Summary

With the shocking Shahs of Sunset reunion just finished, Dr. Mona Vand from Shah’s of Sunset steps Behind The Rope. Nema’s Sister. Yes, she is, but there is much more to Mona, or should we say Dr. Vand, then her Shah’s cast member brother or her own guest appearances. Growing up with her mom in New York, she kept in touch with Brother Nema and her Dad long distance until she graduated from Pharmacy school and moved to LA herself. Soon realizing she wanted more out of life than a typical pharmacy career, Mona transitioned her career by developing on line content in the lifestyle and health and wellness space. Mona knew Mike which led to a chat with casting which led to a full time role for Nema and guest appearances by her. Mona entertains all of the Ropes questions (thank you) regarding her Shahs co-stars. What does she really think about Nema and GG as a potential romantic pair? First impressions of MJ? Is Reza the gay BFF she always dreamed of? These and other pressing questions, such as what she thinks about the demise of a 30 year friendship between Reza and MJ, answered. And bonus, we got quarantine advice on how to work out, eat healthy, and maintain positive energy and good skin during the sequester.
