“There are so many young girls across the country who dream of becoming artists, performers and role models, and I hope they make the most of this opportunity. I hope every girl who has a dream gives herself that chance,” she said.

The initiative was announced on September 2, with online applications scheduled to remain open until October 31.
According to the campaign information, applications have already come from all 28 Indian states and six union territories, as well as more than 1,650 cities across 116 countries.
