. Talking about the difference between the two mediums, the actor said, \u201cWorking three months on one web show is perfect. You get your break, you come back fresh and ready to step into a new character. OTT works best for me. Otherwise, TV has crazy timelines, especially when you are playing the protagonist. When I did TV, the shows would air from Monday to Thursday, but now, they air throughout the week. Oh my God! I wonder if these people even have a personal life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mona shot to fame in 2003 with the superhit show Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin, before working in a host of other shows, including hosting talent shows as well. But, she has not been seen on TV in almost a decade now. \u201cI\u2019ve bid farewell to TV, with all due respect. There isn\u2019t much left for me to do anything there,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cI think I\u2019ve done everything \u2014 daily soaps, reality shows and hosting. This was a conscious step to move ahead. The switch wasn\u2019t easy; I waited patiently for the kind of roles I wanted. It took time, but it was worth it. I\u2019m doing films too \u2014 I have three coming up next year \u2014 and I\u2019m happy to be balancing movies and OTT.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mona Singh’s upcoming film<\/p>\n

Mona made her film debut in 2009 with a supporting role in 3 Idiots, and went on to appear in films like Amavas, Laal Singh Chaddha, and Munjya. She will be next seen in Border 2, which also stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. The film is slated to release in theatres on 25 January for the Republic Day weekend.<\/p>\n
