Famous actress Mona Singh started her career as a model and later landed in controversy after a pornographic MMS of hers’ went viral on social media.
In 2013, there was a wave in the entertainment world when an MMS showing a woman in an objectionable state was leaked on the internet. It was said that the female actress in the clip is Mona Singh.
However, Mona Singh refuted the claims and said that the clip was morphed. She had also lodged a complaint with the Mumbai police.
The 23-second clip allegedly shows Mona, bereft of any clothes, walking out of the kitchen, sticking her tongue out at the camera, before going into another room to pick up a tumbler and then winking once again. All this without a stitch of clothing on her. The video looks dated and was shot with a handphone.
