[Laughs] Not really, because she moves. We had to lip-sync a song and we also had to look pretty and calm but it wasn't really easy in the beginning.

Kunal Sharma, one of the actors in the film, has talked about the number of wedding parties he had crashed into.

[Chuckles]. We could not do it. But watching the wedding processions was one of the most exciting things I have seen. Sometimes the road would be blocked for an hour and it was such a colourful sight. Seeing the bridegroom on the horse was another great sight.

Did you join the dancing?

[Laughs]. No but we pulled the down [the windows] and watched the amazing sight from our car.

This film is described as a coming of age film and it is also described as a film about bonding.

Surely. My character in the film is undergoing a lot of emotional turmoil and I get a lot of help from my friends, the other Cheetah Girls.

How does the theme of friendship and bonding evolve?

When girls graduate from high school, they are concerned about what they're going to do with their lives, and they run into problems and conflicts and bad periods. If the friendship is true, they get a lot of support from their friends.

Three of us have to face [in the film] the inevitable change that comes with getting older, something that we are slightly unprepared for. We don't know what the future holds for us and how we're going to stay together when we're going off to different schools.

There is the element of competition because we're vying for the same movie role, but I think it more has to do with us just kind of going our own ways and knowing that we don't have to walk the same path to be friends. It is about how to keep our dream of being good friends alive even when we are going in various directions.
