Bollywood and television actress Mona Singh has drawn a direct parallel between the unconventional movie Delhi Belly and her upcoming film Happy Patel. Mona Singh, experienced in both mainstream and experimental storytelling, pointed out that the essence that made Delhi Belly iconic is deeply embedded in Happy Patel as well. She mentioned how reactions to Delhi Belly perfectly describe Happy Patel, emphasizing its dark, quirky, and offbeat nature. The film, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, produced under Aamir Khan Productions and directed by Vir Das, is set to hit theaters on January 16, 2026.
Talking about Mona Singh, who has been in the entertainment industry for nearly 25 years, she gained fame through the TV show “Jassi Jassi Koi Nahin.” The show, which aired from 2003 to 2006, propelled her to stardom with her portrayal of Jassi. Singh’s unique appearance in the show, with geeky glasses and braces, made her a symbol of intelligence and resilience. She also shared that the show’s makers were very protective of her on-screen look, even restricting media access to maintain her character’s originality.
Mona Singh, known for her recent role in “The Ba***ds of Bollywood,” directed by Aryan Khan, received praise for her performance as the lead actor’s mother. At the trailer launch of the film, Shah Rukh Khan, a long-time admirer of “Jassi Jassi Koi Nahin,” warmly welcomed Singh on stage, showcasing his appreciation for her work. Besides Happy Patel, Mona Singh will also star in Border 2 alongside Sunny Deol.
