In a surprising turn of events this year, actress Mona Singh has emerged as an internet sensation, thanks to her unexpected selfies with Bollywood icons Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan Khan. Despite her success with three hit shows, it’s these candid moments that have captured the attention of fans on Instagram.
Mona Singh expressed her admiration for Shah Rukh Khan, referring to him as the ‘King Khan’ for valid reasons. At Shah Rukh Khan’s heavily guarded birthday celebration on November 2, Mona found herself in a unique situation. Despite official photographers present, there were no selfies being taken. Seizing an opportune moment during her personal meet and greet with the star, she requested a photo. Shah Rukh Khan, apologizing for the no-selfie policy, later surprised her by taking her phone and clicking a memorable selfie.
Recalling the incident, Mona Singh shared, “He said, ‘Come here, do you know how talented you are?’ He then took my phone and clicked a selfie. I told him I’d never forget this moment in my life. I was smiling on my way back home. I didn’t even know nobody had any picture with him. That’s why it blew out of proportion.”
Mona Singh also revealed a unique connection with the Khan family, as she shares the same birthday, October 8, with Shah Rukh Khan’s wife, Gauri Khan. She was deeply moved by the warm reception she received at Mannat, where the entire family praised her portrayal of Laal’s mother in the movie “Laal Singh Chaddha.”
Adding to the buzz, Mona attended the premiere of ‘The Archies’ earlier this month, where she garnered attention with a rare selfie featuring Aryan Khan. Describing the event as the grandest premiere they had experienced, Mona shared an organic encounter with Aryan while leaving. After congratulating the cast, she ran into Aryan and complimented his sister’s performance, leading to a spontaneous and memorable selfie moment.
Despite Aryan Khan’s general avoidance of selfies, he graciously agreed, helping Mona get the angle right and humorously remarking, “Ma’am, it’s my job.” The unexpected attention the selfie received surprised Mona, especially considering Aryan’s usual avoidance of such interactions.
Mona Singh’s interactions with the Khan family and these unexpected selfie moments continue to fuel discussions and fascination on social media, making her a notable internet sensation in 2023.
