Newly-wed actress Genelia Deshmukh will be seen mentoring 10 young girls on the TV show "Lux The Chosen One". She says these youngsters are here to prove a point and not to make some noise
"The show is about 10 beautiful girls who are here to prove a point and be the face of the UTV Stars. All the girls are confident and they know exactly what they want. It's not like a typical reality show where everyone is just there to make some noise," she said Wednesday at the launch of the show.
