Laal Singh Chaddha completes one year, Mona Singh says playing mother to Aamir Khan was 'game-changer' for her

As Laal Singh Chaddha clocked a year on August 11, actress Mona Singh took a stroll down memory lane and shared her experience working with Aamir Khan in the film. In the film, Mona played Gurpreet Kaur, the mother to Aamir Khan's titular character, Laal Singh Chaddha. 

“Laal Singh Chaddha was a game-changer for me, and I, as Gurpreet Kaur, left a significant mark in the film. Working with Aamir has always been challenging and intense, and Laal Singh Chaddha was my second film with him after 3 Idiots. I played a contrasting character with a full life span of 18 to 60, which was quite challenging to portray, and the people saw a whole gamut of portrayals,” Mona said.

“I am glad the character came out so well and was widely accepted by the audience, and I was taken aback by the overwhelming response received for the film. I still remember a shooting experience from my last day where Laal’s mother died with so much courage and bravery, and after the shot was completed, Aamir and Advait Chandan instantly hugged me, and everyone on the set started clapping and crying at the same time,” Mona added.

Helmed by Advait, the film Laal Singh Chaddha also starred Kareena Kapoor Khan. It is the official Hindi remake of the 1994 Hollywood classic, Forrest Gump. The movie was released with Akshay Kumar's Raksha Bandhan. However, both movies did not do well at the box office.
