During the interview, Mona opened up about her on-screen bond with her co-star Kunaal Roy Kapur and how naturally their chemistry developed on set. She said, “Kunaal is effortless. We connected instantly, which made our husband-wife dynamic feel natural. He brings humour, warmth, and sincerity to every scene. Our relationship in the show is built on small, everyday moments - glances, pauses, unspoken understanding and he makes those come alive just by being so present and attentive.”Mona also shared why her character Simran stands apart from the many roles she has portrayed since her iconic breakthrough in
Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin. She explained, “Simran isn’t idealised. She’s strong, yes, but she also doubts, stretches, and learns. She represents so many women today who are doing their best in every direction. There’s truth in her struggle, and that honesty is what drew me to her.”
With the show diving into themes of digital overload, emotional burnout, and the need to pause, Mona also addressed whether a woman like Simran, constantly juggling responsibilities, can realistically find peace away from screens and technology. She shared, “Definitely, but not by cutting everything out. Peace comes from deciding when to be available and when not to be. Even small boundaries make a big difference. It’s less about switching off completely and more about reconnecting with yourself and the people around you.”Did you like our brief chat with Mona? Let us know by tweeting at @TimesNow!
