Few years ago, one Mona Singh touched most hearts as the ugly-looking Jassi of the award winning show Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin. The Punjabi kudi is soon gearing up for her second innings on the small screen as a host on two shows -- Extraaa Shots and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. Excerpts from a candid chat. <strong> You're coming back on tv as an anchor for two programmes but when will we see Mona the actor?</strong>

Cricket and Bollywood are two prime passions for most Indians. Mandira Bedi is one lucky girl, who got to live both. For six years, this actress anchored Sony's pre-match cricket show, Extraaa Innings. While she infuriated the connoisseurs, she succeeded in attracting the female audience to cricket. Now, Mandira will continue her tryst with cricket as a judge on ESPN-Star's reality show Dream Job, a talent hunt for Sports presenters. Mandira speaks on her Dream Job, Cricket and more in an exclusive chat with Mayur Lookhar. <strong>
