Singer-actress Shanaaya last seen in the television reality show Aaja Mahi Vay on Star Plus has become ‘size-zero’ for her debut album and latest music video both titled ‘Sneh’.
This is not all. Shanaaya who was earlier known as Sneha is undergoing a makeover – engineered for her by Bollywood Artiste and Celeb Management Agency Bollywood Brands. “She has lost nearly 8 kilos over the last two months and now qualifies for a size-zero,” says her publicist Flynn Remedios.
“I had put on a few kilos and wanted to look really slim, trim and prim for my debut album, so I went on a special diet for a few weeks,” says Shanaaya, adding that she doesn’t understand the hype associated with size zero.
The 18-year-old girl who originally hails from Hyderabad, ‘but has been living all her life in aamchi Mumbai’ says she likes singing as much as acting and will ‘sing’ three out of the eight tracks in her album.
Unfortunately for the chirpy, vivacious teenager, her video promo print photo shoot was recently interrupted by the Goregaon (in suburban Mumbai) police who wanted to book the photographer and the young actress for allegedly shooting late into the wee hours of the night without prior permission. Shanaaya defended herself and the photographer saying that they were not shooting outdoors and one need not take police permission to shoot in a closed indoor photo studio.
Shanaaya, an excellent dancer herself, was earlier assisting choreographer Shabinaa Khan - of Aashiq Banaya Aapne fame who has choreographed umpteen films and music albums till date including RGV’s Naach, Mein Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon and Bhoot to name a few - before she sashayed into Bollywood.
