Helen’s songs, even when someone would come to my house, my parents would ask me to
show them my dance to Helen’s songs.”
She went on to describe her experiences from the musical drama's filming, saying, “I
remember when we were filming ‘Mohabbatein’ and Helen Ji was coming in to do a dance
number and I asked for Geeta to teach her the routine, they were all rehearsing and I was
standing in a corner and crying because I got the opportunity to work with my childhood
Idol.”
