Kushboo is 10 years and likes the color blue. Her favorite subject is English and hates the subject Hindi. She is carefree and loves to laugh and spontaneously dance. When she groes up she wants to be an artist.

Ruth has the biggest smile and is always laughing! Her favorite subject is math and she hates Hindi. Her favorite color is blue and she wants to be a singer when she grows yp.
