This is a very interesting tale. I was celebrating my birthday when I got a call from the production house about this audition, which were held second day.

However, she has her own views and ways. I could relate to her as the girl represents our generation completely.

It is absolutely fun. I am junior most in this team. Anita and Abhijeet are working in this industry for so many years, I can learn so much from them. We talk and discuss about so many things. They keep playing pranks on me, and yet they both pamper me as well.
