Singer Monia Bedi
BY VAIDEHI SACHIN AND PHILIP VARGHESE
Monica Bedi’s debut as a singer seems to have surprised don Abu Salem, who has been in jail for so many years. As usual Monica’s new ventures have given sweet surprises to don. Her entry in big boss, her alleged relations with Rahul Mahajan and now as singer has come as a shocker for Salem. Salem's claim in public about the alleged relationship between the two comes in the backdrop of the actress' earlier attempts to refute the don's stand that the two were married. Earlier, Bedi in her interviews had said that although she knew Salem for several years they had never got married. Salem and Bedi's friendship has also seen some legal drama earlier. He had served a legal notice on Bedi saying that he was ‘deeply hurt’ and ‘distressed’ by her statements denying their marriage.
Monica Bedi, who made a comeback into the entertainment industry with Bigg Boss 2, has turned singer. The Bollywood starlet has rendered her voice for a spiritual album ‘Ek Onkaar’, which is a compilation of one of the revered mantras of the Guru Granth Sahib. The album will be released by Universal Music. In an exclusive tete-a-tete with Samay, Monica said that it was her image that won her this opportunity.
“People look at me as a strong woman who has gone through trials and tribulations in life and has bounced back. But it was my faith and belief in God and the fact that I surrendered myself to Him and started praying, that has seen me through the darkest period of my life. Through this album, I want to spread the message that belief and faith in God will help solve all life's problems,” the actress says humbly.
For someone who has had no professional training in singing, she sailed through the recording. Now she has decided to take classical training in music.
“It was an absolutely new experience for me, and an extremely exciting one, but I did a decent job,” laughs Monica. So would she consider a career in singing in the near future? “For that, I would require proper training, but after doing this, I have got immense confidence in my capabilities. And it's good to learn singing because it helps you develop so many expressions, so it's a plus point for any actor.”
Asked about her 'good friend' Rahul Mahajan, she tells us that she is too caught up with work - her two films and another reality show - to meet him, or any of her other friends from the Bigg Boss 2 show. But for now, Monica is singing another tune, and she's loving every sur and taal of it.
Life behind bars has not dimmed underworld don Abu Salem's attraction towards actress and former lover Monia Bedi as today he once again publicly said that she was his wife, a claim which has been refuted by her on several occasions. In his notice, he had claimed that the duo got married in a mosque at Los Angeles in November 2000. Salem had said that his anguish has been “multiplied manifold” since he was unable to communicate with Bedi. Salem has been lodged at the Arthur road jail in Central Mumbai, ever since his deportation from Portugal in November 2005.
