Pretty and petite, we saw Dua on the screen hosting Sur Saath Savera and lightening up mornings with her easy charm and elegant wardrobe choices. She made her debut in the industry with her solo Ranjhana and moved on to acting, a talent that runs in her family. She was seen on drama serials Khafa Khafa Zindagi and brought the reel to life.
