Comment: Dailymotion, YouTube and blog like primary sources are not reliable to determine notability. HilssaMansen19Irien1291S • spreading wiki love ~ Message here; no calls 13:34, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: This needs a good bit of work. Remove the external link in the lead, those belong at the bottom. Try to fill out the career section with her filmography, films, etc. Look for more sources to back up the claims in all of the sections. Since she is French/Indian, you will probably have a better time finding those results if you search in those languages. Try not to have headings if they are going to be empty, there is no point in them. Good luck, Sophisticatedevening (talk) 20:07, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
