"Free-spirit Sahani, is brought to vivid life by Shila. Extremely confident and funny, Sahani’s energetic personality really carried the call centre scenes and you couldn’t help but laugh at how she moaned at boyfriend Sonny’s mummy issues. Shila was a standout performer with her endearing and witty portrayal of the character. "
- The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Tour.

“This is an enormously talented ensemble cast each and every individual excels with special mention to Shila as foul mouthed Meenah who shines as the sassy sole female of the siblings”
