After acting as NRI kids in the Punjabi film Pardesi, sisters Ekta Kapoor and Ritika Kapoor are all set to win several hearts with the roles they have bagged in two Hindi films — Farm House and Ishaq aisa bhi.

While Ekta studies in Class V, Ritika is a student of Class IV at R S Model Senior Secondary School in Shastri Nagar.

Although they are yet to be briefed about their role in Farm House, they have some reason to cheer as they are cast opposite actor Gracy Singh. Regarding Ishaq aisa bhi, we get it from the horse's mouth: "We will fight goons in the film. We are very enthusiastic."

Talking to Newsline, Ekta and Ritika, who have just finished shooting for an advertisement related to computer games, said: "We had been offered many assignments recently. We have also got an opportunity to work in a serial on Colors channel, Char Sikandar, and in Punjabi films — Sifat

Punjab Di, Dildariyan, Buddhu da Aava Pucca and a film based on P N Baba Vadbhag Singh.

Both these talented girls have already worked in Amar Hans' Punjabi venture Pardesi and C L Balani's telefilm Pratibha Ki Kiran.

They have also appeared in several video albums including Aashique Nemanne, Gaddi Challi Paunahari de Dwara Bhagton, Mata Ki Bhetein — the list is exhaustive.

Apart from being budding stars, both sisters shine in academics too. While Ekta wants to learn all the languages and aspires to be a solider along with being a celebrity, Ritika wants to make a career in the field of environmental science.

Like all other children of their age, the sisters spend their free time playing with dolls, kitchen sets and of course friends.

While their proud mother Poonam Kapoor is a councillor at Christian Medical College and Hospital, father Yashpal Kapoor works in a local industrial unit.

Ask them how the children manage their studies along with a jam-packed schedule of shoots, Yashpal Kapoor beams:

"They take leave from school and my wife takes care of their studies during the shooting. We are very proud of our daughters."
