Rise to Fame

When she was seven and a half years old, she answered an open casting call for the role of Nala in the stage-adaptation of ‘The Lion King’. On the day of the audition, four thousand aspirants had shown up, and Amelia and three others were ultimately selected from the group. During an interview with BBC Asian Network’s Preeya Kalidas, she recounted her experience at the audition. She remembered walking into a massive studio room with a person sitting on a piano bench. She was given vocal training and was asked to sing a couple of songs. She was also taught choreography. After she was picked, she was sent to Cub School to prepare for the role. Amelia had apparently auditioned for the show once before but was rejected for being one centimetre too short. By the time she started attending Cub School, she was eight years old.
