In the video capturing a candid moment, Samaira, accompanied by her mother, Ritika, was seen leaving a building when greeted by media personnel near the exit gate. Unfazed by the attention, the little one responded by waving her tiny hand graciously.
When a reporter inquired about her father's whereabouts, Samaira paused, turning to face the media with innocence and confidence. The ensuing exchange unfolded as follows:
Reporter: Where's your father?
With that, the brave and adorable Samaira concluded the impromptu interview, making her exit with poise.
