Kids to anchor Powerpuff Girls on Cartoon Network

Six kids. One competition, and a month long stint in front of the camera. Atiuttam and Swarali are the two lucky kids amongst the chosen six, who will host a Cartoon Network show, PowerPuff Girls. The two have been chosen from Mumbai, through auditions in 16 cities during the Powerpuff Generation Contest held in June this year. This is for the first time in the history of the channel that it would have live hosts. "It's a great feeling. I have a special power in the show - I am the elastic girl. I can stretch my arms and they have used a lot of special effects to signify my powers," says Swarali, who is all of 13 and talks like a grown up! "I am not nervous now. But in the first few episodes I was really scared. Now, I am awaiting the response of my friends!" says Atiuttam, who is in class five and this is his first television appearance and 'jadoo' is his special power. Not so for his friend, Swarali, who has appeared in Marathi soaps and has also been a participant in Star Plus' Kuch Kar Dikhana Hai. While the two kids have got an opportunity early in life, to make a mark in tellydom, they have very different dreams ----Swarali wants to pursue her dream of becoming an actress, while Atiuttam wants to be a surgeon! Here's hoping that these kids have a long and fruitful journey in telly land!
