Why did Mona Singh call her husband, Shyam Gopalan’s proposal ‘super bad’?
Mona Singh described her husband, Shyam Gopalan‘s marriage proposal as ‘bekar’ because it was far from the romantic moment she had envisioned. She shared these details during an appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show in 2021. Shyam’s October 2019 proposal, which took place on Mona’s birthday, went wrong in every possible way, and the hilarious details had the host, Kapil Sharma, and the audience laughing. While Mona and her husband were driving to shop for a kurta for him, he abruptly stopped his car at a busy road turning, which sparked utter chaos. Shyam Gopalan’s car was blocking traffic, causing other drivers to honk incessantly and yell at them.
