He also playfully complained about her frequently taking on mother roles at a young age, while appreciating how well she portrays them.The actress jokingly replied that since Shah Rukh plays the young hero in films like Jawan, someone has to take up the mother’s role, which leaves her with fewer younger roles. In response, SRK promised her a lead role opposite him in the future.Mona played Abhay Verma’s mother in Munjya (June 2024) and earlier appeared as Gurpreet Kaur Chaddha, Laal’s mother, in Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha (2022).See more: Shah Rukh Khan unveils FIRST poster of Aryan Khan’s ‘The Ba***ds Of Bollywood’: ‘Parda Phaad Ke…’ Meanwhile, Aryan Khan’s directorial debut The Ba**ds Of Bollywood* features Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Vijayant Kohli, and Gautami Kapoor.
