The foundation for the project was so strong that I saw no need to add anything! Props, lines, clothes enhance the moments. Without these props an actor is lost. And the co-stars! This is nine-year old Ayesha Kapoor's first attempt at film acting. That a girl that small can give such a huge performance is incredible. Again it's Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ability to choose the right person for every character. Many directors can extract great performances from seasoned actors. Only a Sanjay Leela Bhansali can get such a performance out of a totally untried actor.

Ayesha is extremely confident, intelligent and focussed. And very committed; she'd get upset if she didn't deliver the correct shots. This, coming from a little kid, is quite amazing. A lovely child and a fine actress. When she decides to take up the profession full time, she'll have my full support and recommendation.
