Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, continues to dominate conversations online, not only for its star-studded ensemble cast but also for its audacious storytelling and unexpected moments. Among the scenes that left fans stunned, one particular sequence—a kiss between Mona Singh’s character Neeta and Bobby Deol’s Ajay Talwar—has generated immense discussion. In a recent interview, Mona Singh opened up about the making of this moment, sharing her experience, the creative process behind it, and Aryan Khan’s distinctive directorial approach.

A Memorable Scene with a Fun Twist

Mona Singh, known for her versatile performances in television and film, revealed that the kiss scene was “one of the most fun scenes” she has ever shot. Portraying Neeta, the mother of lead character Aasmaan Singh, Mona shared that the scene was meticulously planned, yet infused with the spontaneity that Aryan Khan thrives on as a director.

Speaking to Zoom, she emphasized Aryan’s clarity and confidence during the shoot. “Aryan was so clear that he wanted it that way,” she said, referring to the slow-motion shot that concluded the series. The sequence, shot silently without music or audio, created an intense visual impact. “Because the moment you see it, you want to go back — you can’t believe what you just saw,” Mona added. She highlighted that Aryan’s decision to strip the scene of background audio elevated its emotional resonance and left viewers in awe.

Aryan Khan’s Hands-On Direction

Mona Singh praised Aryan Khan’s involvement in every detail of the scene. From framing and camera angles to the blocking of actors and emotional rhythm, Aryan reportedly directed with an acute sense of timing and storytelling. “He knew exactly how to shoot it. He went with his gut, and I’m so glad he did,” she shared. Mona credited his intuition and command over the scene for the seamless execution of a sequence that could have easily felt awkward or forced.

She further explained that Aryan’s guidance ensured the actors were comfortable while still delivering a scene that was visually striking. “He kept showing me every move, how to time the gestures, how to make the pause work. His understanding of comic timing and emotional beats is excellent,” she said. The director’s hands-on approach, according to Mona, made the filming both professional and enjoyable.

Reimagining a Classic Song

One of the highlights of The Ba**ds of Bollywood* is Aryan Khan’s reimagining of cult Bollywood tracks. Mona revealed that he recreated the iconic song Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela from the 1997 thriller Gupt, retitled as Sailab in the series. While Mona was not part of the original song, she was digitally inserted alongside Bobby Deol for the sequence.

“I actually danced for the music video. Even the kiss I gave to Bobby — I was doing that with a man dressed in a full blue costume!” Mona laughed. She described Aryan’s meticulous direction during this number, highlighting how he guided every move and gesture to ensure authenticity while maintaining a playful vibe. “Aryan kept showing me every move. He’s so sure of what he wants,” she added. The combination of digital effects, choreography, and Aryan’s direction resulted in a visually compelling sequence that thrilled audiences.

Fan Reactions and Climax Buzz

The finale of The Ba**ds of Bollywood* left viewers in shock, with many taking to social media to express disbelief and excitement over the kiss scene. Mona recalled that her phone “didn’t stop buzzing” after the episode aired, with friends, colleagues, and industry professionals reaching out late at night to react to the climactic moment. “So many of my friends and producers called me, saying, ‘What the hell? Yeh kya hai?’” she laughed.

Mona also highlighted other fan-favorite moments, including a now-viral scene featuring Raghav Juyal and Emraan Hashmi, who played an intimacy coordinator. “That one and the climax — those are my top two favorite moments,” she said, noting the clever writing and playful execution of both sequences.
