In an interview with Bombay Times, Mona elaborated on why web series work best for her. “Working 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," she said.

 

She also explained that leaving TV was a conscious choice. “I’ve bid farewell to TV, with all due respect. There isn’t much left for me to do anything there. I think I’ve done everything daily soaps, reality shows and hosting. This was a conscious step to move ahead. The switch wasn’t easy; I waited patiently for the kind of roles I wanted. It took time, but it was worth it. I’m doing films too. I have three coming up next year, and I’m happy to be balancing movies and OTT," Mona added.

 

Mona made her film debut in 2009 with Aamir Khan starrer 3 Idiots and has since appeared in Amavas, Laal Singh Chaddha, Munjya, among others. She has also starred in several acclaimed web series including Yeh Meri Family, M.O.M. – Mission Over Mars, Made In Heaven season 2, Kaala Paani, Mistry, and The Ba***ds Of Bollywood.
