More power to her, you know—what’s written in someone’s destiny, they receive. I feel like this was meant for me; it was meant for Ayesha, and we got it. But that doesn’t take away from how beautiful Tamannaah is or what a great performer she is!”Krystle went on to add, “Maybe she would have added her own spark to a song—she brings her own aura, her own limelight, and I think that’s wonderful. I feel proud of every woman who is doing so well, and I’d love to see more women deliver amazing, crazy performances and support one another.”
