Mumbai, Nov 10 (NationPress) Actress Mona Singh, known for her role in the series “Thode Door Thode Paas,” acknowledges that while a six-month break from technology would be tough, it would also offer a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with life's simpler pleasures and significant moments.

The show depicts a family as they abandon technology, embracing a lifestyle reminiscent of the 1970s and 1980s. When questioned about what aspects of life she would miss and what she would enjoy rediscovering without gadgets for six months, Mona shared:

“I would certainly miss the convenience of staying connected — sending a quick text or finding information instantly. Honestly, completely disconnecting from technology isn’t easy.”

“I would want my family around to make that detox feel comforting. Yet, I would relish the chance to enjoy slow mornings, extended conversations without interruptions, journaling in a notebook, playing board games, or simply sitting outdoors and chatting. There’s a profound joy in that way of living when surrounded by loved ones,” she expressed.

Thode Door Thode Paas serves as a poignant reminder that sometimes stepping away from screens can tighten the bonds between people.

What insights can today’s youth gain from that bygone era?

Mona replied: “Those decades emphasized being present. People engaged in face-to-face interactions, waited for things, and treasured daily rituals. Life moved at a slower pace. I believe the younger generation can appreciate the beauty of taking things slowly—when you dedicate time to a moment, it becomes significant.”

She continued: “Thode Door Thode Paas gently encourages us to pause, look up from our devices, and genuinely connect with those right in front of us.”

The actress portrays Simran, a character embodying the modern multitasking woman.

Mona was particularly struck by Simran’s constant struggle to balance her responsibilities.

“She aims to excel at work, remain present at home, maintain emotional connections with her loved ones, and still carve out time for herself. This is something nearly every woman today can resonate with—the feeling of being stretched too thin. The tension between ‘I can manage everything’ and ‘Am I doing enough?’ felt incredibly relatable to me,” Mona shared.

The series also features Pankaj Kapur and Kunaal Roy Kapur. This upcoming slice-of-life dramedy is available for streaming on ZEE5.

Set against a warm, nostalgic backdrop, the series transports viewers to a time when conversations were sincere, patience was valued, and family bonding didn’t require Wi-Fi.

The show is produced by Manish Trehan, Shailesh Sanghvi, Nailesh Gada, and directed by Ajay Bhuyan.
