And here’s what they had to say:
Sadia Khateeb
Sadia Khateeb who debuted in the 2020 movie ‘Shikara’ says “People don’t know a lot about me that includes that I can sing, I can dance , I can paint, I am a fairly good cook and I can ride horses”
Smrithi Srikanth
Smrithi Srikanth of the ‘Cherry Bomb’ youtube channel fame plays one of the 4 sisters in the movie. She says, “ I am a freestyle dancer. I feel good whenever I dance. Apart from that I am a decent singer, not the professional one but, okayish. And I have recently started doing gymnastics so i can do a few basic elements like back walkover and a kip-up”
Deepika Khanna
Deepika Khanna, who has acted in several web series and TV shows since her debut in 2018, says “I love to paint. Not professionally, but I love painting. It’s my go-to thing to do when I want to relax or destress.”
Sahejmeen Kaur
Sahejmeen Kaur, who will debut with Raksha Bandhan says, “You play me any song and I can do its hook step. I can also guess the song by its tune in the first 30 seconds and I can sing that well. And the most secretive hidden talent of mine is I can mimic and write poems as well.”
