Mohit Suri praises Aneet Padda
In conversation with us, Mohit revealed that he saw Aneet’s audition on a mobile phone. The director said, “She taught herself acting, singing at home in COVID. She sent auditions, got rejected, and improved after every rejection. I’ve seen her self-audition on a mobile phone. She did that on her phone and sent it.”
The Saiyaara director further mentioned, “Shanoo Sharma (casting director) should be given a lot of credit for this, who flew her down and auditioned her here. She was the one girl who auditioned on old scenes but did it her own way. She’s a powerhouse of talent, which is just yet to be tapped.”
He continued to praise Aneet by adding, “She is someone who has got the confidence. But at the same time, she has the approach to be critical to herself and learn from that. She doesn’t need too much of handholding. She is an independent, strong girl who came from Amritsar and has made it on her own.”
