Miley magic

Diya Pingulkar

I watched the show in between school, tuitions and everything else. Until then, singing mostly meant Hindi songs, but the show nudged a shift towards English pop. Discovering Miley Cyrus’s music, her performances, both as Hannah and as herself, influenced me and instilled confidence. It was reassuring to see an “ordinary 13-year-old” live an “extraordinary” life. I conquered stage fear; even now, being on stage and singing comes naturally.
