Stand-up artiste Jamie Lever and actor Shikha Talsania talk about finding their feet in showbiz, despite their famous surnames

Their fathers, comedians Johnny Lever and Tiku Talsania, have worked together in several films. But this is the first time that these two women have found themselves in the same room. Stand-up comedian Jamie Lever has followed in her father's footsteps, and Shikha Talsania too is actively involved in theatre and films. In fact, she is just back from Delhi after shooting for Veere di Wedding with Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor and Swara Bhaskar. "I have had a heavy breakfast, another shoot schedule, and have worked hard to get fitter this year. So, I will pick a beetroot hummus platter and cucumber chaas," confesses Shikha. "I have been on a weight-loss journey for five years. I used to weigh 80 kg, I have lost 25," admits Jamie as she picks the non veg meal at Farmers' Café. Once the orders are out of the way, the duo bond over the similarities of living in a "star" family, but having dads who help them stay grounded.
