Vishakha Singh’s initial steps into the spotlight were a mix of TV ads and Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada films. While her 2007 debut in “Gnaapakam” didn’t set the box office on fire, her dedication didn’t waver. She made her Hindi debut in “Hum Se Jahan” and later caught the eye of Bollywood bigwigs in Ashutosh Gowariker’s “Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey,” even earning a nomination for Best Breakthrough Performance.
