Aditi Saigal, also known as DOT, has held her fort in the much-acclaimed film The Archies, helmed by Zoya Akhtar. The film had a fresh bunch of kids making their debut, which included names like Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda and Khushi Kapoor. However, ever since the release the singer, songwriter and actor has been heaped with praises for her natural acting. She confesses she related well to Ethel Muggs as a character.
Though, given a chance, she says she would have loved to play Jughead Jones. "I love Jughead. even in real life. He's so cool and has his own thing going on in the comics. He has his track in life and nothing else matters."
She was certainly born to be in showbiz, as she's the daughter of the famous theatre personality Shena Gamat and late Amit Saigal, who was a rock musician and founder and editor of the music magazine Rock Street Journal. It was her mother who also came up with a unique stage name for Aditi, who delved into the world of music at the tender age of 12. She reveals the logic behind it. "It comes from a young time in my life when my mom and I used to fill in colouring books. For me, it just had to be in the lines. In comes my mom and she is just drawing dots all over the place and starting to make designs. I used to get upset and ask her repeatedly why she was not doing it correctly, and she said, ‘Well, a little dot never hurts anyone.”
