"As a little girl, I have

voice the dialogues and sing for Rapunzel in 'Tangled: Before Ever After', I was
thrilled as this was my chance to live my childhood dream - of being a Disney
princess," Neeti said.

feisty, creative, independent yet sweet and warm, which I could immediately
relate to. I had a lot of fun bringing alive her spirit of adventure and
affection towards others. I hope the young audience enjoy my rendition of
Rapunzel as much as I loved being her."
