At least on the face of it, filmmaker actor Ajay Devgn's discovery Sayyeshaa seems to have what it takes to make a career in films. Born to actors Shaheen and Sumeet Saigal, this academically bright girl who studied in Mumbai and London, was determined from her pre-teen years to strike the right balance between arts and education. Not only was she a topper in school, her quest for the performing arts also made her invest in several classical and non-classical forms of dance in Brazil, South Africa and London. The girl, who is proficient in Latin American, Rhumba, Samba, Jazz funk, Belly dancing, Hip hop, Kathak, Odissi, created a mini-furore when her dance video, where she matched steps with Tiger Shroff, made its appearance online. Determined to make it entirely on her own, the teenager auditioned when Ajay was casting for his ambitious home-production Shivaay.

This attractive youngster is so nimble-footed that apparently the actor-director has recorded a special track to showcase her dancing skills. This is the first time in his 25-year career that Ajay is launching a new girl. It is also rumoured that when Bollywood superstar Salman Khan spotted her somewhere, he remarked that “she has spark“. With such praise, the newbie who will make her Bollywood debut this Diwali, has all eyes set on her.
