It seems like it���s the season of ���college-coming��� for our celebs. After Shah Rukh Khan paid a visit to Hansraj College, it was the turn of sisters Neeti and
Shakti Mohan to return to their alma mater,
Miranda House
, where they performed at the annual college fest. Neeti was the first one to take to the stage and exclaimed at seeing the students, ���This college is still the hottest, my goodness!��� She entertained the students with her dance moves and songs like '
Bang Bang
' and '
Mohabbat buri beemari
'.
Neeti���s songs were interspersed with tales about that particular song and her college memories. After finishing her performance, Neeti called her sister, Shakti on stage. After Shakti���s solo performance, the sisters performed together and Shakti danced while Neeti sang '
Gulaabo
'. The alumnae were also honoured by their principal who read out a citation and revealed that Shakti and Neeti were the youngest alumnae to be honoured by the college.
I am open to films: Neeti Mohan Neeti got emotional after receiving the award and said, ���I had studied in an all-girls��� boarding school and when I came to Miranda, it was a big shock for me. There were so many times when I received compliments from girls and sometimes boys, and even got weird looks from guys who I didn���t even know. Such incidents made me realise that I am a woman now, and that I am more feminine than I thought I was. Sometimes that made me feel weak, while other times it made me feel very strong. Each time I stepped into the college, I felt very powerful. I felt as if I owned the space. I learnt so much about how to handle myself.��� This was greeted by loud cheers.
The singer continued, ���Each time somebody tried to do something in a U-special bus, I wouldn���t stop myself from giving that person one tight slap. That���s what my mother and all the teachers here at Miranda taught us. So, to each Mirandian, wherever you are, just give a big death stare to whoever looks at you in the wrong way. I am really affected every time I hear of any incident in Delhi. You should have so much power, wherever you stand, and so much confidence that people should get the message, ���Dare you look at me like that, teri toh!��� and then there���s no stopping you.���
Her sister Shakti, too shared her tales, she said, ���You all know that we are four sisters, and when we were born, our relatives were not so happy. They were like, ���Chaar betiyaan huyi hain. Ghar kaise chalega.��� While I was studying here, I used to have Rs 5 in my wallet when I used to travel from my home to Miranda, but the bus fare was Rs 7. I used to buy a ticket for Rs 5 till Wazirpur Depot, aur agar buswallah pakad leta toh I would say, 'Bas utarne waali hoon. Next stop hai mera.' This happened for two years. I used to feel so out of place. I didn���t hang out with my friends. I couldn���t speak English and I used to feel like a loser. But the two things that kept me going were ��� dance and studies. I started feeling empowered. Miranda House is the foundation for my career.���
