industry for me; it's a part of my DNA."
Sitara continues to share the
influential role her father and her grandfather have played in shaping her love
for cinema. She writes, "My father, a titan of the silver screen, has
always been my inspiration, just like his father was to him. My thathagaru, known
to the world as the legendary evergreen superstar Krishna, has had such a
profound impact and influence on us all. I'm incredibly proud and grateful to
be a part of this legacy that he left behind for my father, my brother, and
me."
Sitara concludes her note with a
celebration of the magic of cinema and expresses her gratitude to all the
individuals who have supported her family's cinematic journey. She includes the
hashtag #NationalCinemaDay to mark this special occasion.
National Cinema Day was initiated
by the Multiplex Association of India (MAI) in 2022. This day was created to
celebrate the reopening of cinema halls after the challenging period of the
COVID-19 pandemic. To encourage movie lovers to support cinema hall owners who
faced significant losses during the pandemic, the MAI decided to offer
substantial discounts on movie tickets on this occasion.
At the young age of 12, Sitara is
already making her mark as a star in the entertainment industry. With over 1.5
million followers on her official Instagram handle, she shares her passion for
dancing and often provides glimpses of her talent. Additionally, Sitara has
become a brand ambassador for a jewellery brand, showcasing her versatility and
potential.
In 2019, Sitara gave voice to the
character of Baby Elsa in the Telugu version of the beloved English fantasy
movie, Frozen 2. Not only that, but she also collaborates with director Vamsi
Paidipally's daughter on a YouTube channel named Aadya & Sitara, which
boasts over 280K subscribers.
