Pune: Actor Mona Singh Recounts Spooky Encounter with Ghostly Figure on Bund Garden Bridge

Actor Mona Singh, who is currently promoting her upcoming horror-comedy film 'Munjya,' shared a spooky encounter that she faced in Pune while she was returning back home.

Speaking to ANI the actress shared the incident from her time in Pune.

"One night, while returning home on my scooty, I crossed the Bund Garden Bridge, a famous spot in Pune. At the bridge's beginning, a girl asked for a lift. Reluctant to give lift to a stranger at night, I drove on. To my surprise, the same person reappeared at the other end of the bridge, asking for a lift again. It was a chilling experience." The actress further spoke about her belief in black magic.

'I believe in the existence of negative and positive energies'

"I believe in the existence of negative and positive energies. There are people who practice black magic, evidenced by sightings of lemons, chilies, and dolls on streets. It's best not to engage with these practices to avoid unnecessary risks." Mona also spoke about her role in 'Munjya,' where she is portraying the character of Pammi.

"I'm playing the character of Pammi in the film. Abhay is portraying Bittu, my son, and I'm his mother, who is pretty strict and possessive about him. Our journey together is filled with twists and turns. There's plenty of drama and chaos. My character in the film is a lot of fun, a bit loud and feisty, and it's hardcore comedy, something I've never attempted before." Starring Sharvari, Mona Singh, Abhay Verma, and Sathyaraj, the film helmed by Aditya Sarpotdar revolves around 'Munjya,' a rooted myth from the world of Indian belief and cultural system.
