Mona Singh reunited with Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan for Laal Singh Chaddha after 3 Idiots. This time, she plays the role of Aamir's mother in the Hindi adaptation of Tom Hanks' Laal Singh Chaddha. While Mona was praised after the trailer released, a section of people slammed the makers for casting her as Aamir's mother. Reason? Age. Mona is in her 40s whereas Aamir is 57 years old. Reacting to it, Aamir told the media during an interaction that there is no logic behind the criticism. 

“I want to ask you a question that as an actor, as a creative person, if I'm looking 103, which I'm supposed to, why is my age inappropriate to play the role? Just because I am 57? What is the logic? Age specific kya hota hai actor ke liye? Actor ka toh yeh kamaal hota hai ke woh kuch bhi age ka ho aur kuch bhi age lage," Aamir told.
