She is Zaira Wasim. Doesn't ring a bell? Well, take a good look at the picture below.
Yes, Zaira Wasim is the actress who plays the role of young Geeta in Aamir Khan's Dangal, scheduled for December 23.
"Sapne dekhna toh basic hota hai. Yeh toh sabko allowed hona chahiye," says a very feisty Zaira when the trailer of Secret Superstar begins. The trailer features Zaira as an ambitious teenage who wants to be a singer, and the world to jingle to her tunes, literally. But the biggest obstacle in Zaira's path to success is her father, who ruins her guitar within a jiffy. Hence, determined, Zaira goes incognito.
