After capturing the imagination of millions of audience with her act in the television soap 'Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin', Mona Singh aka 'Jassi' now craves for a foothold in Bollywood
but admits she would need Shahrukh Khan to make it big in films.
''I really admire SRK for making it to the top without any godfather in the film industry and hope if cast opposite him, his charm would work for me too,'' she quipped.
However, 'Jassi' was quick to add that she does not intend to say goodbye to television anytime soon.
''I am very much a part of TV and enjoy working for the small screen. Although, TV schedules are tiresome than films, but at the end of the day it is the satisfation that
counts,'' she observed.
She was in town for 'Transform with Bausch & Lomb' campaign today.
On the truth about casting couch, Mona claimed she had never come across any such thing so far.
''To succeed in any field including films, it is the talent that counts in a person,'' she added.
'Jassi' claimed aspirants from smaller towns and cities had a rather wrong perception about the glamour world and think that one could succeed by means other than
talent.
When asked if beauty was the essense of women, Mona averred it was only skin deep and what matters was the inner beauty.
''Outer beauty is temporary and fades with time. But, the real beauty is perennial,'' she added.
