MONA SINGH REVEALS HOW SHE MANAGES MONEY, SAVINGS AND SPENDING AFTER 20+ YEARS IN SHOWBIZ — WOMEN’S DAY 2026 SPECIAL ON FINANCIAL AWARENESS

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, conversations around financial independence and money management are gaining renewed importance. For actor Mona Singh, who has spent more than two decades in Indian entertainment, financial awareness is not just a buzzword — it is a practical life skill. Known for her versatility across television, films and digital platforms, Mona Singh has built a career that balances commercial success with meaningful roles. Yet when it comes to money, the Subedaar actor believes the fundamentals remain simple: understand your finances, spend mindfully and plan for the future.

In an exclusive interaction with ET Now’s Eshita Bhargava, Singh shared her thoughts on financial responsibility, especially for women who look up to her.

Mona Singh’s advice for women: Know your money

Speaking about financial habits and awareness, Mona Singh emphasised the importance of understanding money early in life. She believes financial literacy gives women confidence and independence.

“I truly believe financial awareness is very important for everyone, especially women. It is empowering to understand how to manage your money, save wisely and invest thoughtfully. No matter what stage you are at in life, being mindful about spending and planning for the future is always valuable. And yes, I think all of us enjoy a good deal once in a while. Being practical with money is never a bad thing.”

Her advice highlights a simple but powerful idea: earning money is one part of the journey, but managing it wisely is what truly builds long-term security.

Being practical with money never goes out of style

Even after years of success in the industry, Singh admits that being practical about spending is something she values. She believes that financial awareness is not about how much you earn, but about how thoughtfully you use it. For many working women today, especially those navigating careers and personal responsibilities simultaneously, Singh’s perspective resonates deeply. Budgeting, saving and investing are not restrictions — they are tools that help create freedom and stability.

From television favourite to versatile performer

Mona Singh first became a household name with the hugely popular television series Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin, where she played the relatable and determined Jassi. The role not only earned her critical acclaim but also turned her into one of Indian television’s most recognisable faces. Over the years, she expanded her work across formats, building a diverse filmography.

Some of Mona Singh’s notable projects include:

• Television: Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin, Kya Huaa Tera Vaada, Pyaar Ko Ho Jaane Do

• OTT and web series: Kehne Ko Humsafar Hain, Black Widows, Made in Heaven, Munjya, Kaala Paani, The Ba***ds of Bollywood, Kohrra, Subedaar, and more

Her ability to move comfortably between television, cinema and streaming platforms has kept her relevant in an industry that constantly evolves.

A Women’s Day message that goes beyond glamour

In an industry often associated with luxury and glamour, Mona Singh’s approach to money is refreshingly grounded. Her message this Women’s Day is not about extravagance or high-profile investments but about awareness, practicality and thoughtful planning. For women at any stage of life — students, professionals or entrepreneurs — her advice remains clear: understand your finances, spend wisely and never underestimate the power of financial independence. After all, as Singh puts it, being practical with money is never a bad thing.
