Mona Singh: TV serials that go on for years don't make sense to me anymore

Mona Singh is perhaps best remembered as the bespectacled assistant in "Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahi", but she has come a long way since those days, and so has the format of storytelling. The actress admits that in times of short web series and OTT boom, she too has evolved as a viewer like others.


"We are losing out on patience, we want something that excites us, entertains us and is short-lived. TV serials that go on for years and years don't make any sense to me anymore because as an audience I don't watch them anymore. I am more hooked to OTT shows from start to finish "You start with a new season, you add new faces and work on the script. It's not about the quantity of 500 to 2,000 episodes, you actually sit down and write something new, have workshops and do it accordingly," says the actress, who has also been part of television shows such as "Kya Huaa Tera Vaada" and "Radhaa Ki Betiyaan Kuch Aur Kar Dikhayengi".

However, television is still presenting shows that have been on for years, with some even marking 1,000 episodes.

However, the actress feels for television to adapt short format shows, it may take some time.
