She also talked openly about the popular show's appeal and the sacrifices she had to make for it.
Mona remarked on the same and stated, "Contracts were very strict at that point of time. I couldn't tell anyone how I looked in real life or who I am or what my name is? The first ever award that I bagged for the show was as Jasmeet Walia and I did not get it as Mona Singh. I used to wonder when people get to know me and look at me. But it was another high to be Jassi as the show was very popular. There were many restrictions like none of the actors knew how I looked even my Jassi Jaisi... actors did not know at that point how I looked in real life."
She also revealed that the show's producers had placed her in a hotel in order to hide her true identity. She said, "Press, media had challenged back then that they would reveal my real identity, my address and how I look in real life. The channel also freaked out and they got me out of my house and asked me to stay at a hotel. I had to stay at a hotel, my cars would change and I would always get ready in my Jassi look in my hotel and would then go to my set."
Additionally, Mona was forbidden from receiving any cosmetic procedures. She mentoned, "I was not allowed to do waxing, no threading, no eyebrows and they would stick more hair on my face. I was not allowed to bleach my face. These were the too many restrictions that I was asked to follow to match up to Jassi."
