“Honestly, when I first received an opportunity, I didn’t have high expectations. Coming from Srinagar, where I’ve seen well-organized events, I wasn’t too hopeful. But when I arrived here, I was touched by the sheer scale of participation — youngsters, parents, politicians, and Bollywood actors. Everyone, from Sonu Sood to Jimmy Shergill, was involved. Ayub Khan, Shahbaaz Khan, and Amrish ji initiated this wonderful platform. Amrish Puri ji laid the foundation for Bollywood’s involvement, and I’ve had the privilege of working with him.”
“What makes this event successful is the meticulous attention to detail, from choreography to grooming, that Sambita Bose brings. She teaches the kids everything — from makeup to walking in high heels. I’m impressed by her dedication. I envy the kids who get to learn from her and Mr. Mehta. If I had such guidance when I started my career, it would have made a huge difference. I truly respect them for their commitment to nurturing talent in such a challenging industry.”
