Dishita Sehgal, who began her journey in the entertainment world through TV commercials at the age of four, gradually won hearts with her natural flair. Her big Bollywood break came with the thriller Baby, in which she played Akshay Kumar’s daughter, followed by Dear Zindagi, where she portrayed the younger version of Alia Bhatt, and Hindi Medium.

She also made her mark in the action blockbuster War, alongside Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff.And now, she will be seen in one of the most awaited films of the year – Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana.

Rakul Preet Singh will portray the grown-up Surpanakha in the much-anticipated project.A source associated with the production says, “Dishita went through a series of auditions and look tests for the role before getting selected. She shot her portion earlier this year. Being part of such a highly anticipated project, she is obviously quite excited.”Currently, she is working on commercials and recently shot an advertisement with badminton ace PV Sindhu.
