Mona Singh
became one of the evening's highlights.
SRK recalls his favorite show
The superstar praised Mona, recalling that Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin was his all-time favorite show and calling her one of its highlights.
He also playfully complained about her frequently taking on mother roles at a young age, while appreciating how well she portrays them.
Mona's witty response to SRK
The actress jokingly replied that since Shah Rukh plays the young hero in films like Jawan, someone has to take up the mother's role, which leaves her with fewer younger roles. In response, SRK promised her a lead role opposite him in the future.
Mona played Abhay Verma's mother in Munjya (June 2024) and earlier appeared as Gurpreet Kaur Chaddha, Laal's mother, in Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha (2022).

Content drives a film, not the cast: Sharmiela Mandre
Actress Sharmiela Mandre , who has begun shooting Dad with superstar Shivarajkumar, opens up to Bangalore Times about her first day on set, the need for stronger women's stories in Kannada cinema, and her vision as both actor and producer. : 'DAD IS NOT THE TYPICAL MASS ENTERTAINER' With Shivarajkumar, Dad is on a bigger scale, but it's not one of those larger-than-life commercial films, explains Sharmiela. 'Being a thriller, the approach is different — the content is strong, and that's what drives it. It excites me not just as an actor but also as a viewer,' she says. 'STRONG SCRIPT CONNECTS WITH THE AUDIENCE' Sharmiela admits that female-centric stories are still rare in Kannada cinema. 'I've come across women-led scripts, but many didn't excite me. I want to be part of more female-driven films. The script is everything. If the writing is strong, people will connect—whether it's led by a man or a woman 'IMPACTFUL ROLES ALWAYS STAND OUT' On striking a balance between mass and meaningful cinema, Sharmiela explains, 'For an actor, the choice is often a small solo film where nothing stands out, or a big-budget project with an impactful role. For me, if the role adds weight to a larger film, I'd love to do it. With the pan-India culture, people remember strong roles, no matter the screen time.' It's my second time working with Shivanna, so it didn't feel like a new environment. He makes everyone comfortable on set; his energy is amazing, you automatically get involved as a co-actor. It didn't feel like work, it felt like the best shoot ever Sharmiela Mandre 'GOOD WRITING IS WHAT STAYS' As a producer, Sharmiela is equally invested in content. 'I don't want to make the usual big-scale commercial films. I'd like to start with something grounded — maybe a family drama or a fresh subject with newcomers. Today's audience wants to be engaged from the start. Good writing is what stays, and that's what I'm chasing — both on screen and behind it,' she says.
