Barkha Singh, the young Kareena Kapoor from Mujhse Dosti Karoge, recalls ‘tough’ audition process

Barkha Singh, who played the young Kareena Kapoor in the 2002 hit movie Mujhse Dosti Karoge recalls the tough audition process. While the actress said that she did it all for ice cream, she still had to compete against 600-700 little girls at that time. Kareena was seen playing the role of Tina and Barkha played the cute little Tina. Apart from Kareena, Mujhse Dosti Karoge also starred Rani Mukerji and Hrithik Roshan.

Barkha revealed that some people still recognize her from Mujhse Dosti Karoge and even compare her to Kareena a lot. In an interview with Spotboye, Barkha recalled, “I do remember giving the audition for that role and it was a tough process. There were about 600-700 kids who auditioned for the role of young Tina, and I want there pretty chill after school, just in an attempt to make my mother buy me ice cream on the way. It just happened that I got it but I did give five rounds of auditions for that. People sometimes still do remember it and especially one phrase, where we go like, “Tina… Pooja”. That kind of got stuck with the people, but thankfully now people recognise me for my more recent work.”

Barkha said that she is still recognized as the young Kareena Kapoor by people, “A lot of times people still do refer to me as young Kareena and it’s surprising that people actually remember that. They even say that my face is still the same, although I don’t know whether to take it as a compliment.”

Barkha has been seen in web series like Engineering Girls and Please Find Attached. She was also seen in the Manoj Bajpayee starrer Silence… Can You Hear It?
