Mishti plays the role of Kaanchi, a rebellious young lass from the hilly village of Koshampa in Uttarakhand. The character of Kaanchi seems to be heavily influenced by Ghai`s own Maansi from `Taal` (played by Aishwarya Rai). Her looks, her no-make up avatar, her light hazel eyes and her headstrong attitude are all reminiscent of Ash. However, as beautiful and innocent Mishti is as Kaanchi, she lacks the grace and poise of Aishwarya.
