Mihir Ahuja Reflects on Mona Singh's Acting, Compares Her to Irrfan Khan
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Mumbai, April 15 (NationPress) Actor Mihir Ahuja praised actress Mona Singh’s remarkable talent during an interview with IANS, notably drawing a heartfelt parallel with the late Bollywood legend Irrfan Khan.
Mihir and Mona recently shared the screen in their web series Maa Ka Sum.
Discussing Mona’s commitment and methodology, Mihir remarked, “As performers, we can sense the atmosphere of the location where we're set to film. You can envision yourself in the scene. Someone once noted a similar trait in Irrfan Khan, who would arrive on set early, taking in everything and imagining how he would portray the character.”
“When acting intertwines with action, it becomes authentic. In everyday life, we converse while engaging in activities, be it work or chores. That’s how acting should resonate. I believe this quality existed in Irrfan and is evident in Mona as well. She truly immerses herself in the environment, observing it intently, which is a lesson I aspire to carry forward in my career.”
The actor further commended Mona Singh for her unwavering professionalism, stating, “Honestly, if I were to list her qualities, it would be endless. Firstly, her punctuality is something I genuinely admire.”
He continued, “One invaluable lesson I’ve learned from her, which I strive to incorporate into my own life, is that as actors, we have designated times, yet she often doesn’t wait for the assistant director to summon her. If she’s ready, she simply heads to the set. That in itself is a significant takeaway.”
For those unfamiliar, Mona Singh portrayed Mihir Ahuja’s mother, Vineeta, in Maa Ka Sum.
The series also featured chef Ranveer Brar alongside Mona and Mihir.
