Mona Singh to play a scientist in Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming web series based on ‘the women behind the Mars Orbiter Mission’

Ekta Kapoor is back with another web show called MOM which revolves around the Mars Orbiter Mission, the space mission that was launched on November 2013. Inspired by real-life events, the show will shed light on the three women scientists who were critical in making Mangalyaan a reality — Seetha Somasundaram, Nandini Harinath and Minal Rohit.

Apparently, actress Mona Singh will be playing one of the women scientists in the web series. A little birdie informed, “Ekta and Mona’s bond goes a long way. When Ekta came up with this idea, the first name that clicked was Mona Singh. On the other hand, Mona also found this project interesting and so, she immediately nodded for it. The actress has already shot few episodes of the same.”
