When asked about Sara's two big back-to-back films, Soha said, "She is very talented. I liked the promo of Kedarnath and I liked her work in it. I saw the episode of Koffee with Karan and that also I enjoyed watching."

"She is confident, talented and she has got the right film to launch her, the promo of which looks exceptional. I think she is going to make a big impact and I wish her all the best, Soha told reporters here on the sidelines of an event on Tuesday.

She was talking at the launch of Miko2, the robot, developed to educate, engage and entertain kids of above five years of age.

"As a parent we want development of our child. Working parents are unable to spend time with the child so they look for ways to stimulate the child, how do we give them the right values, how do we be with them emotionally, virtually, educationally and responsibly.

"This (Miko 2) is fun, interactive, entertaining, etc, Soha said.
