Mona Singh, who is currently basking in the success of The Ba***ds of Bollywood, recently shared that she chooses roles wisely. She also revealed that she was approached for the popular Television show, Anupamaa years back. She declined the offer as she decided not to continue working with TV. The actress also shared her happiness for the work of Rupali Ganguli (the lead actor of Anupamaa) and the producer of the show, Ranjan Shahi.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Mona Singh said, “I was approached for (TV show) Anupamaa years ago. But by then, I had decided that I didn’t want to continue doing TV. Hence, I denied the show.” The actress said that she had made a conscious decision to focus on OTT projects by choosing character-driven roles, adding that she never takes up roles “just to be seen”. She added, “For me, what matters is whether the role makes me happy and connects with me. I don’t want to regret my decisions later or carry any negative energy on set.”

Mona Singh continued, “I’m really happy for Rupali and (producer) Rajan Shahi. She is doing such a fabulous job, I think that role was meant for her, and she has owned it beautifully.” She further added, “It means waiting for the right project to come your way, but I’m okay with that. I don’t regret being selective.”
